TGIF!!!

Was up and at them early this morning since I was going it alone! I got the girl's lunches packed and then went and laid back down for just a bit! Once it was time to get up with the boys I went to make them oatmeal and remembered we didn't have any milk - crap! So I had to make them pancakes! Then we all got dressed. I got lunched packed and then once I got Little man and Gman on the bus I took a quick shower and then CJ and I ran to Wal Mart to get a few last minute things for the 3rd grade party! Then I came home and exercised and worked on a few things. Then we had lunch. Finally at 1:45PM CJ and I headed to the school. Jenn showed up we started getting things set up and finished up the goodie bags. Then parent volunteers started showing up at 3PM and while some of them helped a lot of them just stood around! Finally at 3:45PM the 3rd graders came in! We took a head count and dealt with a few students that didn't have permission slips and then we got them divided up into groups and let them eat! Then we started playing the games - we had 4 of the stations in the gym and it was HOT!!! I was running my butt off and I swear I was sweating gallons!! It went by pretty fast and most of the kids were well behaved and all of them had fun! Parents started showing up at about 5PM to pick up kids and then at about 5:20PM there was a stead flow!! Most of the kids were gone by 5:30PM and only a few parents stayed the whole time to clean up. Then Laura, Jenn and I were stuck there till 6:20PM because a parent forgot to pick up their kid, we were calling and leaving messages! Ugh!! Finally we could leave and I had to rush home and unload the van, then S helped me put the back seat back in. We dropped R off at the Jr. High and then I took the kids through McDonald's drive through and then dropped them off back home for S to watch. Then I rushed back to the Jr. High to watch R's talent show. 

It was late starting and we were there till 9PM - I was freaking beat! I came home, ate some Thai food I had T bring home for me and then I went straight to bed!!! It was a long and exhausting day!!

It's Thursday!

So we were up and at them at 6AM this morning and we didn't head back to bed :-( T had to leave for Ohio by 6:30AM and I have so much going on in my life right now I need every spare minute - so I cleaned until the boys got up!! So once I got everyone fed and out the door, CJ and I headed to town to drop him at his school! Then I came back home and Jenn came over and we spent an hour chatting and filling goodie bags. Then I spent the next 45 minutes typing up some lists for the 3rd grade party that I needed to email to Mrs. Bradley and then the last 15 minutes before I left I hurriedly packed a lunch for CJ and I!! Went into town and got CJ and then we headed to Mack Park! We ate lunch with Laura, Chase, Elle, Joshua, Chrissy, Braden, Amy and Alicia - well Chase, Elle, Joshua and CJ ate - the other two went off to play. 

We were there till just after one and then we came home! I sat and typed up the form stating that school district does indeed acknowledge our new PTA and then I called the Administration office to see who I could get to sign it for me and notarize it! I got a quick answer and they were willing to fit me in so CJ and I headed up there! Then we went into East Pike to get some slips from the PTA box and then we came home! The boys got off the bus and then I had to run into the Jr High at 5PM to pick up R. I came home and made spaghetti and meatballs for dinner and then me and the boys ran S to the high school for Madrigal's practice at 7PM. Came home and rushed Little man and Gman through their showers, got all 3 boys in their jammies and then back to the high school by 8PM to pick S up! Once home I sent the boys to potty and then put them straight to bed! Then I sat on my office floor watching Youtube videos and making paper plate "paddles" and blowing up (by mouth) 23 balloons for Balloon Badminton tomorrow!! Now I'm writing this and gonna hit the hay! I am whooped!! CJ and I have some running to do in the morning so I'm gonna turn in!!
