7:38 am awoke
7:47 am went back to sleep
7:58 am dragged my butt out of bed and hit the shower
8:38 am changed babies and started cooking breakfast
8:53 am fed all 5 kids
(this is where I sit down at the computer and zone while the kids eat but I don't need to go in to all of that)
9:47 am dress babies
9:51 am threaten older children to come and get dressed
9:53 am continue threats, add glaring eyes
9:55 am PLEAD with children to come and get ready..try and act excited by adding the bits about preschool and new toys
10:04 am drag one of the boys in to their room...tackle him to the floor and dress him. fight him to stay still while I put his shoes on. throw a leg around his waste while I pull a wet wipe out and wash breakfast off of his face and then hold one arm while spraying down his hair and brushing it down.
10:12 am repeat with 2nd boy, 2nd boy whines more.
10:15 am frantically wave arms around and run in circles while telling Syd that it's time to get your hair done....we're GOING to be late for gymnastics.
10:18 am load babies in the car. scream at boys to get in their seats so that I can buckle them. scream some more at them that they need to stay out of things in the console. stop touching buttons. come get in your seats. we are late. lets GO !
10:22 am close the van doors and head to the front of the van. notice flat tire.
10:22:04 am swear. a lot.
10:23 am call neighbor and ask if she can take Syd to gymnastics and then come to my senses realizing Syd won't die if there is no gymnastics. let kids out of the van...they immediately take off on bikes and wagons.
10:24 am it starts to rain.
10:24:06 am swear. a lot. laugh about it. get umbrellas out and play in the rain until it's time for preschool to start.
I don't know how I'm going to do this. Preschool starts at 11:30 am. Syd gets out of gymnastics at 11:30 am and 10 minutes from our house no less.
There is no early drop off at school. I've checked.
(sigh)
Just WAIT until the other 2 start lessons or school or therapy.
SHOOT !
Today was the boys first day of preschool. YEEEAAAAHHH !
I'm so excited for them to get out and play and sing songs and learn and meet new people.
