talk to all the other moms so much that I am the last to leave...
and load the kids into van
and van won't start...
call hubby to come with jumper cables
send kids back to playground
hubby comes to save the day
hubby then informs me he has work that will keep him away til midnight. (Gulp! I am on my own!)
Decide to treat everyone to Ryan's-a full meal complete with ice cream-we all deserve it!
Get there and think to myself...what am I thinking? 4 kids and one mom with a buffet???
Too late to back out now, already paid.
After helping 3 kids get plates (Thank goodness for 9 year old's independence) and mine
We They enjoy the meal...but I mostly spend my time hearing myself sound like this, "Sit down, Don't talk with your mouth full!, Inside Voices!, Please don't eat off the floor!, well...you get the idea.
Load them all back up in the van, go visit their mom at work to say hi.
Lose the 4 year old in the clothing racks, Find the 4 year old in the toy section
Leave store, load kids back into van, drop off the nieces back to Grandma
Go back home,sit down and post on facebook I am ready for a nap
Pick up my book, Crazy Love, and review Ch. 3 before Bible Study tonight
Thank God for His amazing Fatherly love for me.
Back to reality, look at the clock and realize it's way past time to get ready for the game tonight...
look all over house for baseball uniform
Find dirty uniform, dress baseball star in dirty uniform. Look for glove and hat
Items found, get into van and rush to ballpark.
Arrive 5 min. late, but hey! we got there. Treat myself to a coke from concession stand.
Realize as his team goes out to field, I forgot to get his glove out of the van!
Run back 1/2 mile to the van, Run back 1/2 mile to the field...give him the glove.
Think to myself ... I am soo ready for a nap.
Sit in hot sun, no sunglasses. Sip coke, relax a little bit. Get my camera out. Realize I only have 3 shots left after taking so many pics at Coop.
Watch son play an amazing game. He was focused the whole game, hit every ball at bat-great distance too, and got the teams only 3 outs!
Smile at birds chirping, and thank God for the day. Slow down a little. Sip more coke. Cheer for James. This is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it!
Game over, give James a blue powerade and get joy from his big smile!
Get back to van, start it...ahh! almost didn't start. Call Mark to let him know, but oh...just realized the back door was ajar. Nevermind. It's okay.
Call Joy to see if we are still on for Bible Study and to let her know I have the kids with me!
She reminds me I was spose to bring the dessert ingredients.
Trip to Walmart. Yuck!
Get 3 items, wait 25 minutes in the express line. No exaggeration. curse walmart, again!
Back out in traffic, remember I forgot my Crazy Love book at the house. Can't do study without it, so I turn around and head home.
Run inside, get my book, and the kids' soap they made at coop which they insist on showing to Joy.
head the 30 minutes to Joys.
Stop and get gas.
Get to Joy's. Kids play with her adorable dog, Toby. Dinner was fabulous, thankful she cooked for us! I thank God everytime I think of her.
Turn on TV for James. Bella falls sound asleep. Catch up on silly talk before we begin Bible Study.
Realize it's almost 9, decide to do Bible Study next week. Both of us are refreshed though!
Watch LOST! woh! In great mood now.
More girly talk, realize it's 11:30...
pack up kids
head home, realize half way home I forgot the soap at Joy's (plus that 3rd item I bought at Walmart)
Get home, kiss my hubby. Think about describing my day, but sum everything up by telling him LOST was good. He fills me in on his day. Great business prospects and more jobs. Good news.
He goes and takes a shower, then bed. I sit down, sigh about my lack of communication skills.
