This morning I had to go to the Podiatrist at 9:15. I woke up to my alarm clock saying 9:13. It's 23 minutes fast so I had time to make the appointment, but had literally 4 minutes to get all three of us ready. I raced into the bathroom and did a few things then remembered I had no idea what the temperature was supposed to be, so I quickly peeked on weather.com. As I was waiting for the page to load, I glanced at the little clock on the computer to see if I was down to 2 minutes (a minute for each kid!). That clock said 6:41...huh? I had wondered why it was so dark, but thought that it was just going to rain. I figured there was something messed up with the computer clock, but when the hour-by-hour weather loaded it started with the 6:00 hour. Keep in mind I am totally dressed at this point...just then Colin calls from downstairs "Kids, why are you up?" Now I KNOW it's 6:45...if it were 9:00 Colin would be at school. Turns out when Colin was resetting the alarm for me, he actually reset the time. Nice, real nice. So...the Mulder family was up at 6:41 today...lovely.
I went to the Podiatrist because of severe pain in my heel for the past few weeks. It's so painful, especially in the morning when I get out of bed...I can hardly put weight on it. My doctor told me it's Plantar Fasciitis. He gave me a shot of cortizone right in the painful part...yeah, that hurt like hell. Now it's all taped and I have to wear shoes and my inserts all the time. Lovely. Here's a nice picture...and yes, it's my left foot, not the right foot that I had surgery on in November.

On Monday, May 12 I am having a PETUNIAS OPEN HOUSE. There is a copy of the invitation below. I did block out the location (my parent's house) because they probably don't want their address posted for the world to see! If you are interested (Amanda,Selena, Becky, Sarah and everyone else!) leave a comment and I'll give you the address. It's an open house, so you can come whenever and stay however long. No pressure to buy anything at all. If you do want to buy anything she has stuff priced from $3 up...so something for everyone! I only buy Petunias products for baby gifts and birthday gifts now!
Kelly will also have a Petunias booth at the arts and crafts fair this weekend in Holland. It runs tomorrow and Sunday. I'll be there on Sunday afternoon helping, so if you want to check out her adorable stuff...come stop by!

My kids have been tough lately...really tough. It's been hard and I feel as though I have failed them as a mother, but succeeded in being a screamer. Real nice. I enjoy reading two blogs from two women who are extremely inspirational to me. They have both endured serious tragedies in their lives and have put all trust in God. They are both amazing women who write beautifully. Check them out here...Jody's Nitty Gritty blog can be found HERE. You can read their story HERE. The blog for Audrey Caroline is HERE. Her dad sings for the group Selah...her mom is an amazing writer. Their pain is extremely fresh. You will probably cry reading these. When I'm having a bad day I will read (or re-read) something from them...their positive outlook is amazing, even amidst their tragedies.
-----------------------------------------------
I'm working all weekend and Sunday is the busiest day of all...so I'll catch up next week. Have a good one...now time for my nap!

Wow- I would LOVE to see the Petunia stuff- I have BSF on Monday night so couldn't come to that, but will try to check them out at the arts and crafts booth this weekend. Thanks for the info!!!! Sorry about your foot too- hope it heals soon! And I had to crack up at your getting up at 6:41 thinking it was later- Sadie changes my clock all the time, so that has happened to me too.
Bummer about your foot girl, and about being up that early on accident! Great blogs - I think the one is her husband is the singer in Selah though - not dad. You are so not a horrible mother girl - you ROCK! We all yell at our kids - it's a reality - it does NOT mean we are failures!
that stinks getting up so early, but if I slept in until 9 my first thought would be, "Where in the world are my kids????" Since they are up at 7..
