How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

In the Name of Love

in Uncategorized on 04/07/09


Simply because I love them:

Today I:

*2:30am Walked Hubby to the door and kissed him goodbye so he could catch his flight to North Carolina for his Golf Trip. Told him to have a good time and meant it!

*7:45am Drove BlueEyes to Choir Practice. Came home, started coffee pot and convinced SweetGirl she was not too tired from our morning jaunt to go to school.

*8:50am Took SweetGirl to School (Okay so I kind of had to do that one)

*9:00am Shower, Laundry, Vaccum (ug), Work on Fundraiser for School, and yes read some lovely blogs 🙂 Run!

*12:10pm Picked SweetGirl up from School on her lunch break and took her to Piano Lessons.

*1:30pm Took SweetGirl Back to School.

*2pm Ran around like a crazy women picking up groceries and two birthday gifts for upcoming parties. No…not a party I would be attending, the girls. Went to the bank. Grabbed much needed coffee.

*3:30pm Picked up both girls.

*4:15pm Allowed yet another play date for both BlueEyes and SweetGirl. (not one of those play dates from hell)

*6:00pm Caved and let the extra kids stay for dinner. Put on more coffee.

*6:00pm Made said dinner, fed all kids, sent extras home and squeezed in homework!

*7:30pm Did not yell or cry when my kids stomped and fussed because they had to have a shower when “we just had a shower like a day ago!”

*8:20pm Got the kids in bed. Sigh. I made it.

*8:30pm Put SweetGirl back in bed with her second glass of water and tucked her in.

Yep, this is it, living on caffeine and love, the best of life in the Suburbs. Already looking forward to tomorrow.

    Squee! It’s that time again — planning another #HomeExchange getaway!
Leaving the house behind and headed to Ontario cottage country. 🌲☀️
The hubby and I are planning a 7 night lakeside escape just a few hours from home, and honestly, this is where the girl math really starts mathing. After an expensive year, I’m extra grateful for our HomeExchange membership — and I love browsing all the gorgeous lakefront homes nearby!
