What a crazy day!

I had the craziest, super busy day today! I started out trying to get awards for my cub scouts, what a joke! I use to be able to just go to the scout office and pick up any awards that I needed, but now you have to go online and fill in all these forms and it is a big frickin mess. Most of the time the scout office computer is down and then it takes hours to do one simple award. Well today I had eleven awards to get, all going to different boys so I was on the computer forever!! I'm not kidding it took me over three hours to fill out these stupid forms, that should have only taken me five minutes, but their computer wasn't working! Pack meeting is tomorrow, so I had to get it done today. After I finally got the computer things figured out, I headed to Idaho Falls to pick up the awards. Well it turns out their computers were really screwed up today and they hadn't received my forms!! So I had to do it all over again at the scout office. An hour and a half later I left with the awards I needed, needless to say I was a bit frustrated! I had a lot of other things to do for pack meeting, which took up the better part of my day. I finally get home and have to rush to get the kids ready for baseball. That's right I said "the kids," Evan and Isabel have started baseball now. Evan had practice at 5:30 to 6:30, then Isabel had practice from 7:00 to 8:00 and then Bennett had a game at 6:30. I was so bent out of shape from the whole cub scout mess, and in a rush to get the kids where they needed to be, throwing them in the car while they are all screaming at each other, the next thing I know, I hear this big crunch! As I was pulling out of the garage, I failed to notice that Jason had parked his pick up behind me and slammed into it! Now on my defense, he never parks there. We have this huge yard and driveway and he picks right behind me to park. I am saying all this to point the finger at someone other than me, but the truth is it was all my fault! All I had to do was look in my rear view mirror and I would have seen this giant truck behind me. UGGGG! What a day I am having! So after having a few words with Jason, and shedding more then a few tears, I finally got Evan to his baseball practice. Oh, but that's not all, while Evan was practicing I let Isabel and Will play on the play ground next to the field. After practice I'm grabbing them all, and rushing to get them in the car to get to Isabel's practice, and I notice Isabel's pants are wet. She has had a potty accident because she couldn't find a bathroom! So we have to hurry and drive home so she can change and get to practice on time. I drop her off at practice and rush to Bennett's game. While I was watching him play, I notice Will has wet pants. Yes, that's right, another potty accident! So after only getting to watch about 15 minutes of Bennett's game, I have to take Will home to change. By the time we got home and I got Will changed, it was time to pick up Isabel. Bennett's game ends at eight, so we just headed home yet again. On the way home, out of the corner of my eye, I see what I think at first is a huge horse. I slow down and get a better look, no not a horse, but a moose, out in our neighbor's field! I was pretty excited about this, because it is not to often that we see a moose around here. So I grabbed my camera and got out of the car. I was trying to get as close as possible to get a good picture and got as close as I could, while feeling safe. I was looking through my camera, trying to get it to focus on the moose. When I finally got it to focus, the moose was gone. I looked up from my camera, to see where it had gone, and found it charging at me! I took off running as fast as I could back to the car and just about had an accident in my pants! The moose stopped and snorted only about 15 yards away from me! Oh that was a little to close for me, but I was able to get a few good shots on my camera from inside the car! After finally getting home and the kids to bed, whew, I'm so tired! What a crazy day. I hope tomorrow goes a little better.

Here is my poor van, I guess it could have been worse, but still. I want to cry (again) just looking at it! Jason's pick up is fine, not even a scratch.

This is the female moose that almost killed me. (o.k., so maybe it wasn't quite that dramatic, but still really scary!)
