I’m planning the school carnival. Im not sure why I do these things to myself.
Here was my day today.
6:15 – 6:30 wake up, get dressed, fix hair to acceptable style: a braided bun, a little fancy but only really takes 2 minutes.
6:30-7 feed pets, discover pool pump not working, text Shawn regarding broken pool pump. Make two lunches one with extra snacks for forest school.
7-8 wake up children, yell at them to get dressed, eat breakfast, brush teeth, and hair. Have phone convo with Shawn about pool pump, prime the pool pump with a hose. Have coffee, and protein shake for breakfast.
8-8:30 hang up laundry outside and out a new load in the washer, today will be nice need to get as many loads done as possible. Do French lesson, fix makeup, spray whole body with sunscreen, and spray Caitlyn before she leaves, get Nathan too.
8:30 drive to Forest School, have convo with Forest School teacher about kid who has been bullying Nathan.
9:15-10:40 volunteer at Caitlyn’s school library, have convo with Librarian about next year. I’ll be back!
10:40-11:10 drive home drinking cold coffee from original drive out to forest school.
11:40-12:15 walk Holly, she is very mad about being left at home all day yesterday during field trip.
12:15-12:25 drink protein shake and make coffee, but don’t drink it yet.
12:25 – 12-35 pick up Finn and bring him back home
12-35-1:30 walk Finn, try to teach him to play fetch, unsuccessfully.
1:30-2 bring Finn home, stop at Naomi’s house to pick up chips and more prizes for Fun Night.
2-2:15 come home to drop off prizes.
2:15-2:30 try to drop off prizes at school for Fun Night but can’t find VP who has the key to the storage room. Leave stuff in her office and make mental note to email apology.
2:30-2:37 RUN into freshco to buy stuff to make teacher appreciation lunch food.
2:37-3 slightly speeding drive to Forest School to pick up Nathan. All good with the bully.
3-3:15 drive like a madwoman to Caitlyn’s school and pick her up.
3:15-4 drive home, there’s lots of traffic
4: arrive home discover coffee and put in microwave.
4-4:30 tidy main floor before piano teacher arrives.
4:30 start cooking vegan sloppy joes for teacher lunch
4:45 piano teacher arrives, continue to cook sloppy joes.
5 re-rediscover coffee in microwave, thrownout and start writing this post.
5:15 finish sloppy joes start making pancakes for Fun Night.
5:30 finish pancakes and start making dinner…BBQ’d hotdogs and salad. So healthy.
5:45 piano teacher leaves, save this post for later.
5:50 eat dinner, yell at kids to eat their salad, Nathan does and Caitlyn pushes it around her plate.
6:05 tell Nathan to find socks and sunscreen him from head to toe.
6:10 – 6:30 go pick up Daniel drive to Cubs. Accidentally take kids to wrong place, then re route and get them to correct rocket launching location.
6:30-6:40 walk FOREVER to get to correct field.
6:40 -7:30 go to Canadian Tire to pick up baby pools for Fun Night, Naomi, and Martha. Drop Martha’s off at her house and come home.
7:31 write this post so I remember that I didn’t spend my time as a stay at home mom watching tv, but I did just eat some peanut butter cups.
Still to do tonight: pick up Nathan, Daniel, and Henry, bring them home and then Nathan home to go to bed.
Get laundry off the line
Tidy up after dinner
Make song list for Sparks day camp
Finish making prize bags for Fun Night
Make Naomi a birthday cake, that’s easy but impressive.
Make posters for the doors at school for Fun Night.
Tomorrow is a new day but is sure to be just as busy.

Well…these photos are a year old but I did just finally transfer my Vancouver/Victoria photos onto my computer.
The water was FREEZING, they were crazed after they splashed around.this is Caitlyn at Butchart, she looks lovely.final night of Sparks for the year! Though we still have day camp coming up.dog-sat Luna, and Sirius. They were hilarious! Sirius and Holly were non-stop cuddlers.While the kids were BOTH away at camp Shawn and I did family friendly stuff alone! Ha! We went to Westfest, Doors Open Ottawa, and well then we went home for a nap.Dogs also napped, it’s hard work when it’s non stop wrestlemainia.This is only a small section of the mosquito feast that was Nathan’s body. Caitlyn wasn’t nearly as bad at her camp.Holly needed a day to recover after her friends went home.Kids have started to read up on our trip to London.field trip to Upper Canada Village!All the kids were shockingly good!
Nathan and I both marveled at the epic pickles!
