No, pictures yet...don't ask!
So onto the post. If you really give a hoot about what I've been up to lately, then obviously you will read on....but I warn you....It might get slightly boring, and dare I say, serious! Okay, not serious, because its Anna, and the day I write a completely serious blog is the day that rats fly.
Okay, I really think I've lost something of great importance to me...I have completely lost my mind! not that I really have ever used it to it's full potential in the past...but I'd still like it back regardless. So here's my life:
Monday....wake up at 6:30 (try to get somewhat ready and awake in 10 minutes so I can arise the rest of the household, make lunch and find socks for Thomas and Sam) 6:40...2 older kids up and ready in 30 minutes (so they can practice violin and cello before school. 7:00 the 2 little girls I am watching arrive and join us in the festivities of the morning. 7:00 again....I wake up Thomas while James waits about 10 minutes to wake up...he usually is disturbed by all of the string instruments in the house. 7:55...by this time I have fed all children...dressed all children...have all children in mini van....pick up neighbor boy....and off to school....we race the bus because if we get stuck behind it, we are LATE for school. 8:15....school starts for my three oldest kids. 8:20 to 11:30....entertain 3 small children while doing various household chores. 11:00 early lunch for my babysitting girls. 11:30 pick up Thomas 12:00 drop off Miriam at Kindergarten 12:10....eat lunch AGAIN and 1:00... practice violin with Thomas (James takes a nap somewhere in here) 1:30 Lilly naps 1:30 to 3:00....I play a never ending round of chess with Thomas(he is 4 years old) 3:10 All kids are home...Some will go to music or dance lessons after this 3:45 Lilly goes home 4:00 I make a dinner of meats or pasta or cereal (only if I haven't taken the aforementioned children to their various lessons.) 4:30...Rick is home, and we eat! 7:00 scriptures and bedtime 7:30....kids are NEVER asleep by this time, but I wish they were 8:00....Some of the kids might be asleep. 9:00 All kids are asleep and I have CRASHED!
Tuesday.....repeat Mondays routine, but add in an early morning Cello lesson and teaching dance in the afternoon! Oh Geesh
Wednesday....repeat Monday....Clarissa has dance this day
Thursday....repeat Monday.....I get to attend my Principals of Freedom class this night! It's my favorite night!
Friday....repeat Monday, but no school for my kiddos! Friday is a good day! Thomas and Clarissa have violin in the afternoon!
As you can plainly see.....I have lost my mind, if you find it, please let me know!
crazy as it is, I think we will miss it when this time in our life has passed :). Kace will be very VERY disappointed in the lack of pictures. he tends to check your blog more than the rest :)
ReplyDeletehahahaah. I love that Kace checks your blog. Um...you sound like a.....wait for it....MOM! ha! A crazy one, yes, but a GREAT mom, nonetheless. Speaking from personal experience, your children will be eternally grateful and indebted to you for it.
ReplyDeleteI know that someday I will look back and be grateful for the sacrifices that I am making right now so they can attend private school and keep their AMAZING music teachers....right now I just feel like I'm the only one going to such great lengths to provide these things.....so therefore I think I am CRAZY!!!
