Well, today was a pretty normal day. We tried to sleep in. Not happening. So a cup of coffee later I managed to clean up the living room, dust, vacuum, wash windows. Tanner got the girls dressed and breakfasted, and then we put them in the car and drove out to this little house in the middle of nowhere that wanted to get rid of a dresser for $20. Brought it home and distributed the girls clothing a little more evenly so that maybe, just maybe, they might be able to keep their room clean. Why do I keep fooling myself? I know that no matter how many shelves, containers and boxes I get their room will still be messy. Why? Because I'm their mom.

So, then after a yummy tuna salad lunch that Tanner made, I made a second cup of coffee and taught lessons. Tanner took the kids to a park and an ice cream. Swung by to pick me up and we went to register me for THEA testing on Saturday. Then I made dinner and ate with Tanner while the girls played outside. Tanner started to tear out their bedroom wall to insulate it, and I helped by caulking in the cracks and vaccuming up all the dust. Then Georgie started to fuss, so I nursed her until she fell asleep at which point my first evening lesson showed up. So, Georgie went into her crib and I taught. Unfortunately, Georgie doesn't like to sleep through my lessons, so I heard Tanner go in and pick her up. I heard the soft whump of the nail gun and wondered how he was managing to take care of Georgie and finish the wall. After I finished teaching my evening lessons, I found that he had put Georgie in her little jumper-roo. So, I picked her up and joined the girls outside for a few minutes and watched them make chalk drawings. Then I fed them. I sat down and rocked Georgie to sleep, put Reagan to bed, gave Kate a shower, found my half drunk cup of coffee, half a water bottle and a dirty bowl in the office. Cleaned the kitchen. And the day is done.
