What a Week

This week has been long and crazy, and I am glad it is almost over!

Monday started out with a suicidal man ending up shot off an overpass by the freeway causing it to be completely shut down. A main freeway being closed in Monday morning rush hour traffic in Phoenix means complete and total gridlock. Nobody is going anywhere anytime soon. My poor baby was stuck for three and half hours in this mess.

Wednesday, my day off, started out at the DES office trying to get my kid's insurance straightened out. Royal.Pain.In.My.Ass. There was another persons entire file accidentally scanned into mine. I am talking birth certificates, attestation of citizenship, proof of residence- the whole nine yards. Makes me completely confident in our government by the way! Bye-bye three hours of my day. Grocery shopping equals Bye-Bye to another 2 hours, and before you know it, it's 7:00! Made dinner, cleaned up, collapsed on my bed waiting for the kid's movie to finish and to get them tucked into bed.

They came running into my room when it was over, jumped onto my bed and were playing until about 9:15. I went to get their pj's, and smelled a weird chemical smell as soon as I stepped into the hall. As soon as I said." What's that smell? It smells like something is burning." I heard Ernesto yell, "oh shit!" Let me just say- if you leave a pan on the stove boiling to sterilize some plastic sippy cup lids and forget about it? This will be a very long evening for you! Before we even made it down the hall, the fire alarms started blaring. I ran the kids outside while Ernesto got the flaming disaster put out, and opened the doors and started fans going to air out the house. Turns out, when plastic catches on fire it releases chemicals that are not good for you, and Poison Control advises you remain outside your residence for at least 2 hours. I ended up sending my kids home with my wonderful Mother, and then Ernesto and I went and saw Your Highness while we were waiting to be able to crawl into our bed!

Needless to say too many early mornings and late nights have made a very tired me. The kids are spending the night with their Yia-Yia, and I am so thankful I get to sleep in tomorrow! 

Make it a great Friday everyone!
