Crazy Day

Today was a crazy day!  It seemed to start off okay but it was made a little crazy when Kaydra called me at 1:30 to tell me that she was supposed to play the violin at school for the Christmas program.  Oh – and she needed her violin that was at home --- and the program started at 2:30 – Oh – and I was at Kohl’s which is about 25 minutes from my house!!!! So I had to scratch all the plans I had and head back home to pick up her violin.  I couldn’t find her music and Timberlyn was hungry but I didn’t have time to feed her so I made her a bottle so I could feed her during the assembly at school.  With all the rushing we made it to the school at 2:20 – in time for her to tune up and get ready.

We saw Kaydra and the rest of her strings group perform.  There were only six of them so it was much different from the concert earlier in the week.  Their teacher wasn’t there – he had another commitment.  They had a hard time getting started by themselves – all of them have only been playing for about  four months and found that keeping in rhythm with each other is harder than they thought it would be– but once they got going they did pretty good.  Kaydra also played with Marimbas at the assembly.  This sounded awesome and much better than they did outside last week because it was loud in the gym.  She is doing great with both programs and I feel lucky that they are available to her.

While we were watching the performance I fed Timberlyn the bottle that I made.  She rewarded me by filling her diaper and getting it all over her clothes and mine while we were sitting there.  I just zipped up my jacket to cover my now pooped-on shirt and wrapped a blanket around her to cover her clothes and we finished watching the assembly.  Then we went to the car and changed her into new clothes.  I had to still wear my yucky ones, unfortunately. (Do  I need to start packing extra clothes for me in town now???!!!)

We (Me and all 4 kids now) ran to the post office to get the Christmas cards in the mail and stopped at a couple stores to do some things that I had hoped to do earlier.  We all made it home and I could finally change my clothes.  YUCK!!

All in the day of the life of a mom with FOUR kids!
