Hey Guys,
I deleted my last post that was an hourly breakdown of my Tuesday.  I was feeling sorry for myself, and I wanted you to join my party.  I felt bad about it later though, so I deleted it, never imagining that anyone would notice.  But of course, moms notice these things.  Dear Mom wanted to hear about my day.  :)

Well, suffice it to say, the day ended well. If you already read that post, you may skip this paragraph:

The 2nd flat in a week was able to be plugged so that we didn't have to pay for a second tire.  Our tire people are very nice, with a pile of children's books in their waiting room.
The quick run-down is that my morning quickly became a race of coffee chugging, tire fixing, Lola gymnastics, target, grocery store, lunch, nap, swim lessons, pick up a crib bed mattress with my twin sister (whose labor could start any hour!), back to gymnastics for the big girls, home by 7pm to slap together a sandwich for dinner, ride my stationary bike, Daddy gets home in time for mommy to escape to the shower, and finish off the night with staring at the wall. :)

I had decided to not drive anywhere the next day, but Nathan invited us all to join him for lunch, and I had totally forgotten that we still had swimming lessons for the rest of the week. HA!  My brain.

I kind of knew the 2-week stretch of swimming lessons in Owasso would make our days a little crazy.  It's been worth it, though.  Kate has officially changed what she wants to be when she grows up, from a doctor to a swimming lesson teacher.  That's how much we love Miss Lisa.
Things will get back to normal next week...until Ange has her baby!

I used to type structural reports for my dad every evening after he'd done his daily inspections.  Colicky child #1 always sat in my lap while I typed, until she'd nod of to sleep.  When I had child #2 and found that it was too difficult to juggle it, Ange took over the reports for me.
It's been almost 8 years since I've done report work!  Just yesterday Ange gave me a little report-typing refresher so that I can take her work for a week or two after she has Audrey.  I'm actually looking forward to it.

Well, it's time for piano lessons, Sam's, and more swimming lessons.  Then it's the weekend!!!!

I did read the hourly breakdown and was amazed that you could get your kids to two activities in a day. Everything you write is encouraging to me.
I have two daughters .I'm hoping to get out more and have time for all of their interests as the years go on. They are 3 and 5 years old.
I have no idea how I stumbled on your blog but I read every post!
