Busy week

By Monday we knew it was going to be a busy week. I had my late night on Monday, which isn't THAT big of a deal but I don't get home until 6:30-6:45 so the night with the girls is basically over and bedtime routine is starting.
Monday night we had to get some wrapping done, we hadn't done anything....didn't really know what we had, what we didn't, what we needed. Took us an hour together, getting it all done. Perfect.
Tuesday Steve had a half day for work so he was able to get some additional shopping done and once the girls went to bed we he had to work on putting together their big present. Hour and a half later, he was done.
Tuesday was a irritating day for me in general, with work, with people and then once Steve picked up Presley from school I was irritated even more for 2 reasons.....1) For some reason they had her down as being picked up by a parent after school....and not going to KTC, which she has NEVER done. So she stood outside with a teacher waiting for one of us to pick her up....well we never did since that was NEVER the plan. Somehow they realized that she would go to KTC and went on her normal early-out afternoon....but why didn't they call one of us?
2) She told me they had a Winter Party, I didn't think twice about it. Until she said that some parents had come to watch them sing....what? Was this something that we could attend? Why didn't we know ANYTHING about it? Did these parents just drop in and invite themselves to watch? Were we supposed to be there to watch? I don't know!

Wednesday......Christmas Eve, we both had to work which I don't normally find to be that big of a deal. So Presley spent the day at Grandmas and Piper went to Generation. Steve got off a little early, but had to run some grocery shopping errands and by the time he was done with that and work, I was lucky enough to cut out of work at about 3:15 to pick them up anyway.
Now.....as I said, working this day doesn't seem like that big of a deal to me...until my kids are the ones in daycare while others aresleeping in at home....and until other people I work with took this day off to do nothing. If they were with their kids or family, that is one thing...but just to take the day off and not have plans....that is irritating to me! So Piper was one of the very last kids picked up from Generation at 4 pm (they were closing at 5 anyway) so that made me feel bad too. UGH. So next year, this mama is fighting for some more time off during the holidays!
