When I woke up this morning, I just could not get up. A. was up late being happy, but it meant less sleep for me, so when the boys begged to sleep a bit longer, I let them and crawled back in myself.

My mom came with my nephew later so we worked with school, breakfast, cleaned the house and finally sat down to visit with mom a bit as it has been a while.

So today has been a blur of chores, babysitting, fixing food and schoolwork!

How do you get everythng done and not get run down? I feel like I have to be going all the time to get everything done. I am really thankful because the chore lists are working great. P. is doing really good with cleaning the bathroom! He is very particular and everything looks great! It is so nice to have a sweet smelling bathroom!

I re-read the first book of SisterCircle book last night while waiting for T. to sleep, it is sort of a different story, but I can relate to it. The widow in the story has to open a boarding house to earn money and she never really had to take charge of anything. It is so hard for her to make the rules and I could see myself in that! I really hate having to be in charge, I like to help with things, but to be in charge of everything is hard. Parenting and running a house is hard! I do not know how I would do it if I did not have God!

F. is picking up a bunch of groceries on his way home. Potatoes are on sale today and some other produce. I also was going to go to another store and get some milk that is on sale for $1. It is just down the street so should be easy!
