On a Daily Basis

On a daily Basis.... I get up way too early, fix 1 glass of orange juice,1 glass of apple juice, 1 glass of ice water, 6 mini pancakes, and one cup of cheerios or fruit loops, 2 cups of coffee one with lots of sugar and creamer and one black. 3 snack bags with snacks, 3 juice boxes, 3 chips, 2 sweets, one package of PB crackers, one bag of wheat thins, one sandwich or lunchable, 3 napkins with notes written on them. I help brush 2 girls hair and fix 1 with something sparkly, make 1boys hair lay down. I help button 1 mans dress shirt sleeves. and feed and water 1 dog. take 1 shower and dress 1 lady. Drive 3 kids 2 school ,wave at 5 teachers who all know me by name. I drop off one mans dress shirts at the cleaners, and go to 1 job. I fix numerous problems, & pray numerous times. I clean 2 houses weekly, do about 12 loads of laundry, sweep 10 times a week. Talk to one old man 8 times a day and 1 young man 4 times daily. Pick up 3 kids from school, Cook 5 dinners a week and 1 dog again each night. WOW! I am tired!!!! But today all that changes. NO MORE SCHOOL!!!! Our daily routine changes. We will leave old friends & familiarity. And move to new school, new teachers, new friends, and new principals. With that comes new adventures and new things God can teach us through change that he cannot teach us any other way. Sweet time relying on him for our steps as they are unfamiliar and a little scary. But teaching our children how God can use these circumstances to bring about great things He has in store for them. Although our daily routine may change HE never Does!!!!

Every morning, I sit in the brown leather recliner, covered up with a blanket and WAIT for my kids to get THEMSELVES ready! :-) Sometimes I have to yell at both of them...Hurry up and finish your cereal!! Get upstairs and brush your teeth!! *sigh*

Also, I know you hate to leave your school, but I'm thinking you'll get involved and everyone will quickly know you and your kids and everything will be A-OK!!

The man in my house would HATE it if he had to wear shirts with sleeves that button!

I was just thinking about the whole change of routine thing. As much as I've been looking forward to it, it has thrown me completely off today! I have been confused all day long!

Yea for the end of school!!!!!!!!!!
