One Day at a Time

We are on to our second with me being a single mom and we aren't sure if I'm winning at this lifestyle or not. Yesterday was pretty easy because two of my helpers were off work, but they both went back today so it was me against nine kids this morning. Did I mention I worked until 1am last night? I feel like that's an important part of this story. When my alarm went off this morning I was pretty upset, normally Jason gets up with the kids and does all the morning things so I can sleep. I know, I sound super lazy, but I work more than 40 hours most weeks-so mama sleeps when she can! Anyway, the alarm went off and I got up still sleeping for the most part and yelled to each kid to get ready. There's a reason Jason does this and not me, he's so chipper in the morning and loves breakfast foods. I'm impressed when I get cereal and toast ready successfully. Once they were all dressed and ate their super healthy breakfast I realized we had like twenty minutes to get everyone to school, which start all at the same time but our no where near each other. Luckily, Tyson has a few friends he can walk to school with and was able to do that this morning and get to school on time. I was actually shocked that they all made it to all their activities and what not and I was able to do some of my chores today. We'll just pretend that I had energy when doing all of this and that I wasn't fighting back the urge to throw a fit over all the little things in life. I do want to warn all of you now, this blog might turn into a bit of a diary so Jason can read it when he gets the chance and catch up on all of the things he's missed in life. Just the thought of all the things he's going to be missing kills me inside, our wedding anniversary, six of our kids birthdays, Fathers' Day, kindergarten graduation, baseball games, Brooke's moving up meet, teaching our kids to swim, and so much more! I am so not looking forward to being the only one experiencing these fun activities, but I know if he doesn't do this now he'll permanently miss everything in their lives and I'm not okay with that. I can't wait till he gets home and I have my best friend and number one supporter back, because I need him like crazy.
