Just another crazy day!

If all were calm and uneventful around here I think I wouldn't know what to do with myself. Today, after getting just a couple of hours of sleep, I got the kids off to school and came home to nap with Julianna until 11.

Then I had to get the girls from school due to early release. We ended up eating at Taco Bell for lunch where we ran into a friend. They immediately got all giddy and LOUD, and I had to laugh. It took me back to when I was in junior high and we would just go sit outside the mall watching people coming and going waiting for our ride, the whole time giggling out of control for no apparent reason. I suppose I am just thankful that for the most part they are happy girls! Even though my head hurt and my patience was thin due to the lack of sleep.

After lunch I left Taco Bell with just J, as Alexis was picked up by a friends mom to go play, and Megan went with our friend we bumped into and had lunch with. Since I was down to just one child I decided to go shopping for Megan's party and some much needed groceries. What a joy to shop with only one child!! I was in and out in a jiffy and went to pick up Francesco from school. He was so happy to see us and Julianna was delighted to have him back with us. Recently I have noticed that even though his loudness can make me cringe, Julianna finds it very amusing and he gets reactions out of her that I have never seen before. She was actually chuckeling at his monster noises. I have to admit it was fun to watch them playing together.

We headed home fed Julianna and hung out till the girls came back. Then we headed out to math night at the school. I tried to make sure I sat with each of the girls for at least one activity and I really had fun with them.

We got home about 7:40 and ate the dinner that I managed to get in the oven before we left. I thought it was pretty good but the kids didn't go for the mushrooms and onions they saw in the caserole dish with the pork chops. Oh well their loss.

After completing homework, and taking baths and showers everyone was in bed by 9pm. I would say it was a good day here. It could have been much more hectic if we had gone to soccer training and Tae Kwan Do, but due to math night I didn't want to make us crazy running non stop. Sometimes I enjoy the evenings when there is less to do and we can just relax a bit. Most days I feel like I run on Adrenaline!
