6:30 a.m. Max wakes up crying... still not feeling well. Bottle. Burp. Cry back to sleep finally at 7 a.m.
7 a.m. Heather is too tired to hold Max anymore and while he cries back to sleep, I go to back to bed wishing I could hide under my covers all day long.
9 a.m. Heather finally wakes up because Hannah and Abe are pulling her out of bed. Can't a mom get any sleep around here. Kidding about that. I know mom's need to sacrifice their beauty sleep for the good of the family. I am grateful my kids are old enough to get some cereal and play so I can rest a little.
10 a.m. Out the door to meet college friends Steph and Brooke. What a fun time to meet at the park and let the kids enjoy the sunshine. They loved their new friends. They all picked dandelions and ran around like crazy. I forgot sunscreen since I've been used to indoors all winter long. Don't forget that next time! Poor Abe got a wee bit red. Luckily Max was in the shade and was protected. It was so fun and rejuvenating to chat with dear friends.
Fast Forward to 4 p.m. - Tackling those piles of dishes from who knows when.
5 p.m. Still tackling the dishes. Between giving Max ample attention and getting the kids drinks, it sure takes a long time to get the work done.5:30 p.m. Vacuuming the entire kitchen because it was completely gooby and I couldn't stand it a moment longer.
6 p.m. Staring, staring, staring into the pantry wondering what to make for dinner (didn't quite have a plan for that today).
6:15 p.m. Sitting down to a lovely pink waffle dinner with peanut butter and syrup.
7:00 p.m. Read the end of Pollyanna to Miss Hannah. What a GLAD time!
8:45 p.m. Blogging my Monday.
9:00 p.m. Head to bed to get the very needed beauty sleep.
Tomorrow, I'm going to have a tv free day for the kids and we're going to have a better schedule and hopefully get some serious chores done. We'll see how that goes. The kids have had a doozy of a time getting on each other's nerves. I'm hoping time spent working with mom might solve that problem. We can always hope!

Your kids (except Max) sleep in until 9? I am so jealous. My girls have been waking up at 6:30. And this is after getting up once or twice with Beckham.
I need to do a no TV day too.
How fun to see Steph! I didn't know she was visiting. I'm so glad you got to enjoy a day at the park in the sunshine with dear friends. Wish I could have come too!
And pink waffles sound fabulous for dinner!
P.S. I absolutely LOVE your hair!!! It's darling!
So how come your dish pile is so CUTE?! I love your new hairdo, too! And you finally reminded me of what I've been missing all these years--beauty sleep ;)
