7:01 am Two underwear-clad children wake me up, with cries of hunger pains, and professing that their light did in fact turn green. "I hungary mommy, I hungary, my light turned green and I am so very Hungary.."--Liam. I overslept my internal alarm clock and am now behind schedule. Not how I like to begin the day, but it is what it is.
7:02--the children remind me of thier starving bellies, and I instruct them to do thier morning chores. While they are busy cleaning and making beds, I grab Allie who has NOT found a way to take her diaper full of poo off and spread it everywhere--Thank God!
7:20--chores complete, baby changed and boys are still starving. Aedon is in charge of breakfast, and Liam drinks. I of course handle the milk..
7:25--Luke cries because Aedon gives him a medium big spoon, I am too tired to respond correctly, so i take it from him, act like i am taking it from the drawer and tell him it's a big-big spoon.. like he wants..
7:30--Allie throws all of her food on the floor and says "uh-oh!" in that voice where you know she did it on purpose. It's the second time this week, so she is done eating for the morning.
8:00-- Boys do thier table chores, Allie is busy destroying the kitchen by emptying all the contents of each cupboard onto the floor, I am trying to get dressed and ready to face parents/teachers in a few minutes.
8:30-- I load all 3 kids into my car (Angela takes Luke), they of course act like they have no idea where to sit, and wait impatiently while I explain once again who sits where. Allie is hitting me in the face while I do so. She recieves a firm squeeze to the hand, and starts throwing a fit. Everyone buckles, and we're off.
8:45--After our morning prayer in the car, we arrive at Aedon's School. He practically runs out of the car, barely giving me a kiss and an "I love you!" while he goes to class.
9:00 am-- We arrive at liam's school. He plays with Yadi, his new friend. Who he calls his "girl". I'm assuming it's because she IS a girl, he says "girls are not friends, they are girls". He is excited to see his teacher, but does give me a big hug before Allie and I leave.
9:30am-- We arrive home. I put Allie in her pack N play so she can play quietly by herself, I must get started on the long list of to do's
10:30 am-- Allie HAS managed to take her diaper off. It's my fault, I didn't put her pants back on after I changed her. Thankfully she has only peed, but she has rolled around in it, and is literally DRENCHED in it.
11:30-- Allie (who is now clean) and I pick Luke and Liam up from School. They are both happy to see us. Luke is once again, covered in paint, and Liam is telling me all about the boy in the spiderman shirt.
1:00pm-- All 3 kids have been fed, and put to bed. Thank God. I finally catch a bit of alone time. I haven't eaten yet, but i'm sure i'll get to it. I read my Bible for a bit, then zone out online for awhile before i know it it's ...
3:00pm-- Liam bounds down the stairs-- "My light turned green!!! My light turned Green!" He and I snuggle for a few minutes while we can, and watch whatever happens to be on PBS..
4:30pm--all the kids are up, I am waiting at the bus stop for Aedon. Will just got home, so I can wait by myself. I am always so excited to see his smiling face. To hear about his day and give him a big hug. The bus, like usual, is late.
5:30-- I realize that I never did eat.. and I don't recall eating breakfast, so the 2 cups of coffee I downed earlier will have to do till Dinner. The boys are starving again, feeling the need to tell me every 5 minutes or so that they are hungry. Will makes dinner, and I am so thankful I don't have to cook!
6:30--After Dinner, boys do thier table chores, the kids are a little rowdy today, so we send the boys upstairs for a bit, and Will and I enjoy some reading time. Allie is playing in the tv room with us...
7:00--It's bath time for Liam. He cries and cries because he wants to bring his new iron man transformer into the bath. We have a long discussion about choosing the right response. He doesn't respond well unfortunantly, and recieves a spanking. After a few minutes of his fit, and some more discussion, he decides he'll be happy with the toy he gets. His bath is shortened though because it took so long to get him in there!
7:30--We start Night time chores, put Allie to bed, and get boys ready for bed. After a little Bible Story time we snuggle, talk a little and then it's time for bed.
10:00pm--I'm ready for bed!!!! it's been a long day, but so happy for it. Tomorrow will start soon enough. :0)
I completely understand the no-eating thing. I love when my hand is on the doorknob to the pantry to grab SOMETHING, ANYTHING and I get called away!
