A CrAzY dAy fOr LoGaN aNd Me!


I decided it would be nice if once in awhile we just wrote about how crazy life can really get, so here it goes...
6:45 Slept in too late because I had a crazy night and was up and down all night with my leg that was hurting (I just had surgery on some painful veins I've been dealing with).
7:15 Got Bryson out the door for school.
Started getting ready, got all the other boys up and ready - Logan poops in the bath and starts crying.
8:30 Send Garrett and Tanner out the door for the bus, only to realize they were late, but luckily the bus driver stopped and picked them up.
8:45 My friend drops off her daughter that I was watching today.
9:00 Visiting teachers come to visit (with a yummy treat!)
10:00 Take 3 kids to preschool - Mckay is so excited about turning the ipod on in the car, that he slams the Suburban door right on Logan's hand.  I have to try not to faint and open the door and pull out his poor little hand.  
10:05 Take Logan over to my Mom's house to see if she thinks I need to take him to the doctor. I leave him with her for awhile so I can go help in Tanner's class at school.
11:00 Pick up Logan, decide to not take him to doctor, but realize not only is his hand all swollen, but he is pulling on his left ear again and his nose is running (Logan has another ear infection I'm sure)
11:05 Go to the store with Logan (and buy the most expensive SpongeBob fruit snacks- that he is screaming for- to let Logan eat while I shop) 
12:00 Pick up kids from preschool and have my two, plus three other little friends over.  Feed them lunch, eat some Mac & Cheese while I am putting all my groceries away.  
Let the kids pull out Halloween costumes from downstairs to play dress up with.  Logan starts crying, I run downstairs to find a huge goose bump on his head, only no one knows what has happened.
2:00 Logan takes a nap.
2:30 Two kids leave.
Try to start registering kids for Spring soccer, karate, and BYU sports camps on line.
4:00 Pick up Bryson from piano.
4:10 Send Tanner to rock climbing wall class.
4:15 Start dinner - Logan wakes up from nap very unhappy and wants to be held.
4:40 Pick up Garrett from piano.
Finish dinner, help kids with homework, try to get Logan to settle down, pay some bills, make some calls.
6:30 Paul comes home -we eat very quickly.
6:50 Paul and Bryson leave for scouts.
7:00 - 8:15 Do the dishes and try to pick up the kitchen and family room area with help from the boys.
8:15 - 9:00 Get boys ready for bed, clean tub finally that Logan messed in.
9:00 Paul walks in and helps tuck boys in bed.
I am exhausted, I can't wait to put my legs up with an ice pack on them and just relax while watching American Idol!
Tonight I think Mckay could see I was tired and he said, "Mommy, I know your shots in your legs will feel better soon because my Kindergarten shots hurt really bad, but now they don't hurt anymore!"  
I love my boys and Paul and that is why I will get up and do it all over again tomorrow.

holy wow! you are so awesome. I looked up to you as a kid and I still do today. Hearing about days like that overwhelm me. I hope tomorrow is a little bit calmer. You are such a great mom and person!

Aren't you glad everyday isn't quite that crazy? Somedays you really just kind of survive... makse you so glad for the days when no one poops in the tub and bumps on heads don't magically appear!

Got to say that pic of Logan is so sad. I clicked on the photo to enlarged it and started laughing because that poor boy looks so pitiful. I have sympathies for Loge's because if you remember my brother also shut my hand in a car door.
Admittedly though Ang, you are amazing.

I'm just sorry that my two girl added to the crazy day.
