What A Blessing!!!!

The time has came and went to have our 7Th child blessed his name will be forever
MOHEKONOKONO LATU NAULU

Let me give a run down on this special day of his.

We went shopping with all nine of us, to the grocery store, to Sam's Club, to Shopko, and went to a "eat" for a graduation. When we had gotten home It was about 10, and then took groceries in, carried 5 out of the 7 children to their beds. I got a big hair up you know where and decided to put highlights in my hair for the big day. ( a note, I don't let anyone touch my hair since my last 2 traumatic episodes of salon disasters. The first was a horrible color job, and the second was like a 3rd grader cut it, and so I went to another to fix it, and ended up with a boy short cut..) So I have been letting my hair grow out, since Last August, haven't touched it, not a cut, not anything. So anywho, finally finished my hair about 2 in the morning, because I bought a highlighter that I had to pull my hair through a cap, and it was all fine and dandy until I got to the back section of my hair. Let me ask, who the crap designed this, you even with a mirror, you have to be like Houdini, to get that done in the back, so I had to wake up Maka to help finish it.

So baby wasn't feeling well and woke up about 3 times that night, and on the 4Th time it was time to get up,(for me anyways). Decided that I was going to attempt to style this mop that I have, and It took about and hour, not cuz I am a perfectionist, cuz baby kept crying, then at that point realized that he must be sick. I then made breakfast, gave baths, did hair, ironed clothes, did hair, nursed, baby still crying, bathe the baby, feed baby, did more hair, prepared the diaper bags, and nursery bag.(Yes, I am the Nursery Leader.)

It was about 11am when baby finally dosed off and I threw him in the car seat hoping he would stay asleep, made lunch, got dressed, re-did my hair, put on make up, and we cruised out the door, Wait stop!!! Nobody put on lotion, get back out of the car, put on lotion, and then finally off to church.

Kono was blessed with another baby, and so the room was filled. I am thankful for my husband who was worthy to give my son a wonderful blessing. Kono stayed asleep until they called for him, took him out of the car seat, and as soon as his blessing was over, started screaming again.

In nursery class, my other son was hitting all the kids, he is a monster, and we have created him, that is what I am afraid of. All the parents and helpers in their think we beat our child. He defiantly is a Tongan and a boy.. What a great combination. Kono was screaming for the whole nursery, all the kids were crying because of Elaiasi, so finally I couldn't take it anymore, I had to kick my own son out of the class for the day.

When church was over Kono continued to fuss and cry for the rest of the day until about 12 midnight, then finally went to sleep.. I was so thankful for that day to be over!!!!

Don't get me wrong, out of this horrible day came such a wonderful blessing, I think Satan tries very hard to make our lives very difficult before a temple marriage, blessing, or baptism,( or maybe it's cuz I have a not so normal family.) I am thankful for my husband, and his commitment to this church, he said the most awesome blessing, and their was not a dry eye in the crowd. And I am also thankful for the patience that I have to bear all of this kayos in my household. I never said I can handle it, just that I have enough patience not to strangle them all.. I also want to thank everyone who could come out, and I truly missed my side out here, but I know times are hard for you all and hope we can reunite again soon.

There wasn't much photo op with everything going on, and besides someone, -not saying any names-, forgot the camera, the only ones we got of Kono, was when he was fussing and crying, so there not great, but I did manage to get a photo of Kono's Tongan scowl. That in it self, is priceless.. And I decided to put this photo of me and Kono, so that everyone can see how fat I am so I will want to do something about this sad situation. So please do me a favor and tell me that you love my double chin, so I will take my face out of the fridge.. Thanks
