What a CrAzY day...

Well I have had quite a day and it is only 2:45pm. Let me begin by telling you a little about my morning... It started off ok, but the dog got up way earlier than normal, 6:50am which wasn't when I would have chosen to get up. I got up let him out side and went back to my room, where I couldn't sleep cause the dog decided he needed to bark, a lot!! Then the kids got up and came in to bed with mommy and wrestled around, that was a good moment! I love playing with my kiddos in bed, it's a wonderful way to start the day! Then we got up saw that there wasn't much in the house for eating and decided that we would head over to the good ol' Walmart for donuts and shopping. It all started out just fine. I got my food, the boys enjoyed their donuts. I ran into my sis-in-law Carolyn, we chatted a little bit. Then Dallin asked to go see the fish. Well actually he told me that he NEEDED to see the fish. This has become a pretty regular thing with him when we go to walmart, and I don't mind because the boys love the fish and it's pretty stink'n cute!! They run back and forth looking at all the neat colors and shapes of fish. Now if only I would have know that a fish could have brought them so much joy, I probably wouldn't have a dog right now... Anyways... After about 5 min's of fish looking, I told the boys it was time to go check out, my cart was full mind you... Dallin took off down one of the isles so I yelled at him to stop and grabbed Bryant and the cart and took off after him. When I got to the isle he had run down he was no longer there. I looked up and down all the isles in that area and there was no Dallin. I started calling his name but I got no answer. I started freaking out!!! I hurried and called Carolyn and told her that I had lost Dallin and she was coming over to help me find him. I kinda lost it on the phone with her and broke down crying. Some man saw me and asked if I had lost my son, I told him yes and he said, "OK I'm a cop, here's what you do, go tell the service desk, they'll make an announcement, what does he look like..." and so on. I gave him a good description and he told me he would look for Dallin while I went to notify Walmart. So here I am big ol' pregnant Kari, pulling Bryant in my full cart, crying. I had gotten a few isles closer to the service desk and some lady says, "Is that him?" I looked all the way down at the other end of the store and there he was, standing there by the electronics hold a toy snake. I yell at him, "Dallin come here." He shows me his snake and takes off running again. Ahhh, My heart was already pounding, now I am running across the store pulling my cart and Bryant. I thought I was going to put myself into labor. Finally I got Dallin and let him know what a bad thing he had done and buckled him in to his seat. Meanwhile my wonderful sister in law had stopped by the service desk and told them about the lost 3 year old. So over and over on the intercom all you hear is "Attention Walmart Employees, we have a code Adam, 3 yr old boy..." I head over to the service desk to tell them that I have found him, then I look at my children... they both have chocolate smeared across their faces, Bryant has snot running down his nose and I can smell something very sour! I felt like "Mother of the Year". It was a wonderful trip to Walmart!!!
Then we got hiome I unloaded the car and was going to sit down to relax a little but the boys wanted to play outside so I decided it was time to pick up some dog poop, that fish is sounding even better!!! Then I can hear the boys but they aren't outside with me. I finish the picking up of the poop and go to throw it away and there are my sweet children, sitting on the sidewalk watching our friends across the street wash their car. I'm pretty sure I locked the front door, but why in the world would I think that that would stop those wild boys??? After telling them about the dangers of the street and going out front without mommy I decided that we should wash our car too. After all my neighbor and her children were having so much fun! So I pull the car out get everything ready. Locked the front gate around our house!!! And started washing the car. After a while of hosing down the car I notice my beautiful children putting all the change in my car in the cd player. So I stop tell them about the reasons why that is bad, get the coins out, get them out of the car for a while and keep spraying. After a while of washing Bryant gets back in the car and does it again! So now I have gotten the coins out of the cd player twice, and Bryant is no longer aloud in the car. I finished the outside and started on the inside, vacuuming it out and everything and just about when I was done here come the kids and the dog, jumping in the car covered in mud. So I got them out told them that they were to not get in the car again and I vacuumed again. Finally I finished cleaning the car! I thought for a minute about my nieghbor cleaning her car and how it looked like fun and then I remembered, oh yeah her kids are practically perfect and she is a great mom! But now the boys are resting and I am getting a much needed break from all that has gone on this crazy Friday!!
