Week In My Life: Thursday

It's the end of the day Thursday, which means ONE. MORE. DAY!!  It's the best part about Thursday.  Thursday started like most days.  I got up to exercise and then got every one up and around.  We were running on time today, and everything went smoothly.

My work day went as normal too.  I contemplated taking a picture of my work area and my cube.  But who wants to see that!  Boring!  Do you all have things at your desk that "entertain" you or make your desk fun?  My desk is fairly boring, but I do have several family pictures.  And I have a Dilbert desk calendar.  I love that calendar!  Every morning I tear off the page to the current day and read the comic.  Most days it's funny, and I can so relate to it in corporate America.

After work, I picked up the Bigs, and Matt picked up Emma.  We have to split on Thursdays since it's piano night.  I take the kids through a drive thru for dinner, and then we head over to lessons.  We used to rush home and gulp down some food that I had in the crock pot or cereal or something.  But it just became too stressful.  Our kids are not fast eaters, and too often we didn't get out of work exactly on time.  So now, we just budget for those planned eat-out meals.  Tonight we had McDonald's.  Thankfully, my kids are not big fries eaters.  So they pretty much eat nuggets, apples, and milk.  It's not an ideal dinner, but it could be worse.  If McDonald's could add some veggies to their happy meals??  Right?

Piano lessons went really well.  The girls are playing Christmas music, and they are enjoying learning those songs.  Laura has 6 or 7 songs in her repertoire, and I think Hannah has 4 songs in hers.  Our piano teacher just had a baby, so I held him a little during the lesson.  Gotta love baby snuggles!  Added benefit to piano lessons these days :)  One funny thing - when Hannah was in her lesson,  I noticed that Hannah's socks were on the piano teacher's living room floor and on her couch.  I went in to the lesson room, and sure enough, Hannah was barefooted!  I think she has gotten a little too comfortable...

When we got home, I check Laura's homework, and Matt packed lunches quickly.  And then off to bed the kiddies went.  Little Emma was stylin' in her princess crown and her Michael Jackson gloves.  She announced to me that school was not good because Lasia did not want to be her best friend anymore.  I have a feeling Emma might experience this more than once as she gets older!  (She's probably too bossy!)
