Homeschooling a Houseful

Wow, this day ended with a bang

A busy Friday, I was up early for my normal morning routing. Only did 45 min of cardio at the gym because I have to be at my meeting at 9:30.

Kids have things to do, Friday is not a normal school day for us so the boys will keep busy, most likely with legos. My meeting went great, we got a lot accomplished and I was home from the meeting at 2:30. I had texted Heide for her and Haylee and Hilarie to be ready when I arrived. I picked them up and we went to Costco to pick up some groceries and we were home by 3:30. We do Costco fast. The girls wish we could have taken longer.... samples you know.

4:15 take Heide to work
5:00 Friday night is always cereal night for dinner. It is the kids favorite meal of the week, but not mine (I picked up some Panda after dropping off Heide at work).

After dinner are chores of course includes folding the two loads of laundry that I did manage to get done in my brief stops at home today.

Then just hanging out with kids until bedtime. I love our relaxed evenings, reading to children and talking.

7:15 I leave to get Heide from work and my day takes a turn....on the way home...I turn onto our block and there are 2 girls on one bike. One girl on the handle bars and the driver of the bike I can't see. They aren't on my side of the road...to begin with anyway. But they are swerving so I just stop the car...and watch them head straight for me, hit the car dumping the girl on the handle bars onto the hood of my car. I got out and one girl immediately apologized. I firmly told them how lucky they were that I had stopped the car. I suppose in hindsight, I should have gone to talk to their parents. I got back in the car and felt immediately sick to my stomach. I am so thankful that I had stopped the car. Thank you Jesus, for putting me there at the right time, allowing me to make the decision that kept this from being a horrible event.

Ok, so now I need to print my grocery list for Wal-mart tomorrow and then it is craft night. I think I will put on one of my favorite chick flicks...oh wait, I need to watch this weeks LOST episode. I found some cute Mother's Day cards online, I need to make one for my mom. Ice cream...yeah, that will make me feel better too. Just a little bit, I don't want to blow all the calories I burned today on ice cream.
