Oh.....my.....gosh.....the past few days have almost been the death of me. It honestly hurts me to much to even type everything out that I did...but here goes:
Monday night I flew in...got home around 12:30 a.m. woke up and drove to get the kids at 11:00 from their grandmas...that day there were errands ran..lunch eaten..shit fits thrown..naps taken..chores done..baths given..etc. Wed...we met up with some other kids and nannies and went ice skating, to lunch, the zoo, the doctor, had a play date, swam, ate, there was a bee sting incident..etc. Today was my all time favorite..and it deserves a play by play...wake up at 7:15... get downstairs at 7:30...breakfast...backpacks..leave for school..we drive halfway then walk to the school... "it's the thing to do here"....me and Z walk back to the car..drive to his school..drop him off...the next 2 and 1/2 hours are mine!!...to do dishes, laundry, straighten the kids rooms, dry cleaning, errands, prepare for a picnic, etc.. I didn't get everything done but I did make about 15 min. of time for myself to eat some leftover chinese. Then I picked up Z at 11:30...we head straight to the park for a picnic/playdate with his best buddy...play play eat cry...home for nap...1:15..lay him down...his mom was home for a bit so he decided he wasn't tired...so he didn't nap..I made him some snacks and tried to do some more stuff I needed to do...2:40..I decide that we can just go to M's school early and he can play on the playground cause he keeps going in the office and his mom is trying to get some work done...we drive..park...walk...he plays...M gets out of school...we walk back to the car...a friend invites them to play at a park..we go home and have a quick snack and clothes change...then off to the park...they play play cry...email from the mom on my phone...forgot that M's theater class starts today...in 30 minutes...oh wait..the ice cream truck is here...so we get ice cream...eat...then go to the theater class...drop off M...me and Z go to the grocery store to get the stuff I didn't have time to get earlier...we go home quickly...he pees, I put up the food, we go back, get M...then its off to a local Pizzeria...where her friend accompanies us...so me and a 7 yr old, 6 yr old, and 3 yr old sit down to nice relaxing dinner...yeah right...somehow everyone they know shows up...they are overcome with excitement...Z can barley stay inside his skin...there are quarters to be given, games to be played, food to be eaten, chewed up and spit back out, dropped on the floor, etc. We leave, drop off M's friend...go home...bath time for Z.... read books, bedtime...for the last 45 minutes M has been talking to me about anything and everything...first week of school, very exciting....I let her stay up pretty much as long as she can take it on Friday nights cause I figure..what the heck..they always get up so early..maybe they'll sleep in...plus..when she's tired...she literally says "can I go to bed now"?? all in all...this week has been a non stop crazy fest...believe you me there is a ton of stuff I left out...dishwasher leaking water all over...picking up dog from kennel..plenty of fits...not sleeping well at all....waking up like 3 or 4 times...not sure why...BUT.. I think I thrive on hecticness...if thats a word. When I have a day where things are boring and not much is going on..I get kinda cranky (not in my personal life...I love it then!) but when the kids are entertained and busy...even when Z and me are zooming through the aisles of a grocery store as he covers himself in his cherry ice cream...I can't help but smile...somehow stress usually makes me laugh..I think I like to run around like a chicken with its head cutt off....keeps me on my toes.... Next week should calm down once I get into the new fall schedule....but does anyone know anyone who could hook me up with some speed??? ; )
