Today was a crazy day. We are juggling cross country, soccer, and football, along with everything else that goes on in our household. Here's a glimpse of my day...
-Groan because my alarm clock went off at 6:20 a.m.
-Wake up my son...and then off to get ready
-Wake up my youngest daughter at 6:57 a.m.
-Get yelled at for waking her up 3 minutes early
-Make "cold oatmeal" (YUCK!) for my daughter
-Fixed her hair while she ate oatmeal
-Picked oatmeal out of her hair
-Fought for room in the bathroom to brush my teeth
-Finally got out of the house and off to work
-Spent my day at work...then came home to meet my kids off the bus since my husband got called in to work
-Got a contract for an article in the mail (Yippee!)
-Finished work, checked homework, and taught my son how to mop the floor
-Gave out unlimited TV night for his willingness to help clean
-Picked up my oldest daughter from cross country
-Turned around to get the book she forgot in her locker
-Got home just as my son was leaving for football
-Made omelets for my girls for dinner
-Made myself a healthy chicken wrap
-Burned the chicken wrap while trying to correct algebra homework at the same time
-Took my youngest to soccer practice
-Went to the grocery store during practice
-Helped my oldest daughter with English homework during practice
-Worked on my worship devotional for Sunday during practice
-Came home to realize I forgot to tape Survivor
-Helped my daughter study for a health test
-Made my son a dinner of pizza rolls (healthy, I know!)
-Watched my dog bite my son's nose trying to get the pizza rolls
-Collected massive amounts of laundry from every room in the house
-Tucked in 3 kiddos
-Sat down to the computer to check email/facebook and write this!!!
-Now I'm off to balance the checkbook and then spend time in God's Word!!!
I am so grateful to be blessed with the opportunity to raise my kids. My life was simply boring before them!

Enjoy them while you can. My days of running kids to practice and checking homework is over. Now when my hubby works nights I am home by myself. When they were young a prayed for just one evening all to myself. Now, I appreciate the chaos. Have fun raising those kids!!!
