some say I’m crazy…..and it’s probably true! Today we went to the zoo w/ our friends and our niece went as well. It’s nice having an extra set of hands around, plus I love her so much!! she’s the girl I’ll never have! After that we came home for dinner and our friends were leaving their kids for a sleepover so that they could get in a nice night out.  So far it’s going splendidly!!  The little ones, Zeke and S (14 months I think), were in bed around 8, Zeke first then S.  The bigger kids stayed up a bit for popcorn and a movie. Friends stopped by since they were in the neighborhood at 830ish, which was cool, but it wasnt til afterward it hit me how messy the house was when they came!! but I had 6 kids and dinner dishes were clean so it wasnt that bad I suppose!!
oh yeah…while I had 5 kids, was making chicken on the grill and boiling hot water for hot chocolate….a guy came to meet Shea. he loves her but is going to come back tomorrow w/ his girlfriend. he said he would love to take her today but wants to clear it w/ the SO, and I said from the female standpoint I totally think thats a good idea!!  So tomorrow I’ll take 5 kids to church w/ me, where I’ll get a one hour break to sit in the service thanks to Sunday school….wohooo!! then after that I think we might go to Frisch’s for lunch, free kids meal coupons for all!   then the guy will come see Shea again, and hopefully I’ll get Laura home early enough that we can have dinner and settle in for a quiet evening so I can get loads of laundry put away!
it nevers ends…planning to get to bed before midnight tonight so I have to go finish up some chores, praying their little guy sleeps through the night.  I have to say it’s been a great day, even w/ 6 kids!! they are good kids so that helps!
I’m amazed how well things are going honestly…waiting for the other shoe to drop as it usually does, maybe this time will be different! Â hosting a playdate here on Monday(say it again w/ me folks, she’s crazy!) and the rest of the days are pretty busy up until Dean comes home on Friday then things get REALLY busy w/ holiday stuff and serving for church events and cub scouts and….the list goes on and on….and I just want to sleep …just a little….
