Monday Funday????

Anna had an early dentist appointment and had to be given laughing gas. I felt prepared because James had to get some teeth pulled and I was scared but I didn't think it was a big deal now. After about 15min, Anna had the entire office rolling. James would just stare at the TV and occasionally talk. I told them that any medication has different results for Anna, and laughing gas is no exception. Oh if I only had my video camera! Anna couldn't go to school that day so I spent the day catering to Anna's every need.

We told the kids we would go see Santa that night but it was already 2pm and I hadn't even showered. I took a quick shower, helped with homework, taught voice lessons, got everyone ready then waited for Jared.

We decided to go to Supersition Springs Mall because we thought it wouldn't be as crowded. As we were looking for a parking spot a lot of big trucks would purposely park in 2 spots oh how I hate that. I pass one parking spot and Jared said you can fit in that... So I reverse and then pull into the narrow spot. I wasn't even half way in when I hear scratching. Not the scratching of kids fighting, not the scratching of Jareds nails on my back, the scratching of two metal pieces rubbing together. Yep Merry Christmas to me!! I reversed again, parked in a far spot and Jared asked if I had a pen. We couldn't find any paper in our dirty car but what do you know, we have a dirty paper plate so we wrote a letter on that.




We had to wait in line for a little over an hour for Santa. (Really I should say Jared and the kids waited, I went shopping!! ) I came back when they were close and Emmy was so funny. She said she couldn't wait to tell Santa she wanted a purple bike! We had our 30 seconds with a rather skinny Santa and the kids (and Jared) were starving.


We were eating dinner and the kids wanted a dipped cone at DQ. I said they had to eat a mushroom if they wanted ice cream. Jared is the only one that likes them so he told me I had to eat one too! Anna tried first and completely barfed all of her dinner on her plate. I was laughing so hard but the people sitting next to us were grossed out. I told James whoever ate theirs first (him or me) got their ice cream dipped. Oh, the face was priceless. He said he was just going to pretend he was on Fear Factor and go for it. I tried so hard to beat him. I gagged twice and couldn't do it. James finished his so I spit mine out. Needless to say we all earned our ice cream even if Jared said I only deserved a kiddy cone! I was getting the kids ready for bed and I was changing into comfy clothes when Jared yells Tricia come here. I ran down in virtually nothing and luckily Jared stoped me at the stairs and said that people were here! WHEW! Our neighbors Kenny and Melody (gingerbread house winners) were bringing us a plate of goodies. We sat and talked awhile. Then of course we had to go sing some Karaoke at his house. He has a really awesome Karaoke set up and I love going.

What a Monday!
