I do believe I had one....
The other day when my husband came home from work late he asked me how my day went, I said fine, the he asked what I did that day...
I woke up at 5, (yes there is a 5 in the morning too)
made coffee, did devotional while drinking coffee, checked email after my first cup of coffee,
@ 6 am, I proceeded to wake up the children (those who are still sleeping... KRYSTALLYNNE)
Argue with Ezekiel over why he can not wear the same shirt from yesterday (ignoring the fact that he slept in it)
Give Gianna her meds (still fighting off that ear infection) and begin to make lunch for my big kids.
Listen to them fight over the bathroom (Krystallynne is the only person I've ever know that doesn't pee first thing, it takes her 10-15!)
Fix breakfast for them while arguing with the little ones about why I don't make them "lunch" too anymore (they usually eat it for breakfast in the car while droping off the other 2 at school and promptly through their trash on the floor of my van)
Argue with Krystallynne over her clothes, Where did I leave my stinking coffee now????
Yodel the customary song of "15 minutes..... brush your teeth!!!"
Argue with Tristan over why he wears his under wear backwards while dressing him (even managing to turn them around properly)
Explain to Gianna why she cannot yell at Zeke, after all, he wasn't even touching her, while dressing her.
yelling now "7 more minutes" routine count down ya know.
"Krystallynne your hair looks fine honey GO PUT YOUR SHOES ON (for the4th time)" I'm sorry Honey I wasn't trying to be mean, I didn't mean to make you cry, now goooo puuuuuut yooouuuurrrr ssshhhoooooeeesssss ooooonnnnn plllllleeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzz." (puberty remember?)
Thinking let's go then seeing I need to get dressed... Can you please help get thier shoes on?
While dressing I hear Tristan whining, he can't get his pants on over his shoes ( he went pee only to find his under wear on "wrong" and forgot to put his pants back on before his shoes)
Gianna telling Krystallyne off, "mommy got it!!" Krystallynne crying cause she won't let her help.
I manage a clean shirt albeit backward and inside out, ITS CLEAN.
Final war cry... "Let's GO, Out the door, come on folks, blah blah blah"
Finally in the car at 7 Zeke forgot his back pack, how? I dunno but he was proud He remembered to put his lunch in it.
Off they go to school, errands to run, doctor's office, post office, bank, grocery store (I need creamer) In and out they go of the car seats. FUN FUN FUN!!!
Perfectly behaved children in the waiting room, we get called back and the fight over who gets to sit where climbing up and down "stay outta the trash!!" Doc FINALLY comes in ( wasn't that long, but seemed like FOREVER!) Trying to talk to the doctor Tristan is tapping her, then hitting her, "Hey,Hey, blah blah blah" can you hush kid? I love you but can't you see grown folks are talking?
Doc is great, patient, whatever, can I get that refill of amox and go please? It's already been a long day...
Now we gotta do the pharmacy on the way home...
Running around the post office, ("yeah their cute, still dunno if imma keep em") Just smile and nod.
Now, they run around me in the bank, thankfully it was so early it was almost empty. We practice saying bribery cause they can have candy when we're done. (Some ladies look at me like I lost my mind, assuming I ever had it to begin with) pulling hair and hitting (I wasn't, they were! they beat me too it!) Temper tantrum at the grocery store they don't wanna sit in the cart, Passerby has to tell me how silly I look rolling all over the floor throwing a fit. ( I wish I could say I was embarrassed, HA) They are surprisingly well behaved.
$4 creamer trip cost me $15 but hey at least I didn't have to throw another fit. Remember the prescription only AFTER we were loaded back in the car!!
Back home they watch a movie and color while I clean the kitchen, laundry 2 loads to start
clean the living room, talk to husband on the phone, consider making coffee
"stop fighting" "share" "love one another, ect"

kids wake up, hot dogs for lunch, wait...? did I eat breakfast? inhale something,play legos and house(same scenario over and over again)
Redress Tristan (he likes to strip for nap time)
Go pick up big kids, come home , consider making coffee once more
start dinner, (things go crunch underfoot) help Zeke with his home work (see previous blog entitled Homework)
set table (continuously playing referee and negotiator)
finish dinner with Krystallynne's help, why does she want to help? or be around me? I have developed quite a talent of making her cry unintentionally) (be patient Tiffanie, this too shall pass)
Oh well too late to make that coffee now....
In walks my husband with "So, Whad ya do today?"
And I, Well, I say "Nothin'"
