Friday Night

The title has nothing to do with the pics. It is friday night, I am EXHAUSTED from the week, and want to do nothing more than lay on my bed catching up on my fav tv shows on Hulu. This is a normal week for Mama Val:
Monday: Get kids to school/Gma's house, I go to school, then work, then school, rush home to take babysitter home then get kids in bed.
Tuesday: DAY OFF!!! Get kids to school, go to the gym, pick up Grey from school, HOMEWORK, laundry, grocery shopping, pick Lucy up from school, take Lucy to 2 hour gymnastic class, HOMEWORK, clean, HOMEWORK, kids in bed (except for Grey cause he HATES going to bed).
Wednesday: See Monday
Thursday: Get kids to school/Gma's house, work until I can't think any longer, rush to the gym, pick Grey up from Gma's, pick Lucy up from school, have friends over, deep clean the entire house including mopping and vacuuming, make dinner (sometimes), HOMEWORK, bedtime.
Friday: Get kids to school/Gma's, work all day, pick up kids from Gma's (before we leave I always sit down by mom and talk, I need some mom time), home, dinner, then I sit on my bed watching Hulu while the kids play and fight, bedtime.
Weekends are insane. I usually have to go to school or work or something, I shop a little, HOMEWORK A LOT, try to get to the gym, and possibly make dinner. Sunday is church and HOMEWORK.

Now this is just an outline of my days. There are usually 10,000 other things going on between said activities. Seriously. And once in awhile I take a deep breath and enjoy the little moments (see below). But we are happy, we love our house, we love each other, and we keep going week after week. Pretty amazing little life we have. And of course an ENORMOUS thank you to Gma and Gpa for taking care of the 3 of us day after day, week after week.


(yes he is tickling himself. he was supposed to be getting ready for school or for the bath or for bed-I really can't remember but he wasn't doing it. he WAS making himself laugh though. and mama too)
