Most day's you wake up feeling like your a maid, a referee, a chef anything but a mom. The kids are yelling and you have those 4 baskets of laundry to fold. Then there are days like today!I baby sat for a friend for the third day in a row to help her while her regular baby sitter is out of town. He is a great kid but just turned one, so he's busy! Today mom was here to get him around 130. NO Problem! Adam was going to be home by 3 so he could take Alexandra to her violin lesson as I had Makenzie's cheerleading at 630. Well, I realized when my friend picked up her son that it was almost 2 and I had not heard from Adam (not a good sign as he was working 2 hours away!) So, I went into super mom mode also known as fast forward and in our house crazy! I got Makenzie into her cheerleading work out clothes and got her hair into her braids/pony tail for cheerleading. The got the other two changed and their hair done, clean clothes and out the door. One mad dash in the house for Violin we almost forgot and off to Reno-only a 45 min drive... WHEW made it to The Violin lesson 45 min there, left there (late) got stuck in traffic! Some how made it from the other end of Reno to the Park in Fernley in 26 min. (I wouldn't ask too many questions here) Threw one cheer leader out of the car signed her in, got the update gossip and dashed home, dinner in oven and listened to Plug your ears 20 min of "E" practice-that's running the bow across the note of "E" again and again and please God let her hit the note!!! over again.
And in 15 minutes I have to run and get one cheerleader from practice and feed her! Im beat! But as I sit here and write this, I cannot help but feel truly fortunate! We could not have dreamt of the kind of life our children have when we were kids. Neither Adam nor I had parents that could afford violins and cheerleading nor did our parents have the time to chauffeur kids around to their activities.My hope is that my children never have to wish for a dream that they cannot afford. Hopefully, Ill get some pictures and put them up soon of the girls! They are getting sooooo big.
