Have I even started? Noooo.
Monday, well, you know what happened Monday. Zane needed some attention. Then I had 7 piano lessons in the afternoon. By the time I was done it was time for dinner, Family Home Evening, then bed. After everyone was snug in their evening cocoons, I lay on the couch with my nightly whimper and "I wish I could lay on my stomach" comment. That day was shot.
Tuesday I dropped half the brood off at school and took Hannah to her eye doctor appointment, which she was 11 months over-due for. It was clear in Scottsdale and took half the day. After sitting in the car for 1 1/2 hours, then in a waiting room for another 1 1/2 hours Zane had had it. As I was checking out I asked Hannah to take Zane out to the waiting room to play with the toys. They were gone for about 3 seconds when I heard a crash and then an apology from Hannah. She brought him back to me and said that he had pushed 2 kids. How did he have time to push 2 kids in 3 seconds, I wondered. When I entered the waiting room I saw that one of the victims was a poor little girl with a shaved head and deformed eye. How did I know she was one of the victims? When Zane reappeared her mother jumped up and grabbed her to keep her safe. Poor little thing. By the time I got home I needed a nap. So did Zane.
After-school involved picking up kids, giving piano lessons, fixing dinner, dropping kids off at Achievement Day, picking up Curtis from the Open House at school, picking up kids at Achievement Day, dropping off friends after Achievement Day, warming dinner for Curtis, washing Grace's hair that Zane had dumped sand in, and falling on the couch with my nightly whimper and "My crotch aches" (too much info?) comment. Needless to say, that day was shot.
Then dawned today! The sun seemed to shine brighter at 6:00 a.m. than it did yesterday at the same time. An omen that today was my day to get 'er done!
I want to have at least 4 boxes of stuff to donate/throw away by Friday. That really shouldn't be a problem with all the crap that we have lurking in our cobwebs.
I hope Zane does this alot...
I really need him to play by himself today.
Wish me luck!
