It's over! WHEW! Now, just to clean up the mess left in my home from the last minute cooking, baking, furniture taken over to use as props, dishes either from home that were left undone due to the lateness of the hour and the tight schedule we had going yesterday or were used at the church during the dinner to serve and now are at MY house... dirty of couse. All the props we took over had to return but nobody was in any condition to put everything in its proper place last night when we collapsed around 9pm. Sooooo that means we get it ALL today. I'm so sore I can hardly move and so that's really hampering the process, Michael STILL isn't out of bed at almost noon although he's been called many many many times already today and rooms that he takes care of are messy. Some of the kids are wanting to help but some are still cranky or giggly due to the stressful weekend we had and so that means they are either goofing off together or at each other's throats! SIGH. AND... Josh has to work after lunch so I won't have any decent help for four hours or so and even then, hubby's going to be worn out having had to get up this morning and get to work for 7am so not too sure how much we'll accomplish today, but we'll keep plugging away at it. We have to deep clean for Chistmas too in all of this so it's not just surface cleaning and putting things back in order.
The sun's shining and although it was -20 this morning at 9am, it's now up to -14 and I've heard going to -8 yet today. Bring it on!!! I want to send these guys out for some sun and fresh air later on. Just a few minutes peace and quiet for mama to recharge HER batteries!
last night was so exhausting I couldn't even eat at the church and asked hubby to sit later than everyone else left in the peaceful now quiet chuch that had just been cleaned because I couldn't face going home to my noisy sugar filled kids and messy house.
Tomorrow is the halfway point and I'll be officially 5 months on the 23rd. Getting bigger too. Sigh... forgot to get a pic of me in my black lace maternity dress!
While I type this, Audi is using q-tips and toiletpaper along with water to "practice being a doctor" on mom. Before this, she was combing my hair with water and a comb getting more in my face than anything, but still, she's having fun and ministering to her mama even if it's kinda bizarre lol.
Time to get a few kids who aren't doing anything moving!!!
