Many people ask me "how I do it?" I don't.
Ask Jeni.
She came over to take me to a birthday lunch-yes I turned 39 this week,or 39teen as I am telling people. I was still in my pjs, I smelled, my house was a mess-not the oops mess- the something exploded and wow I should be turned in to the health department mess, and A was naked except the dog crap on his legs( long story). I called her at 4:38 and told her to come back that I had had a shower, my house was clean, my kids had all their school work done and dinner was cooking.
Here is a Tuesday
B was up at 1 AM 3 AM and the 7 AM.
We are a family of 9 people and if we want to get our family photos done- Target requires me come during the day, soooooooo I scheduled it around A(15) study hall.
We went in at 10:30.I brought Scott for crowd control, good thing as I forgot the coupon. Scott went back to get it- but it had expired. $7 in gas for that mix up .
The photo shoot went relatively well and amazingly fast. One hour and $84.
I took A to school, S to mother's help (we barter for Spanish class).
and went home.
We ate lunch.
Did our school work for those who are home schooled.
Laundry
Food Guy came (that is another story)
Made calls to the Relief Society President and phone tree for the free food.
Then it was time for college. E and S go to the Literacy Program at SJFC.
A had to be picked up from basketball try outs- so Scott had to get him while S and H did dinner.
We all met at the Church for YM/YW, Achievement night.
Dinner in the car.
Did I mention that the Mormon Men called at 5 to tell us that A had to be there early. UGH!
There was a a YW Special Night, sooooooo I had to find a baby sitter for my three youngest. Who plans a special night on the night where my three oldest and husband are gone with callings?!
I dropped off my load of kids for Scott to feed and took the already fed to the baby sitter- except A HADN' T eaten. I had ten mins to get my kids to the sitter that was 20mins away . Now I had to stop to get food too.
Luckily no cops as I was going 80mph in a 35 to get back in time for S part.
I made it back in time to nurse B while listening to my daughter explain that someone in our family is going through a hard time. She had fasted and prayed that they would be helped. She felt the Holy Ghost, and would continue to fast monthly for this person. WOW she is amazing.
We get home at ten PM- Scott stays at the Church to help A and for a mtg.
NO one came to pick up the food which A(3) had scattered all over the house, the house is a wreck and I am beyond frazzled, I am done. I will deal with things in the AM. We all head up stairs. Did I mention I have had a fever for a few days?
Wednesday I wake up in at 1,3 5, 7 AM with B n. I also have pain in my boob that is worse than labor. There is NO way I want to nurse. I have matatsis or whatever it is called.I call it a boob infection. Great.
So in the AM on Wednesday now,I go downstairs mad at the house fairy for not coming over the night to make my house look like a magazine.
Breakfast.
Call other people for free food to be distributed.
And Jeni comes.
I smelled and needed a shower.
The Cheesecake Factory does not pass the 7kidsandadog test. The food was yummy- the atpmoshere was nice ( kindda reminded me of Speghetti Factory which didn't last). The Chessescake was great, but there is no way lunch for two people should ever cost $30 ( plus tip)and my waitress punched me

Wow. What a schedule! I've never had mastitis, but I hear it's the worst. I hope it's getting better. . .
Maybe if I start believing in the house fairy, I'll get some help around here! I love the concept. I'm sure enjoying your blog! -Camille
