Four kids and the single mom

Being a mom is hard, especially doing it by yourself. With Jay being busy with baseball and four away games this week, everything is left on me.  Don't get me wrong, I also worry about Jay since I KNOW he is not sleeping as much as he should.  I went to bed about 11:15-11:30 pm last night and he still wasn't home and when I woke up at 5:45am, he was already out of bed getting ready for the new day.

However, this week is extra stressful with finals this week and next week for college and getting the house in order for the girls' confirmation party on the 15th, plus having to rearrange my finals on the 13th because of the girls' confirmation that day.  Of course to make things even worse, I have been sick for 10 days!  I had the flu for three days and then the next day, allergies!  Kirsten has not been to school this week because she has been sick with the crud and now today, Jaydan's asthma started getting worse so the nebbing started.  Yesterday, Jaydan had girl scouts and today, I signed up Alec for an instrument for band.  The trumpet.  I also had to do this without Jay's knowledge since he hasn't been around.

Today has been a pretty windy day also and this is what happened!  Alec, Jaydan and I had to try to carry this away from the driveway, we didn't get it very far but away from the driveway!

 

The joys of being in my household!  It could be worse....... right?

BTW, It's Jay's birthday on Thursday!  Happy birthday, Jay!!!!
