While the Cat's Away (keep reading 3 posts in 24 hours)

Randy has been out of town on business all week. So what is a mom of 4 to do while Dad is away? Let's just say a Mom's work is NEVER done.

1) Cut Turner and Ansley's hair on Sunday night. (No, I'm not brave enough to do Sawyer's hair by myself)
2) School for Sawyer on Monday, Wednesday and Friday
3) Karate on Monday night. (Kids weren't in bed until way after their bedtime)
4) Tuesday, we woke up late. Kids were in pj's when OT arrived for Sawyer's therapy. We survived.
5) Tuesday night, basketball practice for Judson. (the other 3 had to tag along)
6) I was brave and took them to eat at our favorite restaurant on Tuesday. That went well. However, on the way back to the car A and J ran out in front of a car. I now have many more gray hairs than I had just a few days ago.

7) Lots of books being read and dress up. Cool to the bone, even in a purple dress and squished Easter bonnet.

My little Bag Lady

8) Rain, Rain and More Rain
9) Thursday night, more basketball practice. I put everyone in bed by 7:30 so I could have some silence. LOVE IT!
10) Friday. Pray snow/ice doesn't hit Newark Airport. Meet friends for dinner(YES with all 4 kids. Hey, if the friends are Crazy Nice enough to meet me with 4 kids, who am I to deny them the blessing of being with my kids)
11) Hope Randy makes it in in time to meet us for dinner (or all plans are off and I have yet another night of keeping the littledevils angels all by myself)
12) Saturday, go to Amelie's birthday party!!!!

Honestly, it's all gone very well. They've done well. I, on the other hand, am ready for my dear husband to get home. Can I just say, the "you owe me" card will be played for some time to come. I have 4 very good kids. They do as well as any children their age do.
