A Day in the Life

*Note* I am writing this only for the purpose of looking back in a few months and reflecting on the past months after the fire and before our new, normal life begins

Today:
woke up at 5:30 after being kicked in the ribs all night by a sweet little boy who is having a hard time staying in his bed all night. cooked bacon and eggs for breakfast. cleaned up from breakfast. homeschooled. went to post office, bank, store. lost bank card. again. drove back and forth from here to the store looking for the bank card that I left on the back of Marc's truck. no luck. confessed to Marc that I have now lost the bank card for the third time this month. he laughed- thankfully. cooked chicken and made chicken salad for the workermen. delivered lunch to the workermen. sanded cabinets to get ready for staining. took kids on a hike. cooked bbq chicken, mom's macaroni and cheese, corn on cob, and watermelon for dinner. cleaned up from dinner. fed lonely piggy. fed and tended to horses. took out garbage for pick-up in the morn. rounded up the herd of children now covered in dirt after a long day. bathed kids. bath water was brown. read four books, kissed four now clean faces, tucked four kids into beds only 1/2 hour late. sat down for the first time today.
I can't wait to look back in a few months when life is normal and laugh at what we did to get there. I was thinking today that it really stinks that we will be spending our Memorial day weekend working on the house the entire weekend, but soon, we will be enjoying the fruits of our labor, so it will all be so worth it in the end!! Now, I think I need to go fold laundry to top off my day of fun!!
