7 am. Wake up to shouting. Solve the problem among four kids with an easy compromise, but it was difficult because I still didn't have my cup of coffee. 7:15 Finally get coffee. Shower and get ready for the day. Breakfast. Yesterday's dirty dishes. Start dishwasher. Clean counters. Sweep floor. Get kids ready for church. Brush and style hair. 8:55 out the door for church. Get the kids to Sunday School. Another rambunctious adventure, and the leaders weren't ready for us. 9:15 Worship. Wonderful break, finally. 10:30 Get kids from Sunday School. Donut craze in fellowship hall. The wild behavior continues. Played games all day. Books, Xbox Kinect, dance parties, Go Fish, card games, puzzles, Basketball, and Hide and Seek the Cell Phone. Lunch in the middle of all that, then prepared dinner. Ate, then danced some more, then played Monopoly. Kids finally go to bed at 7:30. Time to start in on the homework and solidify future plans. Oh no. Kid wakes up sick, barfing galore in his bed, on the floor, and over his stuffed animal. Strip the bed, find new sheets, get him some meds and back to sleep. Now it's time for laundry. One load in with the stinky sheets and dirty table cloth from one meal. Hand scrub and wash the stuffed animal, and dry it so that it's ready to sleep with tomorrow stink-free. 10:30 pm Back to the homework. Midnight: Get to bed for 6 hours of sleep before it's back to the grind with more homework before the kids wake up.
Oh the life of a mom. I sure do admire all the Super Mothers out there!
