Get up, make breakfast, jump in the shower, look at the clock and realize I am running late AGAIN! Then take Dawson to school, run a few errands, go get my shot, go to the bank, go to the beauty supply house, and then pick up Dawson and head back home. Get home about 12:30 make lunch for the boys. Let them eat it outside on the small deck that we have right now and then let them have an overdose of otter pops.
Cole then gets hurt tells me he wants to lay down and sweep so I take him to his bed and turn on his humidifier for the noise factor and say nighty night.
Then Daws asks me, "Mom, do you want to race me to see who can do puzzles the fastest?" I am so not wanting to but say "I would actually love to BUT I have a lady coming to get her hair done and I need to clean up lunch and vacuum the floors, and put all your toys back in the toy room." He then heads straight to the closet and yanks out the vacuum system and says, "mom, I will help you cuz the faster you get done then the more time you will have to race me with the puzzles!"
So I said, "Fair enough little buddy!" and he vacuumed while I cleaned up the kitchen and we had a puzzle race! He won.... again!
I am loving that he is thinking this way, and hope he continues it in his adult life. I could use myself a little helper! (it is 10 hours later and the vacuum is still out, hmm how do i trick him into putting that away next time?)
Did hair, made a quick very unhealthy dinner, chatted online for a bit, got the boys in their jammies and they read books for awhile, then ran and got a few things at the local grocer, remembered I had forgotten to return a key and some hooks to my Aunt and raced them over there.
Home again and it feels GREAT to be HOME! (i love being home) Brush two sets of little snaggles and prayers are said and off to slumber land they go!
That is my day.... if you are still reading this and if you weren't bored before you sure are now! Sorry this is what happens when my hub leaves town.....
