This is from yesterday.  We had no wi-fi signal all day long.  Welcome to UK internet sevice!

 

 

Well, today proves that I made the right choice for the name of my blog. Crazy/Happy Chaos.  That definitely describes my day.

 For the last few days, Little Man and I have been under the weather.  I have had the most sore and raw throat that I have had in many, many years.  We had a lot to do to, and the only thing I wanted to do was sleep.  So, the hubs took the kids, let me sleep all day, and got everything done.  Yeah, right.

 We got ready, and stepped outside to the coldest, frostiest day that we’ve had since arriving.  It was really beautiful.  And really freakin’ cold.  Frost covered bushes lined the roads, and in some parts we had a canopy of icy tree limbs over us.  What was really pretty (creepy?) was the spider webs.  You could see TONS of dew covered spider webs that had frosted over.  They were everywhere; all over hedges, on cars, and all around doorways and windows.  Great.  I knew they were there, but now I can actually SEE where they are. Were. I hate spiders.

 Errands, errands and more errands.  Half of which the kids and I could have stayed at home for.  Don’t you just love hindsight? Maybe actually planning our day would have helped.  Maybe?

 Paperwork, grocery shopping, extending the rental car, retrieving lost clothing, a very cranky Little Man with a possible ear infection (some fluid build up, but no infection), many phone calls, a visit to the ATM, a visit to the ER (in and out in 20 minutes!), 3 trips to the same base in one day…….crazy chaos.  With a happy ending.

 

 

 

 

Folks, we have a car!!  No more rental car.

 

And Miss Priss was so sweet today.  She made the beds and cleared the living room floor of all toys and little bits of paper; all because she said she felt like being the best helper she could be today.  She was so good and so sweet that I told her she could have a treat.  What did she want? A piece of gum.  And then later, while the chaos was still in full swing, I gave her another treat: half of a chocolate-chocolate chip muffin that I bought so that I could stress-eat it when we finally got home.  I love her that much.

 

She used the "selfie" feature on my new phone. It's a good thing she's cute!
