wonder woman?

haha! i read a couple different blogs and magazines, and they often feature "a day-in-the-life" profiles of moms and their families. yesterday was a nutzo day, but also (sadly) about normal! so i thought i would do "a-day-in-MY-life"

5:30-alarm sounds....snooze button
5:40-alarm sounds again...but i can hear sweetpea in her bed "more milk, more milk"
5:45-make coffee, make milk for sweetpea, start the kids breakfasts, and make little mama's lunch
6:00-wake up the big kids (the boy is already awake but waiting in bed for me to come tickle him to get him out of bed!)
6:05-the boy is munching on ceral, ellie is on her second cup of milk, and little mama is working on her second breakfast taco...
6:20-clean up breakfast, herd children into living room to get them dressed.

3:00-3:30-still working on those dang butterfly templates...
3:30-pack up the butterfly supplies to work on at home, hustle out the door to meet with little mama's teacher
3:45-4:15 - conference with little mama's teacher. say a little prayer for a good day on wednesday
4:25-get home, get little mama a snack, get her homework out.
4:30-5:30-mow the front and backyards...while saying fevrent prayers that i NOT get hit by the lightning flashing all over the sky, in advance of a big ol' thunderstorm moving in. have to finish the lawn, today is my only option.
5:30-finished just in time....whew! super fast shower!
5:40-hit walgreens...return redbox movies, pick up two bags of candy for little kids school...

8:20-stuff 4 doz eggs for the little one's egg hunt the next day
8:40-dump more clean clothes on laundry mountian...one of these days i WILL get all those clothes folded and put away. however, it won't be tonight...
9:00-back to the dang butterflies!
11:20-finally finished. at this point i have cut out 40 butterfly wings, 120 body part pieces, and 640 dots of assorted sizes, and put each child's supplies into ziplock baggies, with craft sticks, string, and pipe cleaners as well!
11:30-bed. finally.
11:45-or not. why is sweetpea crying? oh, she's lost her passie....
