What a day…. June 5, 2006
Posted by spacemom in : She Blinded me with Science, Mom Phrases, Home wreckers , 1 comment so farIt is Monday, I am sleepy and hungry.
It’s been a long day. The girls were crazy today. We spent the morning shopping at a hardware store. They give a free lollipop to the kids, so I can shop in peace. I needed a new light for the laundry/bath, I wanted to spray paint to test my theory of repainting the playhouse and I got some spray paint for Soleil’s furniture (which was a hideous off white that was smoke stained). Ok, that’s not so bad. Then we went to the playground next to the hardware store.That was good. We survived that.
Then onto the drug store, where I needed a toothbrush for Luna (don’t ask, please)
We ended up going into a consignment shop and the kids played with the toys. I got a nice set of DVDs and umbrella. Ok- still going well.
To the drugstore… Luna tried to walk out with 3 tubes of "Dora and Diego" toothpaste..
Then to Dunkin’ because we need our morning snack of bagel and coffee (I get the coffee, they get the bagel). Ok- slight whining over who gets the top of the bagel.
Back home, I install the light in the laundry (while they watch the Spongebob marathon…not my idea) and then we have lunch, play and then my work meeting. Oh yeah, did I forget to mention that I am on duty this week and the command load came out on Friday for review today. I reviewed it Friday, but I have to be in on the meeting today. So we are playing outside, watching ants crawl, driving the cozy coupe and discussing the spacecraft load. I hope nobody heard the kids during the meeting.
By the time the meeting was over, the kids were getting a little nutso. We played with our friends until Luna started to cry when you looked at her. Lovely…
She passed out in the car, but we survived long enough to get home and into the tub. I asked Dr. Jay to come home early. He did (by 5:20) and the kids played with him for a while.
I am mentally drained. Writing this out makes it nothing compared to some of E’s days with Macy, but for some reason I am extremely drained.
On two other notes:
Crazy H gave birth to her second daughter on Wednesday. I helped by taking her oldest in the middle in of the night. We did a great job and managed to deal well with 3 kids in our house in the morning…
They came over yesterday and basically crashed while we played with her oldest (23 months) and I held her little one.
We finished most of the upstairs bathroom. We should get the shower door on Thursday. I will post photos…
