we're all tired. they all wanted to share about their days (and i wanted to hear about them! but ONE AT A TIME!) they were throwing piles of papers at me to fill out (BY TOMORROW!) lunches needed to be made. dinner needed to be made. baths needed to be taken. little boys wondered where that fun mom went that played with them all morning. i forgot to keep my shoes on after getting home with the kids after school and remembered once my feet started killing me after walking circles around my kitchen for 4 hours.
lincoln has been taking 2 hour naps for months. i wasn't sure how today would go - no nap. so, i was proactive and had him lay down for 30 minutes after he got home and had a snack. he was OUT in 2 minutes. and went to bed FINE tonight. i think we'll keep this up for awhile...it was also nice to have a few minutes to just hear from joshua, bailey and rebekah! they couldn't get a word in when he was awake.

i am glad you said it because i always feel guilty admitting it, but i hate the afternoons too. and i hate that i can't figure out how to "manage" it better. or maybe i need to figure out how to better manage my attitude. i am sure that is probably it. and i only have two coming home with paperwork and trying to talk to me all at the once etc. this has been the biggest and hardest transition for all of us so far this school year. until this year, they have always been staggered in coming home. we will figure it out and it won't be quite so crazy. but for now, i feel like it is so chaotic! so i will be thinking about you as i am going through my crazy afternoon. well nevermind - let's be realistic. i won't be thinking about you because i won't be able to even have a complete thought during the afternoons. but it is just nice to know that someone else feels the same way that i do! ;-)
Crazy isn't it.....the DAY really begins at that point...once they walk BACK in the door! Ugh. I remember. Hang in there.
Yep. The hardest part. Still trying to figure that part out too. All the same stuff....plus throw in nursing a brand new baby. Rough.
all the papers!!!!
