"We're getting the band back together"

I hope you got the Blues Brothers reference, one of my favorite movies from when I was a kid--thanks Dad. It was the TV edited version, calm down people.

I think we have a real future here. Maybe make a little cash on the side?
Can I whine a little bit? I hate to complain, but....
Today I got to go to church alone again and Brooks screamed his head off in nursery which stresses me out. I don't think it would bother me except this one woman who won't leave her daughter in there when B is screaming and makes an effort to let me know that it is my fault she is leading the music in primary with her daughter in her arms. She seriously makes comments and shoots me the meanest looks. I usually am not hurt by this sort of thing, but I think the fact that I really miss my Hartford Primary and the comfort of having lots of church friends in CT (I really don't know anyone here yet) makes it worse. I almost cried today and really I usually don't let people get to me, she honestly SCARES me. Creepy. Woe is me. Anyway, I am over it now that I wrote that because I know you are all on my side. RIGHT?!?!!??!!?? I do love being in Primary though, I really feel at home in there and I love my crazy class. IT'S 2 HOURS a WEEK people, I can handle that. PLUSSSSSSSSSSSS here's the good news, the Relief Society pres. called me this week because her 1 year old daughter found my scriptures this week at the church. I left them there the first week I was here and I have been so devastated about it-they are they cute little ones that aren't all together, a Bible and a triple comb. that are 2 separate books. I left them in the RS room and they ended up somewhere else. Maybe someone's conscience got to them about having STOLEN scriptures. I feel like I have an old friend back.
Today I found about 10 lovely red, green and blue "X"es on my walls. Aiden has never done this kind of thing before--she has never written on the wall at all, cut her own hair, eaten paste, etc.-- but today she was also eating paper. What's up? I know Brooks can't make an X, so she was totally busted. Mr. Clean magic eraser got rid of it, love the stuff, and Adi learned to never ever write on the walls. Even if Caillou does. I already had a thing against Caillou, this was the last straw.
Anyway, Lewis got home today at noon from his Sat. shift, he should have been done by 7am. I guess the hot hot weather makes people more irritable and irrational. I think there were at least 3 motorcycle accidents last night alone. He is running on an hour and a half of sleep and doing great. I honestly don't know how he does it, I need at least 8 hours to be functional. It has been great having him home today though, the kids are loving it and climbing all over him.
A starts preschool this week and I am so excited to have a little more of a schedule! I know that she will be happier too when she makes some new friends. She keeps telling me that she is ready to move back to CT. I hope we can go and visit sometime soon. Hope you are all having a great Sunday too!!!
