Truly words can't describe the state I'm in. Well maybe if I said, periods of scheduled intense madness punctuated by laundry, food shopping and cooking.The morning routine is much the same as it's been for nine years. Raise the children, feed the children, make sure the children have a lunch when they head off to school. The time between 9 and 3 are for all those motherly duties that come with the lowly job title of stay-at-home mom. I get it. I'm the one that shops, cooks, cleans, stains woodwork, paints bathrooms, composts, gardens, weeds, seldom vaccuums, writes articles, blogs, sidesteps my book, and folds laundry.
Three o-clock rolls around and I'm the escort service from the bus to home, ( if we are not following the Patriot Trail). Followed by a stint as homework cop. Religious ed. will be poking its head in around four, stepping on the toes of dinner. Then five o'oclock and it's pick up the sport fanatic time. Along with setting the second seating for dinner. Six brings with it choir, dance, more sporting events, and music lessons. Eight is yet another drop off and delivery of note.
What night is it, and where am I going?

Have I told you lately that you are a goddess?! Your kids & hubby are so lucky to have you. I know that doesn't make the days (daze?) any easier, but just know that you are a role model to so many and truly admired for the life you lead. Call me sometime if you just need to vent! Maybe lunch time would work best with the crazy schedule you just described. BTW, I just bought a halloween costume for my Bemma :) ... Rob & I may not be properly attired for the big halloween party, but at least we can bring a little cutie :) ... If there's anything I can do to help with that, just let me know. I have a link to your blog on my igoogle page now, so i'll be enjoying your musings on a regular basis!
Dani, You're sweet for saying that. A lunch sounds good. I'll be in touch.
