Have you ever had one of those days when you wake up and think to yourself, "today is going to be the best day ever. I'm going to get my kids off to school, run some errands, pick up Drew from kindergarten, make a delicious lunch, put Ethan down for a peaceful 2 hour nap, read a pile of books to my 5 year old, pick up Syd from school, get homework done, head off to the dentist, make a scrumptious dinner, have a fabulous FHE consisting of reading the scriptures and playing games even though Dad's out of town, and getting my ever so happy, non-fighting children to bed by 8. Then I can get on the elliptical and have a bath and read a book....or scrap."
OH...Wait....REALITY hits and the day goes more like this...drop the kids off at school, run a couple errands, pick up Drew, make pb & j for lunch (not that delicious), Ethan takes NO nap, Drew has no interest in reading with me, pick up Syd from school, she forgot to bring HOME the homework, head to the dentist, go through the McDonald's drive thru for a much less than scrumptious dinner, clean up the 20 oz. powerade that was dumped on the floor when Drew was putting his straw in it, fish Ethan out of the toilet (at least there was nothing "special"in it!), bathe and sterilize him, have FHE consisting of a scripture story out of the easy reader, breaking up 100 fights between my two eldest, and getting them to bed. AAAHHH....instead of getting on the elliptical I think I will finish off the pan of brownies and wash it down with a Dr. Pepper. Maybe I can have a bath after I wash the trail of dirty clothes I have picked up on the way to my room. Excerise can wait...too tired. Want to sleep...................................at least I dressed my kids in green today to avoid the pinching at school. Happy St. Patrick's Day.
