I haven’t felt very overwhelmed with my kids in the way of busyness. We keep things pretty low key over ere, and we like it. It works well for us. I’ve had a busy week so far, and its going to be busy for the next few days as well, specifically in the evenings. And for the first time, that I can remember, I’m feeling like there are just not enough minutes in a day.
To be fair, I require many minutes in my day to be restful. I need rest once in a while. So I don’t like to go go go every day of the week. Its hard for me.
So. Its Wednesday. I haven’t done dishes probably since Monday. I put a load into the dishwasher today, and it wasn’t even half of what was waiting to be washed. So the kitchen is still a mess.
Laundry hasn’t been touched all week.
I won’t be able to be at Dekker’s pumpkin carving event at school tomorrow.
*remember to send pumpkin to school tomorrow*
*remember to send carving kid to school tomorrow*
*remember to put Dekker in costume tomorrow*
I really need to get to the city soon. Today, Brady is going to pick up some costumes that we’re borrowing from some family (THANK YOU!!) but there is more to be done. Formula is on sale, so we have to jump on that. I need a few things for Saturday, which I’ll talk to you guys about more on Sunday. I have to actually put a costume together for Laela, which will be super easy, but still needs to be done. Most of those things can be done in one shot, but I so badly want to be home today!! Rather than loading everybody up right now, skipping naps, putting on my big girl pants and getting stuff done, I’m waiting until Brady is off work and making him meet me so I can do some running into stores without all the kids.
Still this week, I have all evenings filled (except this evening – YAY!) and I want to carve pumpkins with the kids, put together Halloween costumes, and we’ve been talking about test driving a different vehicle. Also, Brady REALLY wants to put up our outdoor lights before more snow flies.
As I said, for the first time ever, I feel like there isn’t enough time in a day. Part of that is just because of how we do our life. We like to rock a relaxed pace, and we like to do things together. I want Brady there for pumpkin carving! I don’t want to just do it in the day without him, and I know he wants to be there too! But I’m gone all evening, so what else are we supposed to do??
I guess its good that the problem is that we want to spend more time together than we’ve been able to recently. It could definitely be worse.
I love my family. That is all.
