Doing the Dance of the Children

There has been some serious dancing going on this week! I’m not sure how I forgot the crazy, busy way my life goes once school starts! I think I was still vacationing in La La Land and didn’t take the time to prepare my mind and home for what was coming. But, come it did and now I’m dancing to keep up.

Here’s a sample;

5:00 Alarm clock went off
5:30 Finish emails as Luke-Xavier wanders out asking for hot chocolate
7:15 Out the door with the boys for school AND to drive Mariah since her carpool backed out for this morning
8:00 Start wondering when the repairman for the washer will arrive (supposed to be sometime before noon and the laundry is starting to take over the house).
10:30 Leave to take Anna and Maddi to a class (hoping that the repairman isn’t picking this as his arrival time!)
1:00 Go back to get Anna and Maddi
1:00 Take Anna to a bday party
1:30 Back to the school to meet with the girls’ “teacher” to pick classes and gather books
3:00 Pick the boys up from the kind-hearted neighbor who’s keeping them while I do all this afternoon stuff
4:00 Pick Anna up from party
5:00 Distribute girls to various babysitting jobs
5:30 Make dinner
7:30 Wine tasting and a little unwinding with Mr. Mike (I’m gonna need this!)

Alright, that’s an overview. Did I mention breakfast, lunch, naps, returning books to the library, keeping the washer going continually (once it’s fixed), putting together the package of forgotten items that JJ called me with………..you get the idea!

Let the Dance begin!

Have a great day~
