Scrambled

This is  your brain on motherhood:

(fried...but in the best way!)


 

Clearly, we have too much going on right now...

Saturday morning, I was so proud of myself.  Lunches for 2 children with all-day ballet activities done the night before.  Rides for those 2 kids arranged.  Everybody up and out early.  Other 3 kids ready to go in time for Yo-yo's first confession (including fancy curled hair for yo-yo's Nutcracker rehearsal later in the afternoon).

We arrived at church on time.  Small miracle. 

And there was nobody there. 

Did I have the time wrong?  Well, sitting in church for an hour would certainly be of benefit, so we waited. 

Finally, 45 minutes later, Yo-yo's CCD (Sunday School) teacher came in for an unrelated reason and confirmed that we were off.  By a week.

We made it through the rest of the day, including having the girls' friends over in the evening, shuttling Kid118 to and from a birthday party, and remembering to make a salad for a funeral dinner the next day. 

Sunday morning, we got out the door, I remembered the salad, and we were only 10 minutes late for CCD (which is only slightly problematic because Daddy and I teach the 9th and 10th graders - thank Goodness they're mature enough to hang out while I get my act together).  Daddy was working.  I couldn't find an ice scraper, so used my ingenuity (haha) and scraped the van window at the last minute with a Tupperware lid. 

After Mass, dropped the boys off with my parents for my nephew's basketball game and picked up my niece.  Went home and had some afternoon down time, went grocery shopping, picked up one child who was ready to come home, and got everybody ready again for an event we'd been planning on for several weeks. 

At our local 4H fairgrounds, there is a Christmas in the Country event each year.  This time, our little club decorated a tree for the contest.  Voting is by money dropped in a jar next to your tree.  I wanted to make sure ours had at least a couple bucks in it. 

We bundled up, loaded in the car, and drove 30 minutes to an empty parking lot. 

I was off again.  By 24 hours.  See how I'm improving? 

Oh well!  Hope you have a blessed and unscrambled week!!
