Holy Crap.

FRIDAY
I went to work.
I went to the dome
I skated 8 miles.
I went to my sisters
I met up with my other sister her three girls and two extra girls for M's birthday party.
I ate.
I watched presents being opened.
I had icecream.
I watched a movie.
I pleaded with a hamster to stop running in the noisy wheel.
I thankfully, eventually fell asleep.

SATURDAY
I got up at 7:47 am which I knew only because the batman clock in my nephews room projected it on the ceiling.
I took a shower.
I ate.
I asked the kids to eat.
I sat around.
I asked the kids to get their shoes on.
I sat around.
I highly suggested that six kids get their shoes on.
I waited.
I got up and got all my stuff ready to go.
I asked the sisters when we were going to the mall.
I put on my shoes and coat and told the kids to get their shoes on.
I waited.
I got hot.
I loaded the truck.
I loaded the kids.
The parents followed.
We went to Underwater world.
We pet stingray and baby sharks.
We went to Krispie Kreme Doughnuts in the mall. (did you know that they don't actually make the doughnuts there anymore?... lame.)
We ate.
We went back to Underwater world.
We watched some live turtle animal show.
We yelled at kids.
We went to the cars and got our coats and snacks.
We went on the light rail downtown. (with 6 kids and 3 adults mind you.)We went to Nicolette mall.
We walked through the mall.
We went to Marshall Fields "Cinderella" Holiday display.
We waited in line for nearly and hour. (with 6 bored and very hungry kids which they proceeded to tell us about every 3.2 seconds)
We saw the Cinderella display. (I'm not sure it was worth the wait with all the kids but I guess I don't get it.)
We saw the Cinderella store.
We yelled at kids.
We smelt gingerbread cookies that made us even more hungry.
We walked around downtown. (with 6 hungry kids)
We looked for food.
We ate. (Thank God)
We realized we had 3 hours to wait until the Holidazzle parade started. (with 6 easily bored kids)
We found a good spot in the skyway's to honker down for the parade. (people were camped out 3 hours early)
We yelled at kids.
We honkered to keep our spot playing every game we could think of to keep them busy. (I learned every kinda of song that they knew. Did you know that 6 kids screaming echoes 1,000,000 decibels louder in a skyway?)
We watched the parade.
We caught the train back to the Mall of America.
The kids wanted to see underwater world again (all day passes)so they went their way and I went mine.
I left to go to a Christmas party.
I got lost leaving the Mall after one wrong turn. (it's possible that it was from the lack of mind throbbing noise that was no longer present trying to make my ear's bleed)
I found where I was.
I went to the party.
I 'partied'.
I left and went home.
I unloaded my truck.
I took a shower to erase the smoke.
I fell into bed and don't even remembering hitting the pillow...

SUNDAY
Huh?
