Wednesday's Happenings

6:30 ish Woke up, prayed, exercised, showered, and got ready for the day. I've been sleeping till about 8:30 this summer. Although, I really like getting all my 'stuff' done before the kids wake up.

Somewhere in between this time the kids woke up and were fed and dressed.

8:30 Watched my friends boys... all 3 of them. I know, totally not like me. But, it was the Long boys. They are my favorite! One is going into 5th grade, one is Michael's age (they were in the same class at school last year), and the youngest is Maggie's age. They play so well!

10:30 Boys got picked up. We headed to the grocery store.

11:45 Made and ate lunch. One of the neighbor girls joined us... my own little mission field. She stayed a few hours and played.

During this time I was preparing food for dinner and playing referee. The neighbor friend needs a bit more attention.

3:00 Took dinner to a family that just had a baby. So cute! My kids love holding babies... even if they're crying.

4:00 Came home. The neighbor girl was back to play for a bit.

5:00 Ate dinner.

5:30 Left to go to my sister-in-laws house. Jamie was helping John with some landscaping stuff. The kids and I hung out and swam in their pool. It was so relaxing!

10:30 Came home.

Crazy huh? It seems like this has been a typical schedule for us this summer. Frankly, I'm tired of it. It's really a lot for me. I used to do one thing a day. That was actually a struggle for me. I love staying at home. But, I've prayed about it and really wanted this summer to be fun for my kids so I force myself to get out more and do things with other people. I'm slowing down starting tomorrow. This list of stuff that I did is just a small part of my week. It seems like every day has been like this. I have a pile of laundry to prove it!
