On my mind tonight...

Here I am. 8pm. The big kids are finally in bed. Todd in snoozing away and Brooklyn is using every excuse under the sun to try and get out of her room. Not asleep, but none the less, in bed. Cole is on the floor, trying super hard to roll, happy after recently finishing his one daily bowl of rice cereal (come on! 5 hours of sleep in a row tonight again!) and I should be doing a million other things. There is a pile of top romin from dinner on the living room floor mixed with some broccoli that Brooklyn pulled out of the fridge from last weeks bountiful basket. The kitchen sink is full of dishes. Really, if I think about it, I think almost all the dishes are in the sink. I had a bowl of cereal after putting Todd and Brooklyn down and I actually pulled a plastic spoon out of the picnic stuff because I didn't want to wash one. My house is full of dirty laundry. Kids are out of pajamas, Todd is dangerously low on clean underpants, the bag of wet clothes from last Saturdays swimming party is starting to threaten stinkiness, and, lets face it, it's time to wash and replace all the sheets on the beds. The delima, only have 2 dollars in quarters which means I only have enough money to do one load of laundry. So what is more important? Lets see... defiantly underpants and.... hhmmm..... should I mention the poop I cleaned out of the tub? Nah. My mind is spinning, but the quiet feels so good.

I taught Joy School today where we had a blast learning about the letter H. I volunteered to teach on Thursday because of all the crazy schedules this week. (Michelle, you should bring Jack on over. Logan is gone so I have room for another body. Thurs 11-12, my place. Your drop him off and then pick him up, that's it. The rest is up to me. Text me and let me know if he is coming!! :) Looking forward to Thursdays lesson. We are going to have some fun. I decided not to focus on a letter but to have a craft or cooking activity. The wheels are turning and I am really excited about the possibilities. Also found out today that we will be losing one of the kids in a couple weeks. His family got into a bigger place and that is exciting (I can totally relate to having 3 kids in a 2 bedroom apartment) but I will be sad to see their family move out of our complex. Although, hopefully we wont be too far behind.

My diploma arrived in the mail a couple of weeks ago and Aaron is anxiously counting down the next 5 weeks until graduation and then hopefully we will be able to say goodbye to this crazy town and hello to a nice house with a fenced in back yard, dishwasher, washer and dryer, garage, hopefully a master bathroom and a couple hundred more square feet. Behold the wish list. Just thinking about it brings a smile to my face.

Well, maybe I should tackle the romin noodle on the living room floor and while the kids are down, decide what needs to be washed more and spend those last 8 coveted quarters. I also need to make some dinner for my hard working hubby who will be home soon. Lets see, pan- nope, spoon- nope, hhmmm spaghetti-0's it is.
