1 year Anniversary and nonsense.....Kids gone wild!

Today is the one year anniversary of my Grandfather's death. There has been so much going on lately with family squabbles and ridiculousness that this anniversary has taken an unexpected toll on me. I was aware the day was coming, but had really pushed it out of my mind until this morning when it hit me like a ton of bricks. Pray for my understanding of the "nonsense" going on with the family and that he can be at peace.

On a lighter note.
I took the kids to Chik-fil-A last night because William had a meeting to go to.... We ate inside because it was windy and then went outside to play. Shortly there after, Rainey wet her pants... she has been doing really well, but accidents still happen when she get preoccupied. So, I tell them it is time to leave. The twins come down and get there shoes on...we are ready, except for Rainey. She refuses to come down. So, for the next 15 minutes, I stand at the bottom trying to convince her to come down. I was really about to lose it! I send Clara Grace up to get her and she tries her best. In the process she pulled Rainey's hair, which normally she would get in trouble for, but in this circumstance got Rainey to come down the slide ( to tell on Clara Grace for pulling her hair). What an afternoon. Rather that spankings ( because I was still very angry)... we went straight home, took a bath, and they were put to bed at 6PM. John and Clara Grace also managed to get in trouble during Rainey's little rebellion. Clara Grace had a kiddie cone and I was trying to throw it away because it was melting. She squeezed it as hard as she could and it went all over the ground! Then John got mad because we traded the toy for an ice cream. Now, this is after he had eaten the ice cream....so he threw a toy at me in the car. WOW! This is the day that every mother dreads. To top it off, Rainey refused to stay in the bed. I had to pick her up and put her back in her bed 17 times... not kidding.. I counted!
Rant is over!
I am so excited we are going to see Wilco tomorrow night! No Meals of Mercy, No kids.... No church responsibilities! Yipee!
And one more prayer request. I am taking Rainey to the dentist in the morning for the first time. As our most dramatic child, I am sure it will be interesting!
