Hello Tired....

Tired is my theme of the week in case you haven't noticed. This week has been adjusting to a new routine. With summer coming to an end, the alarm clock now becomes my new friend. First I get up (like I haven't been up all night with the baby), head downstairs and make coffee (my favorite friend) and then, going back up stairs, get two kidos up and lay out their clothes for school. I attempted to layout the clothes the night before but with the coldness of the morning the kidos change their minds from shorts to pants. So I grab the clothes in the morning. Today was purple and white day...oh the fun in finding purple for my son (rolling eyes)....So once they are dressed or dressing I change quickly and head downstairs to get breakfast ready for them...(no please remember my darling daughter is a food allergy child which makes an meal a chore because so also PICKY)...Then I pack Kenz lunch and that seems to take forever because I have to make sure she'll eat it (I'm batting zero right now)...Then its make sure everything is in the book bags...get the baby dressed...who had a bottle at some point between waking and getting kidos breakfast....and then everyone gets their shoes on and its the other stairs to load the baby in the stroller and start our walk (down hill) to the school/bus stop (Kenz school/Gav's bus stop). Then we stand there (me, Gav, and the baby...because Kenz gets to go right into her school) and wait for the bus. Once Gav is on the bus I walk back home (up hill)...Once home the baby goes down for a nap and I enjoy peace and quiet...okay so I haven't got to enjoy the peace and quiet yet as my week has been filled with appointments BUT today is my day!! I did however get to finish my book Second Chance by Jane Green last night!!! Finally!!! I would have been finished sooner if I would have had more time to read! It was a great book! I am now starting a Nora Roberts 3 book series with flowers in their titles...the first book is called The Blue Dalila. I've never read Nora Roberts before but it was a recommended read by Tina. Any way I need more coffee... :-) ...so I am off to enjoy the quiet...clean...write...maybe sketch...cook...play on facebook...and email...that is until the baby wakes up!! TTFN

sleep....lunch

So with the kidos back at school you would think that I have a ton of time on my hands…BUT no. My to do list seems to have grown and there are doctors appointments. And boy am I tired. It seems that since I now have to get up early to get the kids ready that the baby has decided to no longer sleep through the night and oh when she is sleeping another one of the kids is awake. So my new best friend is COFFEE! Okay who am I kidding coffee has ALWAYS been my best friend…but as of this week I’m highly more dependent on it! And I hear you…take a nap while the kids are at school but that darn to do list is there and stuff needs to be done. One of the items on my darling to do list is finding lunchy stuff for my daughter to eat. She is on a no soy, milk, wheat, nut, egg, seafood, and apple diet, due to food allergies. And so far has not eaten her lunch (which I have to pack everyday) at school. Now my already petite darling is losing weight…which is not good. So any ideas out there I’d love to hear them. I’ve already tried: hummus and crackers, cereal with rice milk, salsa rice. The school will not heat anything up for her. I plan on baking her sandwich bread this weekend (she didn’t like the last bread I made from the gluten free section of the store). Any who…off to the bus!
