Good Evening fellow bloggers! So today was an average day. I woke up at 6 am to feed and water the animals before packing them and sending them on their way! LOL! My crazy crew is often disorganized and choatic. This morning was no different. As we rushed around looking for socks, shoes, homework and heads... we groused and grumbled about how early it was! Finally off to school, leaving Isaiah, Ryan and myself in a quiet house, I coudln't decide what was better, feeling the fullness of a busy, crazy, and often loud family surrounding me or the peace and quiet of an empty home. I am often torn! I love my boys but crave the peace and quiet their absence brings. With this passing thought racing through my mind I decided that today I would try to get back into a walking routine. This meant getting my stubborn three year old to cooperate. He hates giving up his cartoons in the morning. After convincing him it is a beautiful day out and he will like riding in the stroller we finally got out and on our way. One whole hour of walking and listening to my favorite songs on my ipod. I took a few pictures but have not loaded them on here yet. Then back to the house for a shower and lunch! Nothing eventful to report. The boys are home soon and we are back to the craziness that defines my life! Quickly, homework, soccer uniforms, snacks, waters pack up and leave! Game night! A great game for Ryan and Nolan. They played well and I was able to distract myself by talking with a new acquintance! Oh the wonderful getting to know you stage! LOL! Very nice lady and I hope to talk with her again sometime. Game over and on our way to Back to School night at the elementary school! Really? What is the point of this torturous evening of finding a parking spot, weaving in and around a crowd of clueless parents all wanting a couple minutes of the teacher's time just to hear her/him profess how much they love having your child in their class? I always feel like I have to wait in line to speak to them so they know I care. It is so pointless to me. I much rather prefer a one on one conversation where the teacher can focus on my child. It is fun for the boys though. I get pulled in two different directions while they point out all the stuff they did for this evening. Still, I smile and oooohh and ahhhh in all the appropriate ways. My boys beaming with pride! So in the end I guess it is worth it! Just to see the smile on their faces.
We end the evening with tired grouchy kids telling me they aren't tired and grouchy and don't want to go to bed. Showers, Pj's, goodnight hugs and kisses and again the house seems to give a huge sigh! Until tomorrow! Goodnight my friends!
