Week in My Life: Monday

These are always fun 1) because it's interesting to get a glimpse into other people's lives (it's oddly comforting to read about others' chaos) and 2) because it's fun to read these from years past and see what my life was like.  Somehow I manage to forget all of the details - the good, the bad and the ugly.  So here we go!

Monday for us is a Grammy day!  That means that  my mom comes to watch Emma, and she does A LOT more.  She cleans my house, does my laundry, does various other cleaning/organizing, decorating projects, and cooks dinner.  Yes, I cannot emphasize how amazingly awesome it is.  And I realize how truly blessed I am to have such awesome support.  I am very grateful.  My mom single handedly saves my sanity.

There are many other benefits outside of my sanity, and the most valuable one to me is the quality time that Emma gets with my mom.  Emma absolutely loves spending time with Grammy.  This one on one time, snuggles, games, walks, and books are things she can't get at daycare.  I am so happy and thankful that she can have this time with Grammy.

Matt, the older girls and I headed off to school/work and plodded through our days.  After work, Matt picked me up at work, and then we headed to the girls' school to pick them up at their after-school program.  Once we get home, there is a whole evening full of activities and tasks to complete.

We ate dinner first, which was delicious.  Mom made sausage and egg quiche.  Then after she headed home, Hannah and Laura started homework.  After assigned homework, Matt worked with Laura on extra Math facts, and I packed lunches.  Then Matt took the two older girls outside for some po-going, while I put the laundry away.  Finally everyone was inside and settling down for about 20 minutes of relaxing before bed.

After the kids went to bed, Matt and I watched some TV, and I blogged!  Then off to bed to get up early for exercise.  :(

Here are a few pics of bedtime!  See you tomorrow.  For more WIML 2015, go here

Emma was fussing - she bonked her nose on something before she came upstairs :(
