Are you tired?

You might be when you get done reading what all I did yesterday!!

I got up before the kids so that I could exercise on the Wii for half an hour, of course Max got up and I had to escort him back to bed as it was much to early for him to be up. Then I showered, dressed etc...

I put together some notebooks for the boys, and got breakfast started. It was a pot of oatmeal. Did a load of laundry and supervised the boys doing their chores.

Ate breakfast, did clean up/chores. Had family scripture study/prayer and started school. Did another load of laundry.

Did what is becoming the norm, got all the kids set-up and spent the rest of the time either keeping up with them or organizing school stuff. Then I got lunch made, directed clean-up/chores and laid down with Max to take a nap, I was already tired!!

Got up before he did and made phone calls, and took care of paperwork. When he got up we went to the cabin to pull more nails and take the garage further apart. I helped Than get the horse ready and got him on, supervised his riding while I picked tomatoes, cucumbers, broccoli and flowers. Then we came home for dinner.

Dinner was chicken teriyaki with rice and fresh steamed broccoli. Then the older kids left with Brent to pull more of the garage apart. I stayed home with a very cranky Max and cleaned up from dinner and did some planning. Then the crew came home and we had family prayer, got teeth brushed, showed Dad what the kids did in school and got everyone tucked in and snuggled. Then Brent and I planned for today and FINALLY it was time for us to go to bed!!

Tired yet....I was!! Today it's more of the same, except we have piano from 10:15 to 12:00. But we're very blessed, the piano teacher comes HERE, to our house!! Than and Collin are continuing their lessons and Lee is getting started this year. Then this evening I have a meeting at the high school for a trip to Ecuador that Amanda is taking next summer, and Brent has some meetings at church.
