LATE!

My life like normal has been really busy.  It seems to get really bad on the day hubby gets payed.  Yesterday, the day before payday, I managed to make some phone calls and get most of the house cleaned.  So it was an ok day but today..........

I had to get all of the kids up.  Blake had a doctors appointment today at 8:30.....I am nuts for doing that early but I had so much to do.  Needless to say I didn't get it all done.  Got to his appointment late by 5 mins as usual.  Appointment went well but then he had to get shots.  So I had a cranky baby about half way through the afternoon.  After the appt.  we had to go to the bank.  I hadn't had a chance to check it so unsure how much was even in there.  So there ends up being less than I thought so that through my whole day off.
I leave the bank and decide that if I am going to go grocery shopping on this tight of a budget I am going to need to eat.  So I get me a sausage McMuffin and the girls both ate a hash brown a piece.  FYI it is cheaper to buy a meal and then add 2 extra hash brown than to get the sandwich and 2 hash browns.
We then have to all get out so we can go inside the store to put money in the bank.  Then all get back in the car to go to my moms.  She, when available, watches the kids so I can go shopping alone.   THANK YOU MOM!  I get there and have to fill out paperwork and make a couple of phone calls to my school.  I finally get that done and think, it is only a little after 11....I will have time to go to the store and not have to rush to get Bruce.
I go to the store and it seems like I did everything pretty quick but before I know it, it is nearly 1pm.  My mom had a doc appt. and needed to leave her house by 1:20 at the latest.  Well then I run into construction less than a mile from her house.  So I end up being late again.
My next task was to email in my paperwork to the school.......well that didn't go as easy as planned so I rushed to fax them and didn't get a chance to call the school cause I still had to go to the butcher and get ground beef.  My family eats way to much and can't seem to live without it....lol  By the time I get done there it is already 20 after 2 and my gas tank is sitting on "E".  I still had to get home, 30 mins away, to get Bruce off of the bus at 3pm.  I pump gas and it is 35 after.  School lets out at 2:40.  So I had to decide right then, should I call the school and have them keep Bruce there or try to get home a little "faster" than normal.  I figured it probably wouldn't be good to come home with a speeding ticket so I had to have Bruce kept in the office till I could get there.
I get there and he was having the office ladies make him a paper airplane out of the slip they use to give to teachers to let them know that a child wont be going on the bus.  So he was excited about it and wants me to now take him to school and drop him off every day.   I DON'T THINK SO!!
So I finally get home and have to unload the car and the kids plus clean up the mess we made trying to hurry and get ready this morning.  I finally now at nearly 9:30 pm, got the chance to sit down.  I have managed to type the above without any real interruptions......

Now it is 9:30 in the morning and I am just now posting this because things went crazy last night.  Jenna refused to go to sleep. Bruce had to go to bed without homework done because I had yet another time management issue.  I let them play outside to long.  Then didn't get dinner done until late.  I didn't get to bed until 1 this morning and then had to wake up early to get homework done.  Wow, what a way to start the day.......







Rules!  Hell, there are no rules here...we're trying to accomplish something.
