* Another Random Day of a SAHM

Yesterday was yet another day of various and unrelated activities. A snap shot of our day...

  • Three loads of dishes in the dishwasher (this is a sad commentary that I let my sink overflow to the amount that it took two loads to clear it out, and then another load after dinner)
  • Constructing a diorama of an underwater scene for a first grade science fair project. We let this one go until the day before it was due. We did however do all the other home school subjects in advance, leaving us the entire day to create the project. Deep breath for mom so that she allows the project to look like a first grade project.
  • Cleaning the downstairs in preparation for guests (college students). A slow, tedious, band aid removal one hair at a time type of process, which requires mom to stand there and keep small children focused on cleaning.
  • Slide preparation for our children's ministry at church. Three weeks of skits - done, now Judah can tweak them to his hearts content.
  • Seven trips in and out of the house to play in the snow, which has turned into more of an ice masquerading as snow substance. This hybrid substance leaves deep nasty gashes on little girls foreheads. (He wasn't aiming for her HEAD, just her person in general) We are now sporting a very lovely Hello Kitty Band aid.
  • Breakfast (cereal and milk - spilled on the carpet), lunch, (corn dogs), and a big dinner complete with homemade noodles, flank steak, and steamed broccoli with mustard glaze. The dinner makes up for the sad little lunch.
  • There were also phone calls, a paper to edit, emails, and other general chaos to manage, including a computer that is beginning to get quite temperamental..

That was yesterday...
