Working too much today.

Got up at 5:30 with K-Wiggles and we had a little breakfast and then she played with her barn in my office while I finished up some work that needed doing. Then I dropped the kids at school, went to spin class, worked at the coffee shop for about an hour, picked up the kids at school, picked up the nanny/housekeeper, did some work at home for about an hour, met up with the carpet cleaner to show him what I wanted done, took Miss D to WalMart in search of padded panties for the littles who are potty training (with lots and lots of accidents!), took Miss D to karate, took Miss D and her friend Ian home to Ian's house (his mom and dad were stuck shuttling their other kids around town), got home, took the nanny/housekeeper home, fed Miss D, and got everyone in jammies by 6:00. Phew!

Then Daddy-J got home and put everyone to bed while I ate dinner and started working. I worked until about 11:00 while Daddy-J went to hockey and came back home. Now I'm taking a little break while my co-hort in Hawaii reads over what I've done so far and I can decide whether I'm going to get to bed at all tonight.

Don't you wish you were me?! Seriously, these are the days that make me wonder why I try to "do it all."

Goodnight Moon

Edited to add a new version of the photo...



*************************************************************************************




Goodnight Moon

In the great green room
There was a telephone
And a red balloon
And a picture of -

The cow jumping over the moon
And there were three little bears sitting on chairs

And two little kittens
And a pair of mittens
And a little toyhouse
And a young mouse

And a comb and a brush and a bowl full of mush
And a quiet old lady whispering hush

Goodnight room
Goodnight moon
Goodnight cow jumping over the moon
Goodnight light and the red balloon
Goodnight bears
Goodnight chairs

Goodnight kittens
And goodnight mittens
Goodnight clocks and goodnight socks
Goodnight little house and goodnight mouse
Goodnight comb and goodnight brush
Goodnight nobody, goodnight mush
And goodnight to the old lady whispering "hush"

Goonight stars
Goodnight air
Goodnight noises everywhere .....

Margaret Wise Brown 1947

Sister Love!





And about three seconds later... K-Wiggles took a header off the kitchen counter. The kid literally landed on her head... scared Mama-V almost to death! But at least for a few seconds, they were happy!
