It is hard to believe I made it through this crazy day!!!
First day of school breakfasts, first day of school outfits, first day of school blues for kids and mom too. Waking the children, getting them cleaned up, fed, and clothed properly for the day. Scooting the eldest out the door for his first day of work. waiting for the bus to pick up #2. Went up to the school to cheer for the teachers and students as they arrive on the first day, greeting many familiar faces, and some news ones as well. realizing for the first time in 4 years I had no time to bake cookies for the teachers yet...add that to the list for the week...
So good to see some new-old faces up at school this year....Mrs. Johnson...always brings warmth to my heart and a smile to my face.
Run home, send Scott and Isaiah off to golf...run to the high school to pick Madison up for a med-check appointment only to learn that we can accomplish absolutely nothing at said appointment because the doc who did her testing over the last few weeks failed to get reports to doc. SO....nothing gained but wasted 3 hours of time....gas in the van....and Madison missed 2 hours of the first day of school. NOW we get to make another appointment and try again....meanwhile, we are totallly not on stable meds right now which is never a good plan but much less so for the first week of school.
Run into the store to grab milk, which I ran out of this morning, dropped Madison back off at school, ran home, fed the babe, ran up to school with Sam and the babe for Kindergarten hour with Mrs. Perry. Had a blast watching Sam trying to be a big kid for a change....is there a ray of light at the end of Samuels tunnel???? could be.....
Stopped by Camel Grammas to pick up a package for Dom, Got home, fed the babe, cooked dinner, cleaned kitchen, gave baths, read books, did home work...yup...home work on the first day of school...ironed clothes....prayed and put kids to bed....big sigh....nope the babe is still fussing....better go I have more rocking to do....sleep will arrive later.
BUT....I made it through the day...Yeah for me! HOw was your first day of school???

Angela...you amaze me!! You are such a great mommy. Seven kids to wrangle and you are making milk shakes for the first day of school breakfast! There has to be a special reward in Heaven for moms like you. It was great to meet Zephan last night and see how big those kids have gotten. I hate that our schedules make it tough to get together more often. Call if I can help with #2.
