Father’s day weekend and busy start to the week!

Jarrod has had to work late/nights so much lately! He had to work Friday (his normal day off) and Friday night (he went in about 8pm and got home around 6am). So since it can be impossible difficult to keep Stratton quiet, my mom took him home with her Friday night so Jarrod could get a few hours of sleep when he got home Saturday morning. He slept till about noon then mowed the yard and then we got ready and headed to HR.  We had father’s day for my Papa (the Gibson side of the family) Saturday evening at my nanny and papa’s house then we just stayed the night with my mom and dad since we were having Father’s Day for my grandpa and the Wilson’s Sunday at lunch. We had a good time with the Wilson’s. My uncle Doug had received a ladder ball game for Father’s day from Logan and Riley (2 of his grand-daughter) and we played it for quite a while and it was pretty fun! I wasn’t very good, but I didn’t completely stink!

We stayed at my grandpa and grandma’s house all afternoon and ran back to my mom and dad’s house just in time to change clothes (Stratton had to have a bath after playing with Riley outside) and get on the road home. We made it back to Jonesboro right on time, but the kids both fell asleep on the way (since they hadn’t had a nap) and they were both cranky when they woke up. We have VBS this week and it started Sunday night, and Stratton didn’t want to go sit with his class so I know he was tired!

After church we ran to Firehouse to get a sandwich (per Stratton’s request) and soon after we got home Jarrod checked his work phone only to find out that they had been trying to get ahold of him and he needed to go back to work. He helped me get the kids to bed and then he left about 9pm. They worked all night and he didn’t get home till about noon on Monday! He had planned to go home and rest, but his truck started messing up so he had to take it to see what was wrong. We still aren’t sure but it doesn’t sound good. So he got about an hour of sleep before I got home with the kids from school yesterday evening. Then it was rush, rush, to get them fed, bathed, clothed and to church by 6:30! We got home last night and got the kids to bed and then he crashed!

I know the kids love VBS, but it is such a struggle! I am glad it’s only 4 nights and not all week! I will try and get some pictures tonight, it looks so great and the kids are having such a good time!

I hope the rest of the week is calm and Jarrod doesn’t have to work late anymore. We haven’t even had a chance to give Jarrod his Father’s day cards and present yet! Maybe tonight!
