mental captures of domestic life today

4:30am - vaguely remember something about Floyd rushing around to get out the door.

5:47am - wake up to BUGGLE stirring. every freaking light in the house is on. Floyd is no where to be seen. Ah yes, he had to leave early this morning. Now I remember. Opt to feed her and change the diaper and see just how much more she'll sleep. Stumble around in sleepy fog to turn out lights and crawl back into bed.

8:01am - woops, definitely overslept the alarm. And that sweet two year old boy has been awake a while. Kick it into high gear.

9:02am - RM asked me to sing with him on the way to school. Really stinking cute. Drop off at the School of the Little People. On to office .38 miles away.

5:32pm - arrive at home, exchange essential information with sitter from the School of the Little People. Decide to keep up the general crazy-woman pace of life today and take kids to church supper.

5:41pm - woke RM up to discover sitter had put him in swim 'diaper' instead of pull-up for nap... yeah, that's bad. Still didn't seem to phase his 4 hour nap routine.

5:52pm - arrive at church supper. RM squeals with delight at sight of GA and O'man in parking lot. Oma scoops up Buggle and Pops worries Clementine. O'man explains that RM is his best friend.

7:35pm - after dinner, lots of toddler races, playground excursions, and the simple joy of sitting with Antsy for a few brief moments of the day, we both depart for home to handle bath-bed routines.

7:53pm - RM: "Junie, Chin up!" He makes this recommendation to his sister after he's dumped several small cups of water over her head. She doesn't seem to mind. Surprisingly.

8:37pm - Both have been down for 10 minutes. RM from downstairs in his bed: "Mommy! I need dat Big DA!" (The security blanket. Which is in the dryer still. For the 4th time in a week.)

I'm staying up too late. :)
