My Van is BACK!!! :)

I went this afternoon to pick it up, it was nice and shiny again, they even vacuumed the floors for me. I left Kale's crappy car there and my brother picked it up for me while he and Rosy were in KC tonight. I am super grateful they did that for me. It wasn't far out of their way, so it wasn't much of an inconvenience, but still they didn't HAVE to do it for me. But that's the way families are, well at least mine.



Now to another topic I have been pondering....Why I am my mother's b*tch.



For example: Yesterday she was carpooling to her conference in Wichita so she "asked" me to drive her to her rendezvous point. She knows I will only say no if I have something really important to do.



Today she asked me to go to Beauty Brands to get her two more bottles of Redken Soo Soft shampoo. They are having their $10.98 liter sale right now and when we went last week she didn't realize she bought three conditioners and one shampoo, which she blamed on me. Trust me it's not as bad as it sounds, I wasn't offended and I defended myself. That's just the way my mom is. So after I picked up the van I dropped by The Legends to get it for her. Cause it's soooo easy for me to get four kids into the store buy them and get out. It really wasn't that bad, I put Delilah in my new Chicco Stroller and Sophia in the new umbrella stroller, Lilly pushed Delilah and I pushed Sophia. We were in and out in under 15 minutes. When we got to the van Lilly's 3rd Grade teacher was there waiting for us. I had accidentally left the side door open and she thought it was our van and stayed until we got back. It was very nice of her to do so, even if there wasn't anything to steal. Well there is the very expensive Britax car seat, but not many people know how much they cost and probably wouldn't steal one anyways.



This is normal for me, my mom asks me to do things for her "you know, since you are home". She doesn't quite get how much work four kids really is, but she did get a little taste of what having three is like when Delilah was in the hospital for 4 days and she had to take care of the other girls 24/7 for those 4 days. But I do it without much complaint. There are two possible reasons for me to always do what she asks of me A) I am still that little girl at heart who is desperately trying to please her or B) My parents taught me well to respect them and other elders. Or it could be a combination of both. Part of me will always want to please my parents, it's just in my DNA, of course I guess I don't want to please them completely or I would finish college.



I am feeling much better now, I remembered both of my doses today. But I think PMS is lurking around so that could account for part of my mood too. Hopefully things have hit an upswing and I am done feeling sorry for myself for awhile. :)
