I always try to document last days just like the firsts . . Not only was today the final full school day for Jayden as a 4th grader and Kyler as a 2nd grader, it was also my last official day as a stay at home Mom and Evan's last full day of ruling the roost *tears* boo hoo!
MORNING: Woke the boys up at 6:35, fixed coffee, packed 2 lunches, made breakfast, told the boys to get dressed (at least 2 times, prob. 3!), put their socks on them -- Yes, as they lay on "their" couches in the living room dressed for school and watching cartoons I put their socks on their big boy feet! I asked Jayden if he was going to let me put his socks on him when he was 16, he just smerked. They put their own shoes on and everything else - but for some reason - socks are all mine:) It makes me take notice of just how big they are -- I mean those are some man feet on those boys! Then we are out the door and headed for school.
DROP OFF: Me in my jammies and Evan in his - we head to Ledbetter to drop off Jayden, then on to the next stop - Williams to drop off Kyler. Today, Evan wants pancakes - usually I have some homemade ones in the freezer- but I am out of egg replacer (dreading going to the hippy store to pick it up) so we wheel through McDonalds -- I mean he's ruling the roost today for his final time!
HOME DUTIES (take 1): At home I do a mad dash pick up, make beds, fold and do two loads of laundry, get dressed and hit the road to get errands done.
ERRANDS: We HAVE to get an oven today for the condo because we leave tomorrow - so to Springdale we go! I have been pricing these things for weeks and THANKFULLY there it is, in stock and it fits in my car - wahoo! Small prob - (after it's loaded) - I am suppossed to pick up 2 extra kids today after school and I now have an oven taking up my entire third row seating! Quick panic call to Brittney and arrangements for Payson and Jayden are made, disaster overted!
JR LEAGUE: Onto next duty - Jr. League . . . to Rogers we go! I buy a surpluse of shampoos (like 100), 50 blankets and an assortement of sizes in childrens shorts and shirts (one full buggy let me tell you!). Load all THAT in my car, then to the JL storage unit to unload all THAT! wheh! DONE and still within my pre-set time limits for the day!
MORE ERRANDS: Now, back to Fayetteville we go! Quick stop off at Harps to grab stuff for dinner and after school snacks, and chocolate milk and finally back home we are!
HOME DUTIES (take 2): Unload groceries, get some food in Evan (it's after 1:00 afterall !), switch out laundry AGAIN, vaccuum the carpet, load the dishwasher, wipe down counters, dust in living room, sweep and mop the floors, clean toilets (I live with 4 boys - it MUST be done daily) - it's 2:15 now - load Evan back in the car, head to the carwash, vaccuum the tator tots out of the back seat and head to Williams to pick up Kyler and his friend Drew.
PICK-UP: Now, a second to breathe - because I get to sit in the car riders line for a minute. . . the perfect time to call the granite guy, book CoCo for boardng this weekend and send an email about the delivery for Jr. League.
BACK HOME: after school snacks in kids, Brittney drops off Jayden and Payson, Jalee plays for bit before they head home, 5 boys eating, playing inside and out, grabbing popcicles, drinks and cookies . . . cook dinner (Tacos, because boys have baseball tonight), take Drew home, Kerry, Jayden and Payson leave for bball game.
Now -- darn it -- WHEN am I suppossed to eat bon bons and watch soap operas:)!
