I have three kids

[pretty cute]

Well, yesterday, today and tomorrow until 6:30.

A seven, ten and fourteen year old.
[kids of Bryan's boss that we are baby/house sitting for while they are out of town]

Here was my evening last night:

4:30pm: got off work

4:45pm: got home after driving through a hail storm [stressed me out]

5:30pm: drove the two younger kids to swim lessons

5:35pm: turning at a stop light I heard click click click in the back seat coming from the seven year old, turn to the ten year old and she says, "He's being a blinker."

6:30pm: come home from swim lessons

6:45pm: help youngest one with homework & make dinner
[chicken nuggets and fries]

7:00pm: collect dishes from dinner and put in dishwasher

7:30pm: relax with kids and remind them it's time to start winding down and that it will be time for them to go upstairs and read soon

8pm: remind kids again, it's really time to go upstairs this time

8:05pm: reminded youngest one again, he was pushing it

8:30pm: had both younger kids in bed and caught the last part of American Idol
9:00pm: exhausted. and that was only day one!

Oh, and did you know that the reason turtles smell bad is because they fart?

Yeah, I didn't either. But those are the kind of things you learn when you acquire three kids over night.

All you mama's out there,
I'm tipping my hat to you, fo sho.

So if I'm not around much today, it's because I'm busy bathing, bussing, or bossing the kiddos around. It's good practice for someday right?

Oy vey - say a little prayer for me ;)
PS - hope you all are well and having fabulous Thursdays!
