Sleep will feel nice tonight!

Morning started out fine today.  I got the 2 older kids on the bus and Griffin to daycare and I even got to work on time!

I have to pick up Connor from pre-school at 12:00 and then drive him to daycare.  I am usually late.  I notice the time while I am working about 11:20-11:30 and think to myself "don't forget to pick up Connor."  So what do you know the next time I look at the clock it is 12:05!!  Good thing I am only 2 blocks away from the school.

Well today was and exception I left work to get him at 11:55!!  Mark it on the calendar.  I went into the building and he was waiting in his classroom.   As I walked in I said "Hey Connor mommy is here and not even late!"  At that same time his teacher was handing him a sticker so I said "Connor, what do you say?"  (Expecting a "thank you" to his teacher.)  No....he said to me "Congratulations mom!"  I laughed so hard.  That was awesome!!

After work I went to pick up the kids from daycare.  Griffin runs up to me and is dressed in a pink and black dance costume.  Like a long sleeved leotard with a skirt on it!!  He was so proud.  I tried to take it off of him and he through a fit so our daycare lady let us borrow it for then night and he wore it to the grocery store!  I don't think dad was impressed when I told him about it.

So after the grocery store I got the kids and 3 bags of my 5 into the house.  As I am going back out to the van to get the last 2 bags a lady drives up from a local phone, cable, internet company and wants to sell me her products!!  I wanted to say "NO" because I JUST got home after work, after picking up the kids from daycare, after going to the grocery store and I just wanted to make supper and get us all settled for the night.  But of course I didn't say "no".  Instead I invited her into my home that is an ABSOLUTE mess right now.  I have a basket of clean laundry (at least it is clean) on my couch, the kids pj's are on the living room floor from when they took them off this morning and didn't put them where they need to go.  I have jackets on the floor, and the list could go on.  She was so sweet and told me she understood and that she raised 4 boys!!  I think she was just being nice because she could see how frazzled I was.  Needless to say I bought her products tonight.  I am an easy sell.  Although, I did call my husband to get his input and he was all for it.  

Whew, as soon as she left I put the groceries away and started supper.  It is kind of funny, I swear Connor has a radar that tells him exactly when I am going to starting cooking because he is pulling up a chair to the counter/stove ready to help.  He is my little chef.  He LOVES to cook with me.  One day he just stood at my spice drawer and was opening up all the spices and smelling them and asking me what they were!  I  use to not like the kids to cook with me, to much of a control freak, but God is changing my heart in that area and is blessing Connor and I with some fun 1 on 1 time.  I actually enjoy seeing his interest and wanting to help.

Well, Michael is at Worship Team practice - he is the drummer for our church worship team - and I need to get some laundry done and get the children to bed.  Then I am off to bed where I will crash and hopefully sleep soundly for the next 8 hours!!  YAY!!

Happy Friday tomorrow!  I love my weekends!!
