It was Thursday....
7:30 am: Bring 3 oldest girls to Drama Troupe
8:00: Took an hour break and did nothing, whoo hoo!
9:00: Received a phone call from the clinic. Apparently Sierra's random stomach aches (she was down for a week and we went in on Monday) are because she has E.Coli!!! I'll have to watch her but the strong antibiotic they gave her should take care of it. I was so thankful that we discovered it or it could have been very serious. I didn't even know they were testing for that. We had been told on Monday the pain was something she'd have to live with and grow out of. Praise God they discovered what it really was!!!!
9:30: Went for a 3 mile run. Ahhh....
11:15: Jaden came home from TK.
11:30: Picked up Sierra's prescription
12:00 pm: Took Jaden to dance
12:15: Dropped off Sierra's prescription and talked with the nurse.
1:15: Picked up Jaden from dance. Picked up lunch from Taco Johns and Jaden and I ate in the park!
2:00: Got groceries. It's bad at our house when we're even out of peanut butter.
3:15: Kids got home from school, helped Sierra and Svanna pack for their huge field trip the next day.
3:25: Quick grocery run for a must-have forgotten item for the field trip.
3:40: Dump muffin mixes Sierra and Svanna were making for breakfast on the bus...the box recipe said "just add milk." While I was at the store they couldn't find how much on the box so they "just added milk."
3:50: Went to Shianne's home volleyball game
4:30: Left game early to pick up Sierra and Svanna from home and take them to work at their field trip Pancake Supper Fundraiser
4:50: Picked up Shianne from Volleyball
5:20: Took kids to eat at the Pancake Supper
6:10: Ran home to change for Taekwando
6:30: Taekwando for Sierra, Tye, Gabe and Summer
7:00: Called in a favor to a friend who works at the school to unlock it--so Shi could get her homework she forgot after the game. It's good to know people in high places.
7:45: Picked up kids from Taekwondo
8:00: Got some kids ready for bed, studied with others who still had homework
9:30: Everyone was in bed!
9:35: The house looked like a tornado ran through it!! (A friend of mine would describe it as an F7. Get it? SEVEN?) I had friends I was hiring (they have a cleaning business) to come over and help me clean the next day cuz I'd been overwhelmed lately. But they couldn't clean anything if they couldn't get to it!!! And laundry needed doing for the school shirts Sierra and Svanna needed for their field trip (they had also worn them the day before) and I had to make baked goods for breakfast to replace that watery muffin mix (that one of the kids threw down the bathroom sink???).
11:00: Brandy called, he's finally on his way home from work (it's harvest). "Whatcha doin?" he asks. I respond, "cleaning, laundry and baking." "Shouldn't you have done that during the day?" he asks in a kind way. Yep, that would have been nice.
11:15: Chat with my long lost hubby. Ahhhh....
12:00 am: (technically Friday): Go to bed
1:00: Finally fall asleep!
4:00: Get girls up!
4:30: Take them to school for their wonderful fabulous field trip!
So, Thursday was a bit more of an extreme example of my life as of late, but that may explain why my blogging posts have been down! On top of the craziness Brandy is working morning till night. I have such an appreciation for single Moms or those with husbands overseas!! But harvest will pass. And I will breathe a sigh of relief.
Hallelujah Brandy doesn't work Sundays. Tomorrow we're taking him out for lunch for his birthday. Should be a wonderful day. A little worship, a little celebration, a LOT of relaxation. Yeah!
