a day in the life...

I just want to preface this by saying, I know this is "normal" and that you are all doing the same thing!
I woke up at 6:15am, got Kennedy awake, made coffee, fed Kennedy, got her on the bus by 6:45. I then emptied the dishwasher and sat down to cup #1, while I watched the beginning of the Today show. Mac woke up then and had "tee-teed" in his bed, so I got him in the tub, stripped his bed and got his laundry going. I washed him, got him dressed for school and fed him breakfast. Emerson woke up and I got her in her high chair, waffle (Corey did get her breakfast), and I got dressed to work out, got my contacts in etc..., got Emy dressed, switched the laundry over (Corey mowed the lawn...yes at 8:00am) and got into the car at 8:10 to take Mac to school. Dropped him off at 8:30 and Emy and I went to Walmart to pick up those stray items that I always forget! We get to the gym at 9:10, I jump in to an aerobics class (that started at 9) and do that for 45 minutes, then get on the treadmill and run 5 miles (I am training for a tri-athalon...right Molly?) then do a 45 minute "total tone" class, which is weights, and abs. So then at 10:55, Emy and I leave to go to the library, where we quickly select 2 videos (like she even watches anything except Barney) and I get 2 books, and we go to pick Mac up by 11:30. Then we go home, I make them lunch, and I start making dinner (tonight is lasagna/salad/bread) because I will not be home from the cheer gym until 8:30. So then at 12:30, Emy is ready for her nap (me too!!!) and Mac is playing on the computer, so I make dinner and confirm with my babysitter what the plans are and at 2:35 I have to leave to meet her (the babysitter) and she is taking my 3 kids to a soccer game, and then meeting Corey at 6:00 for Kennedy's soccer practice (he is the coach) and they practice until 7. I drop them with Ashley, go to the cheer gym and coach my first team 3:00-5:00 (they are short a base, so of course I fill in). Then a class from 5-6 and a team from 6-8. I have completely forgotten to eat today, wait that is not true, somewhere I squeezed in another cup of coffee and 2 (yes 2) pieces of birthday cake! So I got home at 8:30 and I just had lasagna, and another piece of cake (whoa...too much cake eating going on). I have taken the trash out and started the laundry again, and now I am checking email! I stink (did I mention that the cheer gym has NO AIR CONDITIONING!!!!! oh yes, and we live in Mississippi) so it was hot and muggy and disgusting. So I am going to take a shower and go to bed, hopefully before 10! Because my 6:15 calling will come too quickly!

Hottie!

Funny how you can look at someone everyday (and night) for the last 12 years and still last night he looked so hot! What a cutie!!! We were going out for my birthday dinner and I was sitting on the couch talking to our babysitter (who is one of his soccer players) and he walked into the room, and I said "Oh isn't he so cute?" And of course she didn't know what to say, about her coach and all...funny. What a cute husband!

mac's 2 bible verse

Now what is this about! The first verse he says "all sheep gone astray" and his second verse "But He was wounded for our transgressions" What kind of a verse is that for 4 year olds!!! Whew, this was a hard one, he didn't get it until Thursday (he has to say them on Friday).

old age

okay, when I wake up in the morning, I will be 37 years old! Crazy, but this seems old! The last time I had a "problem" with my birthday I was 30, and my friends (who were all quite younger than I) consoled me and said it would be fine...and it was. When I was 35 I was pregnant with Emerson and therefore distracted from thinking I was old(er). Last year I made a huge road trip to Texas (Corey was on a soccer trip) and I did not want to be in Mississippi on my birthday by myself! So (logically) the only thing to do is pack up a 7, 3 and 9 month old and drive 8 1/2 hours, spend 2 1/2 days and drive back!!! So this will be better, Corey is home, I will wake up in my own bed and I am sure my family will dote on me all day! Regardless, I will still be 37 (and then 38, 39 ...) and I am now old enough to have birthed some of the cheerleaders I coach!
I just thought of this song that is on the kids cd "Jonah was a prophet Ooooo Ooooo But he never really got it Sad but true" Anyway the sad but true part is where I am going with this...it can be sad but it is the truth and you cannot change the truth!
