Hectic and then it all ended pretty well I'd say

This morning was the usual morning....trying to get the girls ready for school...they have been waking up at 8 which has been good and bad. Dan was home and was suppose to try and sleep in but he didn't so he dropped the girls off with me. Then it started...my sudden burst of "I'm super grumpy mom" happened all because as soon as Dan gets back to the truck, I learn Madison was suppose to bring cupcakes for some thing they had going on during lunch. I'm thinking great....I have to mail these things off and have other things I needed to do so I'll just pick some up at the commissary and call it good. So we drop off Hannah, Dan takes Hannah up and some of the mom's ask where "his sweet wife" is and this puts Dan in a instant good mood and laughs his annoying laugh and they don't get it. I'm anything but sweet right now...I'm "crabby mommy" as Hannah put it waiting in the truck so I can just mail these pictures to people and just get the cupcakes and go home. So we head to the coffee shop since nothing is opened until 10 and it's 9:30 and so we are killing time there. We get the cupcakes, I wait forever at the post office but then I cheer up since I get Isabella's bedding in the mail. YAY! So I'm in a better mood but then Dan wants cupcakes so we go yet again into the commissary to pick up some more cupcakes since the idea of him taking one out of the boxes is so tacky and I'm like tired by the time we get to Madison's school which is around 10:50. So Dan drops them off and then my cell phone rings and it's Madison's school, I didn't bring a mermaid costume for Madison like she had told Dan to tell me. Didn't get that message. So I ask what time and they are changing at lunch which is 12! Where in the world am I suppose to get a mermaid costume and why didn't I know about these things before the day of???!!! So we rush home and I head to the city centre to try and find something that will work. I actually get a parking spot on the side of the road where I don't have to pay and can just walk straight into the centre. I then head to the only store I know that has costumes and there it is...a high school musical dress that's blue and long with kind of ruffles that would so work as a mermaid. So I pick it up for 20 quid because seriously I don't care at this point how much it is. I get her some blue flip flops and figure I will go home, get a white shirt for underneath and make a coconut bra out of cardboard and that will be good. I do all this and I get to the school at 11:50. Madison comes home and she's like what was that cardboard circle thing? She obviously didn't get the bra thing but she liked the dress minus the fact it was a little long. Hey, you can't be too picky when I have an hour to get this stuff in a town that is limited.

So then at 4, we were taking the girls to try out their first karate class to see how they like it. Dan was excited since he's starting it back up again and they wanted to do it too. We get there and Madison is just complaining about not wanting to do it. We say fine, just sit here and be bored. Hannah was all into it...our sweet, girly Hannah. When she punched, her bottom would wiggle, she would yell what she thought everyone else was yelling and she was the only girl there. Her friend wasn't there tonight but that didn't bother her, she had her other friend from school. The two of them were just too cute to watch. She really enjoyed it and when it was done the Dojo mentioned how next week they will play some dodge ball. Madison was all about that and an instant attitude change happened and she was all about doing karate. She also mentioned how she would learn the kicks and hits so she could beat up this certain girl. Dan and I laughed...we don't particularly like this little girl and Dan fixed it by saying she could only try her moves when she's a blue belt. Nice one Dan....our daughter is going to be on speed track trying to get her blue belt. We picked up dinner on the way home and called it a night. Dan is now at work and I'm going to now try and tackle my laundry pile since he's working all night I won't be sleeping very well....or perhaps I will just watch some TV.
