Day 4

I'm just sitting back at 10:30pm looking at all the destruction and needing a break, despite how late i've been going to bed every night. Today was just another usual day of trying to get too much done after school. I've tried to just go to the dump and the library on tuesdays, but I was waiting for someone to stop by the house at 4pm and then i had to go and pick something up from another mom's house and I couldn't find the house. Meanwhile Lorelei is screaming and its getting late. So we ordered pizza and salad from pizzas by evan and watched Survivor recorded in the tv room.
I'll admit I've had a few meltdowns with Ainslea not listening and time going faster than i need to get things done. And clearly spending 45 minutes looking for a library movie that was due today was not the best use of our time, but at $1/day in late fees its sort of necessary.
The normal pre-bedtime hassle was just a segway for trying to give Mittens his antibiotics...fun fun fun!!! But nothing was as fun as my Harry Potter cake!! Another mom needs another birthday cake so its late night of decorating in mystical orange and wizardry. It turned out ok, i'll post a picture later.
Travis called to say he had arrived in Washington state ok, it was a long day of travelling and living in 65 year old barracks for the next couple of weeks. ANd listening to the wind howl outside the windows makes me want to curl up in bed. So enough of my rambling fo rtoday. I just hope i get better at planning out my time and having more quality time with the kids. I know i shouldn't keep myself so busy, but thats the only way to make the days pass faster. But I'm sure thats not what the kids think...
