Yesterday was just one of THOSE days; like I was just trying to catch my breath from one activity to another. It went something like this. The kids are listed as #1, #2, #3, #4, & #5 by birth order.
- Get up at 6:30 a.m. without getting up to say goodbye to hubby or send him anything to eat at work - feel badly.
- Feed kids breakfast and breastfeed #5, get #1 ready for school and drop her off at appproximately 7:55 a.m., with dog in tow.
- Come back home. Get #2 ready for kindergarten; get #3, #4, and #5 dressed and hair fixed, as well.
- Go to the Post Office at 10:00 a.m. to mail in Flex Spending Account claim. Arrive back at home at 10:40 a.m. and contemplate the wisdom of getting everyone out for just 20 minutes and do it anyway. Breastfeed #5. Load back up with #2,3, 4, & 5 (minus dog) and drop off #2 at kindergarten at 11:20 a.m. - 5 minutes late. Decide that next time in that situation, will all stay in van and feed baby in school parking lot.
- Drive down to vet clinic and get vaccination records for dog to mail back to ND for dog license in our summer town.
-Stop at Albertson's to recycle bottles and cans. Take #3, 4, & 5 inside to cash in receipts and #3 & 4 get a chocolate chip cookie.
-Arrive back home at 1:00 p.m. Feed kids lunch.
- 1:30 p.m. Make loaf of bread and let it start to rise. Make salad for self to take in van and eat while waiting in line to pick up kids from school.
- Put #3, 4, & 5 back in van and go back to school at 2:25 p.m. to pick up #1 & 2.
- Back home at 3:00 p.m. and punch down dough. Roll it into a loaf and put back in bread pan to rise. Begin small trial batch of peach jam (which turns out to be delicious!) Supervising #1's piano practice. Helping #2, sporadically, as she does 1st kindergarten homework packet of year. Attempt to start on dish disaster, but don't get too far.
- Hubby arrives home around 4:00 p.m. and we have coffee and bread with warm jam. Kids have pot of tea and toast.
- Start making dinner, general clean-up time. Hubby does miracle on bedroom and kitchen. #2 doesn't feel well and falls asleep on bed.
-Late dinner at 6:30 p.m. because of clean-up.
- #5 gets first bites of rice cereal then needs quick bath. #3 & 4 to bed. #2 wakes up with fever and needs Tylenol and to be put back to bed. #5 takes shower and gets ready for bed. Hubby cleans up after dinner while I supervise the above.
- 8:45 p.m. - Finally calm and quiet. Crochet for awhile, get too tired, read Scriptures, in bed by 10:00 p.m.
