the zoo is a whirlwind

Yep, thats us. Whirlwind.  I thought I was busy and tired when the kids were little.  Wrong-o.  Oh for the days where we came home from work and played in the floor till bed time.

Now its like a relay race, and I am the time keeper.

For example, last week went like this:

Saturday: H had an audition at church for the spring play.  Had to go shopping and pick up a present b/c she had a birthday party/sleep over Sat night.
Sunday: pick H up, go to church we are there from 930-1 -home, eat lunch, clean, laundry, prepare for the girl scouts.
Monday: Girl scout meeting for H.  E went to the daisy/brownie meeting that meets at the same time.
Tuesday: Have to take mom to the doc. Parent meeting for E's GS troop - E has soccer practice.
Wed: Have to surrender the cat to the animal rescue league, church for KingSinger practice (H' got her part!) - find out on the way home, oh by the way, mom, I made the second round of the reading fair and its tomorrow night
Thurs: H has reading fair, E's soccer practice gets canceled (whew) and then we realize E has a fever.
Friday: hubby takes E to doc b/c I have a meeting I cant miss, I pick up H and she has another birthday party sleepover.  E starts her antibotic before bed - bad news, it doesnt sit well, so shes up all night with vomit.  Have I ever mentioned I do not do vomit?  Cus I don't.  I cant.  if I tried, hubby would have two messes.  Never have. ever. Cant.  Thank goodness hubby can handle it!
Saturday - sleep till 9 - thank goodness.

And this doesnt include the f/t job I have, or the craziness surrounding cookie season! With two grant report deadlines careening toward us, my boss and her hubby about to be on maternity/paternity leave.  Systems crashing, databases with the wrong info in them, and oh by the way, lets start a leadership class.

Next week: GS field trip, GS cookie orders are due, more practice for choir and soccer.
If you dont see me for a few days, I'll be in my padded room in whitfield!!!

but I am GOING painting Tues night - I need the stress relief, and I love the title "just breathe"  I need that!!!
