1/14/10

I have been inspired!  (thank you Adam) With all the crazy things going on I have decided to blog daily.  What about? Probably about my family since they are the center of my life.  So here is to day 1!

The morning started out normal with 2 girls crying that dad was not there, and Brayden searching the house for "dad".  Brayded would only respond to me if I called him "Braydenman" (like Spiderman).  I did have an amazing surprise when I went to get coffee.  Travis set up the coffee maker for me.  I finally had warm (not burnt) coffee this morning.

I am still in baffled that it takes me over 20 minutes to get all 4 kids in snow gear and into the van before I can leave to go anywhere.  Bridget no sits by the shoes and watches and "the big kids" get all geared up.  You might find her stealing a glove or boot from time to time.  Brayden just like to bug his sisters as he gets ready, oh and poop.  Every morning this morning I get them all geared up and realize that I need to change Brayden's poopie diaper.  Then Bridget brings me her jacket and boots.  As each kid is ready to go and we double checked the back packs the line up in the laundry/mudroom and wait for me to get a jacket on.  Off to school we go.

I made the mistake of grabbing Marisa's snow pants this morning for Rebecca at school.  That did not go over well with Marisa.  I didn't realize that snow pants were so special.  So she wasn't happy going to school today, but I am sure she will get over it quickly there.  Dropped Rebecca off at pre-preschool.  She about pushed me out the door.  She loves seeing her "friends" and teacher.

Then off to "shopping" I go with Brayden and Bridget.  Just the normal middle of the week run when I realize that milk, diapers, and bread are almost gone.  Though today was a little bit about mom getting out of the house while the sun is up high in the sky.  The kids loved it!  Well, for the most part.  Still trying to go to the bathroom while holding Bridget and begging Brayden not to leave the stall makes the trip no fun at all.

Well, they should be napping but I am hearing crazy noise up there so off I go to put them back into bed.
