My Day

This is really NOT very exciting, and probably seems a little dreary. Do we all have days that seem a little long, drawn out, tiring? I hope so! I hope that I am not the only whiner :) This morning, like most mornings, I woke up to the sound of Jeremy getting out of the shower. That is my signal to get my bum out of bed and get in the shower. So I did. Jeremy got the kids dressed and fed, like he always does. I am SO grateful for that. I got ready, then did hair, then grabbed my granola bar and off we went to Grandmas. Dropped kids off at Grandmas (where they painted bird houses today) and off to work I went. Thankfully, I work with AMAZING people who make me smile...especially on a day like today when I was a little dreary. Worked six hours, left, went and picked up kids at Grandmas. But, oh, it's been a lovely week of wetting beds, wetting sidewalks, wetting, wetting, wetting. UGH. SO grateful that Grandma and Grandpa watch the gang. Off to home we went. Got home, did five loads of laundry, vacuumed the house, took out garbage, helped Kenna make their bed with clean sheets, helped Kenna make dessert for dinner, helped Braxton shuck the corn for dinner, served out otter pops, watched my children gather garbage from all over the neighborhood to "make a trash fort", watched Trauma Life in the ER (to make myself happy), gathered twins from the canal where they took off to in order to throw rocks, put twins in timeout for taking off to the canal to throw rocks, listened to Dad's talk to the twins for throwing rocks into the canal, watched Jeremy bbq while I boiled corn and loaded plates, watched the kids do an impromtu talent show in the backyard, ate dinner, went to Lowes, watched Braxton try to take someone's merchandise, went to Michaels, watched Kenna pick up random feathers to make her own bouquet, went home, made dessert plates, went for a four mile bike ride ALONE, took my happy medicine, kissed babies goodnight, listened to silence, and am now mentally preparing for tomorrow...which promises to be equally eventful because I am the mommy of six kids and the very grateful wife of Jeremy and a very blessed gal...but tired.
