First Week Back

So we have made it to our first week back together, boy what a week. Last Wednesday night Stacy and I left at 9pm from Terrell and drove 5 hrs to Oklahoma City, OK to pick up Mom and the kids. My poor sweet Momma left Dallas at 7am on Wednesday morning (which means she had to check in at 6am, leave Stacy's house at 5am) She got into Albuquerque about 7am their time and waited to leave for SLC at 11:40am. Barely got on the plane to SLC and made it to pick up the kiddos at 12:40. Taylor and Colton's dad had brought them to the airport so when mom got there they did the exchange and Mom and the kids waited to catch a flight to Phoenix. Well apparently there was a bad lightning storm and all flights were delayed for hours. Mom was supposed to leave at 2:00 but ended up not leaving until 4:40 so she missed all the connecting flights from Phoenix to Dallas. She then re-routed to Oklahoma City so that Stacy and I could drive up there and get them but we did not know if she was going to make that flight or have to go to Houston until 7:40pm. Her flight landed in OKC at 10:30 but since Stacy and I did not know until then where she was actually going to be, we did not make it to OKC until 1:30am. We picked them up and turned around an drove straight back home. The kiddos and I did not make it home until 7:15am on Thursday morning. It was a LONG trip.

Needless to say, I stayed home from work but poor Taylor, she had to leave for church camp at 12:30 until Saturday. She was all hyped up and would not take a nap at all. She did ok though and ended up having a wonderful time at camp. I am so glad that she loves doing stuff like that so much. Colton stayed home with me until Sat night and then he went to spend the night with his bff Corbin. He stayed with him for 2 nights and then came home on Monday. That was such a big mistake. He was tired and cranky and ended up quitting football. I was so pissed off at him. That was $85 down the drain, cause you can't get any of your money back. But it is done and I can't stay mad at him or hold a grudge. He is just not going to get to do anything else for a while since he can't keep his commitment.

So far everyday this week I have brought the kids to work with me, well at least Kamdyn. But I hate to separate them after they have been apart for so long. So far it has gone very well but school starts in a week and a half so that will stop soon.
