This is how my day went today:
- I sweated my ass off (not literally unfortunately) walking the kids to school and daycare and then home with some shopping; and
- Looked after a baby for a friend - which took 6 hours instead of the 1 it was supposed to and was a very loud time for me as the baby cried on and off the whole 6 hours (thanks for the help with this one Logan); and
- Got absolutely no housework or studies or website building done because said baby is rather clingy; and
- Sweated my ass off yet again picking the kids up from school - which was rather eventful what with Zay cracking it and running off and Logan having to chase him and then Zay screaming the rest of the way home; and
- Looked at my website finally, but by then the brain had already switched off so I just closed it for the day; and
- Picked up Bay, resulting in a lovely walk in the cool cool breeze (finally a plus) only to;
- Decide to be rid of the spiderwebs on the front screen door/window, when Izzy closed the front door behind her only to then find that we were locked out.
Luckily a wonderful couple two houses up, who, by the way, don't speak much English - which of course didn't make them any less pleasant, but did cause a bit of awkwardness when I had to tell their maybe five or six year old daughter what I wanted so she could translate it - helped us out by lending me their phone to call the front office for assistance and then the lovely male of the couple rode his pushy down to the office to collect and then return the spare key for me.
This kindness actually made my day.
So after a very long and mostly unproductive day, I'm chilling out with the kiddies for a movie night. A very nice way to end a stressful day! You know what else lifts my spirits? Seeing this;
Cute right? That's Fireman Ted right there, getting all dressed up for dinner. Gotta be ready you know? Never know when the stove might catch alight.. especially with Izzy cooking ;-)
Yours in this crazy world of parenting,
Sami :-)
