WEDNESDAY... AKA a great and dreadful day

starts out with tired grouchy kids... late night of soccer on Tuesday

continues with a grouchy 3 yr. old helping with Intermediate School (grades 3-5) pictures

a forgotten lunch date with Isabelle (still having problems with girls in school)

a crotchety old bat called a secretary telling me I have to call ahead to spend an afternoon with my child at a PUBLIC school!   

(no, I'm not a little BENT!)

followed by a teacher explaining to me that I would be disruptive to her assessing & how if one parent spends the afternoon at school EVERY child would want their parent to come to school with them, HMMMM... wouldn't that be nice, a parent volunteer everyday!

A very ticked off mom leaving a crappy school thinking multi lettered expletives (& I thought I had gotten rid of those!)

Then starts the after school piano lessons & Isabelle's after school meltdowns.

After 2 hours of piano, running kids all over in between lessons, & on our way to Sam's soccer game I am literally unraveling faster than Aladdin's magic carpet.

Isabelle is screaming & kicking my seat at this point & the volume on the radio begins to increase.  

I can now feel the music vibrating under my feet & the speakers are past their max.

A magical thing happens... all the noise stops!

I turn the music down... Isabelle starts in again... the music goes up... the noise stops...

I tell her if she is quiet I'll turn the music down... we enjoy low volumed music the rest of the drive!

Kids jumping on me during the game

Snickers & M&M's for everyone... 

even though they are $0.75 a piece... 

anything for a little cooperation!

The game ends, we load up & off we go... 

Ryan feeds everyone while I take a little time out in our room.

I have the best partner in parenthood I could ask for...  

thank heaven for that!
