7:45 Coffee and a graham cracker with ibuprofen on the side. Breakfast of champions.
8:15 Shower. Feeling much better now.
9:00 Print lesson plans for sub folder to take to school. Almost out of ink.
9:30 Take Moriah to kindergarten at Sonshine Academy. Pick up a friend of Grace's that comes on Tuesdays to homeschool at our house. Put lesson plans in the sub folder.
10:00 Sit and read Jesus Calling, pray for friends and family and meditate on verses I need.
10:30 Look at what worship tracks I have for Spark Seattle, what keys work best and what powerpoints we have. Email Molly what I find. Revise worship order and email Brad to print. (Because I'm out of ink.)
11:45 Brad comes home and wants to take me to lunch. Go by bank and get cash.
12:15 Take Luke lunch because he passed a major test and because he's my favorite son.
12:30 Eat a sit down lunch at Panda Express with my husband. Talk about life and our getaway days in Seattle, after the mission trip. He tells me about his sermon. I sing Sunday school songs I remember about it: "Silver and gold have I none. But such as I have give I thee..." (I guess I sang in KJV. Weird what you can remember learning as a kid.) Brad leaves probably wishing he'd never brought it up.
1:30 Listen to Bach with Grace. Realize the organ is not an instrument she can identify.
1:45 Meeting for Kindergarten parents (all moms) I knew this day would come. With Luke I was one of the youngest moms there. With Moriah I am one of the oldest. I feel like Yoda among these young exuberant padewans. The teachers go over homework expectations and I need my reading glasses. They ask who wants to plan play dates. I dodge eye contact. "Too tired, I am."
2:30 Take Moriah home to rest, get a snack, hear about school, hear songs learned at school. Work more on music, open mail to find adorable tutu made by my creative entrepreneur friend for game days...
4:00 Get moriah ready for dance. Pack for my 1.5 hour wait. Start dinner. Give grace a quick HomeEc lesson in cooking pasta. Sing "oh be careful little bodyparts what you fillintheblank" all the way to dance.
5:00 Drop off the prima ballerina. Look at my calendar and realize the last payment for driving school is due today. Call them and no they don't take payments like everyone else in this century over the phone. Drive 15 miles to write a check and kindly thank the nice lady.
5:45 Stop at Party City to see what peace sign/60s stuff I may want to take on this themed spark trip. Leave empty-handed remembering I just spent trip budget on driving school.
6:30Pick up ballerina having finished nothing I packed or planned. Call Luke to hear about the big fight at lunch. It was 2 girls! What?! He wants to go get underarmour for football practice and a pink shirt for spirit week. What?! My answer: When you're done with homework we will see. And you're using your own money, by the way. (That's how I roll.)
6:50 Warm up pasta and eat with moriah at the table while grading Grace's math.
7:30 Luke is done with homework. All pile in the minivan to go to the mall. Only boys go in. Girls fight over radio station until mom turns it to 90.9 KCBI, a sermon on what precious gifts children are and how blessed I am to have them!
8:30 Can't believe I started this day with a migraine. Seems like so long ago! Decide I haven't blogged in a while.
9:00 Watching SYTYCD with Moriah in bed. Get a call from a sweet friend about Spark attire and more.
10:00 Thank God for a wonderful life, for His unfailing love, that peace covenant I plan to remember more diligently and for goodnight kisses that one day...may not come so often.
