Just another manic Monday

March 25, 2014/Confessions of a SAHM

Monday was quite a day.
I showered. ‘Nuf said.

Put dinner in the crockpot, made eggs AND a smoothie for breakfast and made lunches.

After getting the three oldest hobbits to school, Sweet P and I ran up to the next little town to meet a friend for some shopping. I told her I’d help her decorate her new office space.

The store wasn’t open yet so I ran to Walmart two traffic lights down for an alarm clock.

Yes, an alarm clock. Ours gave up the ghost after 20 faithful years. They just don’t make them the way they used to!

Bananas, alarm clock, and a jar of peanut butter later, I helped my friend think through two therapists’ offices and a reception area. (We’re meeting in a few hours to try and get everything on the walls!)

Then to school to watch Ryan participate in the first week of a preschool soccer clinic …. . Oh the fun of watching 20 preschoolers stay on the “soccer island”!  Piper ate while her brother played.

At home I grabbed a few munchies for Ryan’s lunch and downed some of this:

Then off to my Monday prayer group. Home to eat my own lunch, snuggle with this one and nurse again before the girls got home from school:

As soon as the girls came home, shuffled back out the door to serve dinner to some kids in a nearby community.

And home to a crockpot dinner of our own.

Homework, baths, bedtime.

One day down, 4 to go (they won’t all be so crazy… I think!)

    Whew I am tired from reading that. yesterday was the first day of spring break. The teen has church all week, they adopted a christian 5th grade class to mentor, today is beach, tomorrow is serving the homeless they are also working on their fine arts preformance “human video”. So I am still busy running him and a few others back and forth. Watching Frozen for the bazillion time, Bible study on wed with my girlfriends and then bible study on thur with church. Its a super busy week and its a week off..
    Ryan looks like a pro with his foot on the ball, does he still wear his chest protection? Love Sweet P’s big smile.
    I am a horriable liquid drinker and its rough here in FL. I saw a pintrest with a milk jug with marks for water drinking and I am going to make one so I can drink enough water, one to help lose some weight and to help with my digestion which hates me since I had my gallbladder out in Nov.
