Just Getting Started

Last night around 7:30 the urgency of everything that needed to be done hit me, so before 11pm I managed to do 4 haircuts, finish getting secret sister gifts together, spoon feed two babies, get Mikey to help me cook dinner, (chili dogs, thank you) cycle through the last 3 out of 7 loads of laundry I'd done that day so everyone would have the clothes they needed, go to Wal Mart and get an extra water bottle, band-aids, a camp journal, head cover, and an anniversary present for my husband with $16 in change made at the girls' lemonade stand. I came back, put the babies to bed, ate my dinner, and helped the girls with the thousand miscellaneous tidbits they have to do to get packed and ready. I took a shower, talked to my husband for a minute and fell soundly asleep.

The babies woke up together at 3. I let the one cry long enough to wake up her sister so I could get it all done. Then my alarm clock went of at 6:30. I had to help find neckerchief slides, pack lunches, find non-paper lunch bags, find boy's jeans (in the garage) and review checklists. While I was at it I found a whole backpack full of wet clothes from Boy Scout camp!!

Mike had to be at a client meeting at 9:00, but he was able, at least, to take Isaac to summer school because it was on the way. I had to get the girls to the stake center at 7:30 and the boys to our chapel at 7:50. This is not Utah, so there was a 15 minute drive between them all--In theory. We just changed stakes, so I have never been to the stake center. I could not find the street that was written on the directions I had received. I drove around for a long time trying to find it and get back to where I could look for it since it was off of a 1-way access road. I never did find it, but I thought there might be a chance to make the cub scout carpool. They were now 1/2 hr late, but I got a call from the Cub leader asking where we were, and told them we were on the way and sorry for the delay.

I went home to get contact numbers for the YW leaders to see if I could catch them somewhere or if I was going to have to drive the girls to camp myself. Camp is not horribly far away at a little over an hour south of here. Fortunately, though, I was able to catch them. I came home, ate breakfast, fed babies, uploaded video to my computer, (don't expect to see any of it) and took a nap while it was transferring.

Now I have to put on a bra and go pick up Isaac from summer school. I am loving summer vacation.

Oh, and Happy Anniversary to the love of my life. Hopefully I can tidy up my bedroom and fold all that stinking laundry today. Oops now I'm late for picking up Isaac. The bra stays off.
