This was my day, last Friday. It. Is. Not. Typical. <\/strong><\/h4>\n

No two days in my life ever look the same, though!<\/b><\/p>\n

7:10<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Nathan came in to tell us good morning.<\/p>\n

I’ll never tire of my kids’ baby voices.<\/p>\n

It’s one of the many things I wish I could hold onto forever.<\/p>\n

<\/a>
\n7:15<\/h4>\n

Charlie got up to make sure William got off to school and I tossed & turned, scrolled Facebook, texted a friend and heard a crash that I assume was a cat….<\/p>\n

I got up to let the cat out of my room.<\/p>\n

He promptly went and found Traci’s luggage.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

7:30<\/h4>\n

I helped Nathan get breakfast, got myself coffee.<\/p>\n

Will asked to be dropped off and picked up today.<\/p>\n

Dad gets drop off duty. I will do pick up.<\/p>\n

<\/a>
\n7:50<\/h4>\n

Lucas woke up. Traci woke up.<\/p>\n

Charlie texted me. Apparently traffic was light and drop off was easier than he had anticipated.<\/p>\n

I cleaned the kitchen counters while Lucas helped Traci get her first cup of coffee.<\/p>\n

8:05<\/h4>\n

Coffee cup number two.<\/p>\n

Lucas got started on math and reading comprehension.<\/p>\n

Nathan is playing somewhere in the house.<\/p>\n

<\/a>
\n8:30<\/h4>\n

Chatted with Traci.<\/p>\n

Snuggled with Nathan, then Lucas, then fights over who is going to play in my wheelchair… um. No one.<\/p>\n

I replied to blog emails. No I will not send the item back after I review it. Really?<\/p>\n

Lucas went out back to shoot his bow & arrow.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

9:15<\/h4>\n

I made the boys go out and jump on the trampoline… it’s 67 and beautiful outside!<\/p>\n

9:30<\/h4>\n

Nathan was bit by an ant, so that didn’t last long. I put Lucas to work on science and cleaned up the master bathroom.<\/p>\n

10:00<\/h4>\n

I realized I was hungry and grab a quick boring breakfast. A mini bagel and strawberry cream cheese.<\/p>\n

The kids are finally on the trampoline. Hmmm. How long will it last this time?<\/p>\n

Not long. They each came back in, saw me eating and wanted to steal my bagel. <\/p>\n

I made them make their own. <\/p>\n

<\/a>
\n10:20<\/h4>\n

Traci headed out for her event. Nathan is playing on the computer.<\/p>\n

Lucas is cleaning his room so I can vacuum with my new Dyson. I’m a little obsessed with how amazing it cleans my carpeted rooms.<\/p>\n

10:50<\/h4>\n

I made Lucas go outside so I can actually organize what used to be his desk and bookshelf. <\/p>\n

Nevermind. I decided it needed to wait. I’m just not up for this. Maybe later.<\/p>\n

He did find a Christmas gift that he wanted to return. Oops!<\/p>\n

Headed to my room to make my bed, finally! I opened the blinds to let light in and saw the boys playing in the playscape! Breath.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Lucas came in shortly after and I sent him to the kitchen to empty the dishwasher.<\/p>\n

Hmmm. I’m not sure where Nathan is. <\/p>\n

When he’s done with his chore, we will do our science and history reading together on the sofa! <\/p>\n

11:15<\/h4>\n

Finally getting to our reading assignments…<\/p>\n

Nathan came in not long after Lucas and started playing on his iPad. I didn’t really want him hearing about Joan of Arch being burned at the stake.<\/p>\n

<\/a>
\n12:00<\/h4>\n

I put leftover Pizza in the oven and while it cooked, I loaded the dishwasher and mopped the schoolroom.<\/p>\n

Lucas and I snuck the leftover lemonade while Nathan wasn’t looking.<\/p>\n

Spring break has officially started at Hedlin Academy.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

12:45<\/h4>\n

My neighbor came over to borrow my patio furniture for our girls’ weekend.<\/p>\n

I checked email again and did a little bit of Touchstone Crystal work.<\/p>\n

I finally got around to putting on my make up, taking some meds & downing water for the headache that wants to ruin my weekend. I don’t think I’ve had anything to drink but that little bit of lemonade and my 2 cups of coffee. Oops.<\/p>\n

I told Lucas he could be ungrounded a day early and he could play Minecraft with his brother.  Maybe that was a bad idea. We are way to lenient with him sometimes.<\/p>\n

I really wanted to go to park day but today they are meeting in central Austin and I need to pick Will up at 3:45. I think we have to pass.<\/p>\n

What Can I do to avoid folding laundry?<\/p>\n

1:20<\/h4>\n

Nathan’s room has toys all over the floor and there’s no way I could even put laundry away. We are going to work on A clear path for me to roll.<\/p>\n

1:50<\/h4>\n

His room is clean now, that didn’t take too long. We desperately need to shampoo his carpet.<\/p>\n

I guess I have put off laundry as long as possible. <\/p>\n

Yay!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

2:20<\/h4>\n

Nathan’s laundry is done. Now to put it away. Fuller House got me through. I really wish I didn’t hate folding so much.<\/p>\n

3:30<\/h4>\n

I stopped folding Charlie and Lucas’s laundry so we could leave to get William.<\/p>\n

I’ll have to finish it later.<\/p>\n

I’m headed to a LuLaRoe popup one of my March touchstone hostesses is hosting. I want to give her a hostess packet and help support other things she’s doing!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

4:45<\/h4>\n

I spent an hour at the Lularoe party and left $100 lighter. I got a ton of interest in the jewelry I was wearing. It’s so true that it sells itself. My friend got a few more leads on who to invite to her party!<\/p>\n

5:15<\/h4>\n

Charlie came home early.<\/p>\n

Lucas went to a friend’s house after he put his laundry away.<\/p>\n

William talked us into a new computer game and we all hung out outside. Charlie is working on our riding mower & Nathan and Will are burning off energy on the trampoline! <\/p>\n

I’m heading to my neighbor’s in about an hour to kickoff a girls only weekend!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

6:10<\/h4>\n

I Finally got my laundry put away so that means everything stitch is clean and put away.<\/p>\n

 Now it’s time to go ahead next-door have some great Mexican food and wine and meet some new awesome people!<\/p>\n

Let the girls weekend begin!<\/p>\n

1:00<\/p>\n

I came home to sleep. What a fun night of wine and yummy food! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
