Early mornings.....

I am so very puzzled...yes I know this is pretty normal for me but still. Today was my day to get up with the kids so Husband could sleep in. (Yesterday was my day!)
So what time did I awake? 4:25am. Yep that's what I said. I was awoken before the birds. Before the farmers get up to milk the cows. Earlier then I had to wake up in Boot Camp for Physical training. Earlier than God had intended!!!

Why do my children think this is ok? Silly Pants has pretty much grown out of it. There are days occasionally that he will get up early but it doesn't really bother me, since many days he doesn't wake until 7 or 8. Who woke me this morning??? Mini C! Really child?? I mean he was the one that stayed up till almost 9pm last night. He should have slept till at least 6!! So I had to run and get him, go downstairs and turn on Hi-5. This is his favorite show. I think he would watch this all day long if I let him. No - I do not let him!! Although this morning we watch numerous episodes - yes we have them DVRed! So - today should be interesting. I don't think he will be able to stay awake until noon - when I like him to go down for a nap. Especially since he will be home with Husband. Husband is not that great at keeping him awake at home. He tends to let him fall asleep on the couch. Which really messes up the whole day! Oh well. Whatever happens will happen and I will be the one to make sure it all runs as smoothly as possible. Regardless if I have been awake since before the sun shown down on our home!

I'm Back & hopefully to stay!

So life is crazy - what's a normal week for me?? Here we go let's see if I can get it all out and not forget anything
Monday's - wake up (usually before 530 thanks to my two blond boys) make Husband his lunch and send him on his way, make breakfast for the boys and myself.
Get Silly Pants to school by 9am. Then drive to church for a 915 bible study/time with other adults that will consist of talking about things other than when they need to go potty or that they got hit with a ball.
After that - either stop by Sam's club for a couple of things we may need (or maybe not need), if BF is off then maybe stop there.
Then off to home to make lunch and open the door so Silly Pants can come have lunch with his brothers. Put Mini C down for nap, Put Monkey down for nap, relax for about 15 minutes with Silly Pants and then to put dishes away. After nap really depends on the day. If it's nice then OUTSIDE they go. With any luck Husband will leave work on time at 4. Get home at around 430 and then dinner time! - Yuck, just realized that I have only written for Monday....

Tuesday's - mornings are the same EXCEPT we have to eat 15 minutes earlier because Monkey has to be at PreK at 845am. On days when two are in school - Target is the goal! When I'm down to one then shopping is so much easier! After doing errands and having fun with Mini C it's off to pick up Monkey and get home in time for Silly Pants to get off the bus - then lunch and naps all over again....

Wednesday's - they can be tricky depending on what the date is. Mornings are like those for Mondays - However is the Wednesday 2nd or 4th of the month then it is off to MOPS right after dropping off Silly. MOPs goes up until I have to race home to be there for Silly. Then it's lunch and nap all over again....

Thursdays - those are much like Tuesdays EXCEPT on these days I know Husband will not be coming home at a normal time - meetings he must attend that go till 4 hold him there and then he must help those who are so helpless!! So he doesn't get home till closer to 530/6 - YUCK!!!

Fridays - very nice and much like Wednesday's except no groups or anything planned - that is the day we will usually plan to get together with a friend or invite someone over... If nothing is planned - it becomes a MOVIE day!!

So the week really doesn't sound to bad but that is a week with no extra things - extra things you ask??? oh yes! There are so many things that get stuffed into the week - here are a few examples....
Doctors appointments
Shots
Emergency Doc appointments for ear infections, colds or any other infection
House inspections
hair cuts
conferences
sports
Dentist
Going to BF's to install, remove, replace, move or destroy something
Playdates
The list is endless - these are just the things I have had to do in the last few weeks...
But let me add - with out counting in all the extras that come up on average for a week with no extras - I put the boys in and out of the truck 31 times. That is in a 5 day span - only counting up until the noon hour...and again - no extra events going on.....

So even with the life I lead and the chaos I live in I am going to try to get back to what I had - a blog about all that is going on in my life, my boys life or just plain irritating me and I feel you should all know about it!
