Busy Day

Whoa, what a day! I woke up to the realization that I did not set my alarm! It was a little before 8:00 when I looked at the clock and Caleb has to be at preschool at 8:30. This means that I had to forego my shower and done my hat (not such a bad thing anyway considering my previously mentioned need for a hair cut!). So, it's out of bed in a rush to get somewhat ready to greet the outside world, make sure that Caleb is dressed and fed, and then dress and feed Isabel. I had to hold off having my own breakfast. However, I was amazed that Caleb was not late. Yeah, they were just opening the doors as I pullled into the parking lot! Whew, he's not late.

Alright, Caleb's at school, so I go home to take that shower. I eat, shower, get all purdied up and off I go to run some errands. I go to two stores then head to Mae's school to pick her up. I pull up to the school a few minutes early. Whew, again, I'm not late! After Mae is in the truck we head to Caleb's school and wait for him to get out. Then back home to eat lunch and relax for a bit.

Then it is time to take Mae back to her school for soccer practice that started today. I have no idea where I am going. I am not familar with the school enough to know where she's supposed to go! Yikes! I go to the office and wait for someone to acknowledge my presence and ask me what I need. Doesn't happen. I happen to overhear another lady in the office ask my very question "where do the kids meet for the soccer practice?" So, being the resourceful person I am, I follow her. I also happen to notice that the lady working in the office is looking at me strangely as I walk out. Hmm, so helpful. Anyway, Mae gets to her soccer practice and I leave to run another errand that didn't get done earlier. After the errand I have enough time to go home and throw dinner in the crockpot and check my beloved email (and maybe a blog or two). Then it's back to the soccer field to get Mae.

I'm home now and the kids are happily installed in thier rooms for nap/quiet time (well, I should say I'm happy they are installed!) Dinner is on its way and I have completed my daily bible study. Can I relax now? Does this qualify me as a "soccer mom"?? Oh man, I've just entered into another phase of life!

Hello, my name is Deanne and I am a Soccer Mom.
