I tell ya it's never dull around here.
We attended Kyleigh and Emma's YW's "New Beginnings" last night and had only been home a short while when Emma realized she didn't have her retainer.
{Oh, no...not again}
You should have seen the angst in her face when she realized she must have thrown it accidentally away with her dessert plate.
Did I mention it's her new retainer? of one week!
{Lord help me}
I managed to remain calm {kudos to me}
and sent Dad and her, in the dark of night, dumpster diving over at the church.
They retrieved the two big bags of garbage accumulated from the evening's activity and
layed it out on newspapers in the backyard.
Then Emma began the daunting task of searching for a little clear plastic mold in a mound of muck, but not before a couple of prayers were sent heavenward.
Hannah was kind enough to go out with her to be the "support staff" while the rest of the household was desperately trying to watch the biggest basketball game in BYU history.
They predicted the 8:15 p.m. tip off between the #9 Cougars (19-1) against the #4 San Diego State Aztecs (20-0) would easily be the most-watched, most-followed regular-season college basketball game, from a national perspective, in state history.
Mostly because of this guy....Jimmer Fredette.
He's basically A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! I believe I'd rename my son Jimmer. {if I had a son}
No less than 24 NBA scouts were in attendance along with scribes from Sports Illustrated and ESPN.com as well as a sell out crowd of almost 23, 000 to see Jimmer score 43 points in a wild win for BYU. That wasn't the only reason I was doing the happy dance.
Emma found her retainer! Halla-freak'in-lujah! Our prayers were answered. The church is true!
In other random going ons....
We are getting a new roof...and after three days of thunderous pounding, scraping and overall noise of multiple men with tools overhead... producing tarp after tarp of roof rubbish, I'm looking forward to a little piece and quiet.
And my car parked back in the garage.
And could I pretty please ask for no more play dates with #2 problems.
Just as I was needing to get out the door for a hair appointment this afternoon Brie's little girlfriend finds herself in the bathroom, in tears, with poop issues..in her pants, so she said.
Are you kidding me? {what timing}
AND she tells me she isn't wearing any underwear for the day. Say WHAT?
She says they bug her.
Which I get. sort of.
Underwear at this establishment is mandatory unless you are bathing or in dance costume...
So needless to say, I was a little taken back.
As calmly and kindly a manner as I could muster I quickly remedied the situation.
But seriously, I think I deal with enough poo and pee issues in this house without having to deal with one more!
