The kids woke me up early.  Russ was still home…so thankfully I had time to throw a pork stew together.  Carrots, pork, mushrooms, dry onion soup, onions, potatoes and cream of mushroom soup.  I made sure to set it and got out of the house to get my kids to the babysitter.

Well, at least I had a couple granola bars before my day just started out terrible.  I am sitting at work and I get a 1-800 number calling me.  Of course I am working and can’t answer.  Then Russ calls me about ten minutes later and leaves a voicemail.  I listen to it between exercises I am playing and he is upset that my bank has called him.  I couldn’t figure out why my bank would be calling me.  So I actually get out my bank card and between exercise I call the number on the back.  I knew that there should be a couple hundred in my account and there was a negative balance.  I was freaking out.  Sure enough if I had just checked my email I would have seen the notices.  My card had been compromised.  Ugh.  I hadn’t even used my card since April and couldn’t remember the last time I used it before that.  I almost burst into tears right in the bank.  A written dispute and 10 business days and I should get my money back.  So, there went the cash for our trip this weekend. 

After spending a few hours at Abby’s house sewing, I came home and tried the stew.  Um, I labeled the kid of meat wrong…it was beef.  When it isn’t what you are expecting it was a little rough for a moment, but everyone loved it and there are leftovers for tomorrow.

Then we were up half the night doing laundry, getting a book put on our IPod and packing to head to California this weekend.  Yep, up until 2am, up again with Remington at 4am, and then getting up and getting out the house at 7am.  Great night.  Super tired mommy, but that is just how it goes sometimes.
