NORAH JONES on Thursday evening with the husband!!!!!!  I think it will be a great night out.

CAN'T WAIT!!!!!

I can count on one hand how many concerts that I have been to ...

• Billy Joel/Elton John
• Harry Connick Jr. (2x)
• Bruce Springsteen 

Someday, I will think fondly of the crazy days when I felt like I couldn't catch my breath.

I think I will

Maybe??

or Maybe not ;)

Mondays and Wednesdays are my hardest days of the week... especially after school.  Couple that with my husband who has been MIA with an overload of work.  I think he went to work at 5am yesterday and came home at 8:45pm ... just late enough to miss all the action.

This is multi-tasking at its best ...

• Leave to pick up girls from school at 2:15pm
• Get home at 3pm
• Snacks for the girls, change into swim gear, pack pool bags
• Out the door at 3:40pm to go to the pool
• {M} starts her STARS swim practice (4-4:30pm)
• Go to the swim office (with {B}, {C}, and {E}) to get a new swim suit for {E} ... she tries on several
• Drop {C} off in childcare  ... our pool is part of a large gym
• So reading lessons with {B}
• {E} and {K} do STERLINGS swim practice from 4:30-5:45pm
• {B} sits in the hot tub while {M} does some of her math homework and I get to read 4 pages from a book (a very brief moment of peace)
• Get {C} from childcare(I don't want to go over the one hour mark) and get {B} into the big pool for her swim lesson (5:30-6pm)
• Chase {C} around the pool area  ... she is ready to jump in like her big sisters (YIKES)
• Quickly dress, and head home
• Arrive back home at 6:20pm
• Put {M} and B} in the shower while {E} and {K} START their homework
• turn on a show for {C}  ... I need a TV babysitter for a short while so that I can start to COOK DINNER
• {E} tries to ask me a bunch of science fair related questions while I try to juggle cooking (I think she has no idea that I can't really think too clearly at the moment), throwing wet towels in the wash, and checking on the 4 and 6 year old who are taking their own shower.
• Get the girls out of the shower only to note that there is STILL conditioner in their hair ... quick rinse, and then dry off
• Husband calls to say that he is wrapping things up
• Finish dinner
• EAT
• homework and showers (for the bigger girls) for everyone
• bed for {C} ... thankfully she has a bath in the morning
• marker/paper time for {B}
• help {M} finish her homework
• proofread {K}'s language arts paragraph ... needs lot of help
• My loving, caring husband calls to tell me that he is just NOW leaving work
• some dessert for the girls
• stories and bed for {M} and {B}
• Husband comes home and helps {E} with her science fair questions
• tell {E} and {K} to go to bed
• wash dinner dishes
• throw load of laundry in ... the girls need their uniform sweatshirts so I need to make sure they get into the dryer
• HUSBAND hugs me and tells me how much he loves me (while I remain unemotional) , tells me to lay in bed, puts his BOSE headphones on my head, and makes me listen to Norah Jones new songs on his iPod.  I have been told to RELAX!!!!!

  Not Too Late

  Norah Jones

  I nearly fall asleep, but remember that I need to get the clothes into the dryer
• I get up, move clothing to the dryer, talk with husband for a few minutes
• SLEEP at 10:15pm

LONG DAY that will be repeated on WEDNESDAY (hopefully with a husband who will be home  A LOT earlier)
