I know I say it all the time, but I am going to say it again. How is life so busy? Maybe between the fact that I am on Ministry Team for MOPS, so that requires 2 extra meetings a month, plus outside work. And regular MOPS every Friday. Plus I agreed to redo the roster for my Sunday School class, which included re-typing the whole thing, so of course that takes time. Plus taking Courtney to school, picking her up. Now I am working out. The list goes on and on. I have felt pretty frazzled by it all recently. I couldn't figure out why, but I think I finally have. The house has gotten pretty messy recently, and I think having the house messy is what really leads me to feel chaotic. So, I have been working when I can to get everything back in order. But I still feel like I don't have time for that!
Here is how today went: got up, ate breakfast, wrestled the kids to get dressed. While all that is going on, Hubby is setting up my mom's new phone and I am unloading the dishwasher for Hubby to reload it and start it before we leave. Don't forget we also need to feed the animals, let them potty, get them locked up, all the gates up, trash on the counter and pantry door locked all before 9am when we need to be out the door. Which 9am is one hour later than the Mon-Fri schedule, so not bad!
From there it's to my parent's house to drop off the phone and pick up boxes to take to the zoo. Once at the zoo it's preschool time from 10-11am. After preschool, a quick feeding at the giraffes and then back to the car, down the hill to stop at my parents house again to pick up diapers because in our rush this morning, we forgot the diaper bag.
From there it's over to Rudy's restaurant where we meet up with the P's for lunch. That turned into a bit of a disaster due to one of the P kids being ill. So, lunch ended up being a bit crazy.
From there it was a quick stop at a local brewery to pick up some growlers (or jugs) of beer to try. Then home to get the kids to nap. Which, Courtney never made it there. Kasey did thank goodness. Meanwhile, I had some items listed for sale on Craigslist, and a lady came by to pick them up. Oh, and did I forget to mention that we are up to 4 dogs for the weekend? We are watching a friends dog who got dropped off yesterday and will get picked up tomorrow.
After a SHORT rest time for me, Hubby and Courtney which was basically sitting down to watch some of the Hokie football game, it was up and at 'em again. We had cleaning to do because we were having supper club meet at our house tonight. Most of the supper club folks were unable to make it, so it was just kind of a smaller pizza night, but we still had 8 adults and 4 kids here (including us). So, we had to vacuum, unload the dishwasher, move laundry, clean the kitchen, and other small things.
Then the guests arrived, we ate, we sat around and chatted, and the last guests left after the Air Force game was over, or about 9:45pm. I am now working on finishing up the roster I have to take to Sunday school tomorrow and I still need to take a shower before bed, and it's now 11:10pm.
This is just one day in the life of me. And it's pretty much like this every day. No wonder I feel so frazzled!
Ok, well, I guess I really need to stop writing and go get my work done so I can go take a shower!
HUGS!
