Every which way

Have you seen the air freshner commercial with the mother octopus who is doing at least six things at a time. That is exactly how I felt last night and this morning. Today was another Friday (see Fridays from Hell for clarification). And things were worse than usual. One reason was my husband was working late and not home to help. Another is that we are taking a road trip after school today and needed to pack. Thirdly, we were planning a coffee for after mass to celebrate the Priest's birthday.( of course I was in charge)

Last night I was making chocolate pumpkin suckers for my daughter's class, frosting a cake, making dinner and doing the dishes all at once. I was exhausted. A few more legs or arms sure would have helped. By some miracle I got everything done and everything went smoothly.

Smoothly is a relative term. My son only disappeared once. My mother said he was sitting by my daughter and when I looked , he was not. So here I am with a frantic look running around the school trying to locate him and praying he did not go outside. Another father noticed the look and did a lap around the school while I searched within. Why does it seem like it takes hours to find them when in reality it is only minutes? I am humbled every time one of my children is not with in sight and I fear the worse.

Halloween is fast approaching and I promise you pictures of the entire family dress-up together. I will not say what, you will have to wait and see.

One more thing checked off the list today, I blogged.
