And the pace continues ....

Quick trip to doctor last night for a little sty on Enzo's eye - actually turned out fun - we picked up his prescription - shopped for chocolate ice cream - had a nice time together. Dinner was chaos because I had to leave it on the stove - Olivia turned it off at appropriate time - Hubby sliced the pot roast, but.... they really liked it - ate a lot(including veggies) - complimented it all. Milo was my "super special helper" all day, but.... did almost get us kicked out of the library while looking for Olivia's research books because he was running like a crazy person (until I calmed him by reading a book to him :-). Lilliana woke up this morning with chocolate ice cream still on her face (yes, she partook of last night's treat too). She is in the bath this am before we head to gymnastics. Glad everyone is out the door - tears from Enzo because he wants to ride the bus and not go to tennis plus he has a "sight word" quiz today - Milo happy but would not even eat one of his beloved granola bars or wear a coat despite chilly temps - Olivia in tears because she says the boys make her late everyday and she has to get a pass from the office (plus her uniform skirt zipper required pinning today - all the 8th grade girls have skirts on their last legs, but... with only a few weeks left, they HAVE to last - sorry girls :-). My freelance project is back on track but.... just requires hours of work a day (my poor kiddies). The 8th grade dinner I'm planning is coming together (fantastic parents in that room), and... my other fundraising event is getting an early start. Fingers crossed. It's looking OK today.....(though I did just take a cold shower - so got in warm tub with baby Lil who is playing with Olivia's old Mermaid Barbie - that's right - Mermaid Barbie, and.... the doll still has a sparkly ponytail holder in her hair that I remember putting in with Olivia YEARS ago - sniff. Oh well - Lil currently refusing gymnastics, so... I'm kinda all dressed up, nowhere to go right now....)

I get tired reading about all the things you do. I don't know how you do it all. I am such a slacker mom/wife!

This is exceptionally odd these past few weeks. I mean, we are booked solid all day, so I just kinda roll with it.... I will look back and go - "are you kidding me?" :-) - when I'm slacking poolside. Also - you work - you volunteer - there is NO WAY you are a slacker (who picked up litter on Earth Day? - um ... not me ;-). You should consider slacking poolside with us this summer ....

I'm exhausted! And I'm only READING this. ((hugs))
