"Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure that you are."
Got 5 kids up, made one change her outfit, signed last minute permission slip and initialed 1st. graders folder, and out the door to their rides to school
cleaned up breakfast mess
Did dishes, swept floor, put a load of laundry in
Made bed
had a bit of computer time
picked up hot spots in living room
went downstairs to find dirty laundry, put one load in basement laundry (yes we have 2)
stripped 3 beds, remade one
put clothes in dryer upstairs
went out and worked on weeding raspberry's for 1/2 hr. BEAUTIFUL day!
downstairs laundry in the dryer, & another load in
Upstairs laundry in out of the dryer, wet clothes in, and another wash load going.(you don't want to see a picture of all my laundry...dirty OR clean!!)
Back outside to rake up all the weeds, debris, & water flowerbeds
Leon headed to Hastings for window treatment job
took care of mail
wrote some e-mails, had some computer time (ie blogging!)
Did I eat lunch? Don't remember, that was yesterday. Food isn't a priority unless it's sitting in front of me!
Changed clothes
grabbed snacks for kids
went to grade school to pick up younger 3, then back to town to pick up
Meshayla at middle school.
Headed out of town with no time to spare...45 miles to Hastings for Relyssa's last track meet of the season, 35 minutes till scheduled to start.
Arrived 15 minutes after scheduled track meet starting time and waited 20 more minutes for it to start!
Leon arrived 10 minutes after we did.
Enjoyed the track meet, weather was beautiful, although rain predicted.
Relyssa came in 1st place on 100 M. hurdles
She came in 3rd place on 300 M. hurdles. Her best placing on those, although she said not her best time.
Kids had a great time running around on the grass, & Morgen took his roller blades.
Left the track meet and went celebrate by eating Chinese, Relyssa's favorite.
Left town just as the storm clouds were really building up and coming in fast.
The storm hit about the time we got on the interstate, and since we were heading into it, we traveled in it all the way home. UGG not my favorite part of the day! I hate lightening and there was alot of it. Also had to slow way down, as the rain was coming down pretty hard.
Home at last
Grab clean sheets from dryer & re-make little girls bed
Didn't even have to hound the kids to go to bed, they were all tired!
Checked my e-mails & read
My nightly bubble bath ritual...Personal pampering :*)
Wow, actually got in bed by 10:30. That's early around here for me!
I loved reading about your day, 'cause many times I've had the privilege to share some of them with you! Take care!

So you were in Hastings yesterday?! Hmmm.. Yeah, that was a nasty looking storm! Yesterday was a 'perfect day' for me too - got some things accomplished, had some nice conversations, and had a good time with the kids. That's a good day in my book.
ReplyDeleteFun to read your "everyday" post. The clouds look like some we've seen down here! I don't like driving in it either. Makes for a slow trip! Glad you got home safe & sound!:)
ReplyDeleteGlad I'm not the only one who meets oneself coming and going. See my post.. We sure work hard so we can stay home and take care of the families.
ReplyDeleteThis does sound like a great, busy day. Productive... fun, family events... personal time. What more can you ask for?
ReplyDeleteWow! I know this was not the purpose of your post but I am still wrapping my mind around the 2 washers and dryers. :) I know I don't have anywhere near as many kids, but.....
ReplyDeleteI wonder how much it would take to convice Wilfred. Judst think it would be like having my own laundromat. I have often told my sister, sometimes I just feel like loading up all the laundry and going to the laundromat I could put one load in every machine and be done in like 3 hours. Somehow though I know something would happen and it wouldn't work. So I guess I will just be thankful for the one good set that I do have.
J; When we built our house here we had 8 kids and a 2nd laundry room in the basement where 4 bedrooms were was a top priority on my list! For my normal everyday laundry, I HATED with a passion having to go to the basement (prior house) to do wash so I made sure that my main Laundry was on main floor, but it sure helps to have one downstairs too for older kids who sleep down there, do their own laundry & when it's time for me to change bedding!
ReplyDeleteAlso nice for company. They don't feel like they're interrupting mine, which goes about non-stop 24-7
wow..you are doing the blog thing...i see you have some other blogs as well? if there are any you would like to share invite me if you want...thanks! fun to read your day...i think those are some of my favorite reads in blog land..a sense of community! you're one busy person!
ReplyDeleteSounds "perfect" to me in every way. ;) I liked the quote about reminding ourselves what a treasurea normal day is. I needed that.
