It's only 11 am

I got up at 6:30 this morning. 2 older kids and dad already awake, and downstairs. Baby girl still sleeping.

Feeling rested and productive, I immediately started off my morning by doing some laundry.

Let the loads wash, and go hang with family. Then, Dad goes to shower, baby girl wakes up.

Get baby girl, and change messy diaper. (always a morning treat!)

Feed kids breakfast. While they eat, switch wash again. When taking out washer load, I notice that the 'wash your washer' light is on. Meaning run the washer with only the cleaner in it. So, I obediently obey my washer and run the cycle.

Dad heads off to work. I fold laundry while kids play.

Bath time! I head up with baby girl and she stands by tub while I turn on water. While tub is filling, I realize baby girl needs yet another diaper change.

Take her to my room, change diaper. Leave off diaper because she is about to go in tub.

Go back to tub, realize it's full of freezing cold water, because a fore mentioned washer washing took all the blazing hot water.

Let baby girl stand un-diapered by tub, while I empty and refill tub.

Bad idea.

Half way through, there is a puddle on the floor and on my foot.

Jordyn and Tyler prepare for tub, and Tyler decides to be a boy, and well, it's probably not appropriate to say on a family, G-rated blog.

Get floor cleaned up, tub has luke warm water, and dunk kids in and out one by one. Fastest bath time EVER!

Try to get all 3 kids dressed at same time. That's crazy.

While getting Tyler dressed, Reagan sneaks off back into the bathroom, and pulls herself over the side and back IN to the bathtub. Dressed. Change her clothes again.

She yells when I take her out. Sneaks again in the bathroom (you'd think I'd learn!) but this time finds the toilet. Gross.

Change her clothes, yet again.

Older kids dressed. Get Jordyn's hair done.

Reagan is fussy, I try to put her down for nap. She just plays.

I leave her in so I can get showered. But, still no hot water. Fastest shower for me, ever!

Hurry and get dressed, get Reagan back out to play.

Go downstairs and find Tyler had found a whole pack of saltine crackers. Said crackers are now smashed all over my kitchen floor.

Sweep it up.

It takes for.ev.er.

Get 4 pairs of socks on 4 sets of feet. 3 pairs of shoes on 3 pairs of feet.

Jackets, backpacks, and diapers bag loaded.

Take Tyler to preschool.

Run to grocery store. I had completely forgotten Jordyn is supposed to celebrate her birthday at school today!

Come home, get Jordyn's homework done, and attempt try #2 for Reagan's nap. Finally, a success.

Homework done, baby sleeping, finally time to relax.

But no, today is early day to school! Guess I better get running. Again!
