Literally...A Day in the Life

48..(oh, no wait,....just 24) hours in my life:

Tuesday:

720-825 up to fix breakfast, grab K's school clothes, argue her out of bed, make sure she grabs her backpack, brushes her teeth, fix her hair, get S and L up (change S diaper) and feed them and take K to school after I put all the kids in the car.
835-940 take shower, brush my teeth, get dressed, fix my hair..get L and S dressed (change S diaper), brushed teeth and hair, gather all the library books and movies and put everyone back in the car.
10-11 Story time at the library where I chase S around (while trying to chat with the other story time ladies) while L listens to the books and then help L with her craft before we head back to the car.
11-1 make lunch, eat lunch, change S diaper, try to fit in a show or a moment in my chair to myself...
1-310 park with playgroup where I spend this Tuesday running back and forth to the car because I forgot my knitting pattern, then S's shoes (change her diaper), then L was thirsty, then I was looking for sweaters, etc.
330- pick up K
340-415 hustle everyone in the house, get L's dance clothes on her with her backpack packed with her dance shoes and 'street' clothes, get K's cheerleading shoes and practice clothes on her, get S a snack (change her diaper) and fill up her water cup (again), grab water bottles and snacks for everyone and throw them all back in the car ...oh, and grab my knitting
430-510 L's dance class where K plays the Nintendo DS, I watch S run around and do some knitting while chatting with whoever
530-7 K's cheerleading class (an hour and a half!) where I chase S around (spank her finally to get my point across), feed her some more snacks (change her diaper), knit some more and Fb on my phone.
7 call in and pick up pasta or pizza at Pizza Hut
730 Home to eat pizza, bath the kids, feed them some dessert because they were good for me and..
830 all kids in bed....AAAAHHHHHHH...
830-11 A MOMENT OF PEACE. I CAN WATCH SOME OF MY DVR'D SHOWS, KNIT, READ THE BOOK SERIES I'M WORKING ON, ORDER G.S. UNIFORMS, VISIT WITH MY HUBBY, TAKE A SHOWER..and to bed to do it all over again at 7 am in the morning.

Oh, I'm too tired to tell you about the next 24 hours, lol. Seriously, that's just a 24 hour period in my busy life. I LOVE IT!! That IS my busiest day though but I wouldn't change a thing. We're happy, healthy and mostly just jubilant about being here. Well, I know I am...

My Old Love...My First Love..

So I bought two books tonight...it's been too long. I do SO love to read and it seems lately with LIFE getting in the way I've had little time for my long lost love ....my fav pastime, reading. I sat on the aisle at Kmart and thought long and hard about my book selection. Since I haven't done it in so long I don't want to waste my time with drivel. I almost selected "Tuesdays with Morrie". I know I'm a little late on this gravy train. I guess I've resisted reading it because EVERYONE was. I try so hard to make up my own mind, live my life according to my rules...and defy the general public that sometimes (out of stubbornness mostly) I rebel against something (like reading a novel that everyone is raving about) when if I'd care more about making up my own mind instead of just being stubborn I might actually like it. I regress. So there I stood in the aisle and I read a couple of pages of "Tuesdays with Morrie" and was spellbound. I didn't want to put it down even to buy it but I closed it and found a couple of other books that sounded good "Water for Elephants" and "Sarah's Key" and ultimately I put "Tuesdays with Morrie" down and selected the other two. I WILL read it though...the next chance I get. Who knows when that will be?! Well, if the weather stays as rainy and dreary as this weekend has been I shall have lots of time for staying inside and reading.

The girls have dance class tomorrow...for the month of June so far anyways. I'm going to look into getting them with a different dance studio because this one is SO expensive. I've had two in town recommended to me. But they are excited, so of course, so am I.
