This week

My children have had the joy of going to Vacation Bible School (VBS) this week. I was a little nervous for them and they were too. So far things are going well...that is except for my daily routine for work.


For starters, I am working everyday this week as VBS is everyday this week. Then we have my morning schedule. In order to get myself ready, my kids ready, feed them a healthy breakfast (scrambled eggs, toast, fruit) that is instead of filling them with sugar, make the 40-45 minute drive and still get all my hours in for the week I am getting up at 5:30 in the morning. The things we do for our kids.


Tuesday morning was ridiculous because each of them got a little crazy with their breakfast. Madelynn crammed so much cantaloupe in her mouth that the cantaloupe juice had no place to go but out her mouth all down her clothes. Can't blame a girl for loving her fruit. Katie and Jack had a fight with their cups of milk and lost. I thought I was going to lose it before we got out the door.


The rides to work in the morning are usually my personal time for just me. This week it has been drowned out by the sounds of Cars, Finding Nemo, Maddie singing, Katie and Jack fighting and then tattle tailing on each other. By the time I was getting to work I was exhausted.


Oh but the best part was that I was getting to the office at or before 8am. VBS did not start until 9am. This meant I had three little munchkins in my office for about an hour. I was smart enough to go to the dollar store a few weeks back and buy new crayons, coloring books and reading books to help pass the time. Believe it or not I did get a few things done. But so did they.


Over the last few weeks of school Katie was bringing home some of the best art work. Some of it qualified just because it made me laugh. I decided I would decorate my office door with it. It would remind me everyday why I go to work and yes they are worth every penny.


When the kids saw the door they felt it was not decorated enough so each day they have been making more things for the door. I thought I would share what my door at work looks like.





I know we aren't supposed to wish our life away but, I will be so glad next week to enjoy my drives to work alone I might just have to do it in silence to truly appreciate my only time alone, a few days a week.
