Summer School

I didn't even wake up this early when I was in school! Now I have three little ones to get ready and go. This is how the morning goes:

-I wake up, look at phone. Think to myself, damn I'm tired. Close eyes. Tell myself not to fall asleep. Fall asleep for a few seconds, wake up, sit up. Crack my neck and back and think to myself how sore I am, and hope the pain goes away and I don't get a migraine. Shower.

-Go in Kaelei's room, try to wake her up. Try again. Try again. She moves a little. Try again. Tell her we can't be late or her teachers and I will be upset. Tell her again. Tell her we're running late. She's disgruntled, but gets up and out of bed. Sometimes she says she tired.

-I show her the clothes she's wearing. Usually she says she doesn't like them, but usually later she changes her mind. o.O
-Sophie usually wakes up by this time because of the noise. She's usually happy in the morning. =) Yay, a happy child! She doesn't take after me, I'm a crabby morning person...

-Wake Eli up, try to feed him while brushing the girls hair & teeth.

-Eat, tell the kids we have to hurry.

-Put shoes on. This is an ordeal. One of the girls usually wants the shoes that the other one has on. Kaelei wants the shoes Sophie has on. Sophie doesn't want to give up her shoes. I tell them we have to hurry again. I start to walk into the garage, which is my signal that we're leaving, so hurry up and pick out your shoes! This usually works.

-Get in the car. Sometimes the girls fight about which car seat they want. I settle it somehow.

-LEAVE FOR SCHOOL. This is like heaven time for me, it's almost like ME time. I can listen to my music and there is usually no fighting because they have their movie to watch in the car. I like to get to school early, so I get a front parking spot.

-We walk Kaelei into her classroom. She gives us each hugs and kisses and gets her name tag on and then vanishes off into the room to play. I am so happy she loves summer school... it's her big girl time and she loves her friends and the fun activities that they do.

While Kaelei is at school, Sophie, Eli, and I play. I'll weed the yard, or do other random house work outside or inside. I really should read more. I wish... I wish I had the ability to tune out noise so I could actually comprehend what I read, but with the kids here, my ears are like mouse ears... I hear everything.

SOOO... here I sit typing this out. Today I weeded the front and back, and ate the sugar (aka sand) that Sophie made for me. I need to write more about the kids... I was so good at that before but now it's hard to find quality time for it.

I need coffee.

I LOVE my Tassimo. Mmm....

Dogs are barking like crazy. Eli is in the hallway pointing to the door and saying "box! box!" Little cutie. We have our hands full with him! He's always climbing and trying to get into stuff!

Must get coffee!
