As Time Flies

Since my oldest arrived on Wednesday time has really gotten away from me. He came mid-morning Wednesday and from there things went in fast forward. It was nice taking him to church with us. Thursday should have been much slower, but it really wasn't. I did manage to hit a very rigorous
Zumba class and then moved on into Friday.

 
Thursday was a Nashville doctor's office trip, which actually went rather smoothly other than the fact the State Trooper wanted to stop me for violating traffic laws. By the time we made it to the restaurant to get a bite to eat, I was exhausted and ready to fall into bed. And this I did do as soon as I could get three kids showered and into bed.

Friday I hit RIPPED and then waited until it was time for my son to head into Nashville with his Aunt and Grandfather. He would be staying with them, which meant I missed an evening with him. It also meant that he would have fun away from mom. I am glad that my sister enjoys having him over.

When Saturday rolled around, it found me tired, but ready to face a beautiful sunshine filled day. I spent the morning with my youngest two kids and then headed over to pick up my sister and son. I was going to another Advocare Mixer. We had a blast and so did my youngest two at a neighboring house.

On the way home I nearly ran over a chicken. A yellow and white chicken that darted from the right side ditch into the road and under my minivan. I was screaming my son was asking if it would die, and it did not, it is alive.

Sunday we woke up early so we could make it to the zoo before taking my son home. We enjoyed the zoo. A beautiful sunny day with a light, but cool breeze. It was a nice drive into Nashville. Traffic not being so bad. We enjoyed the animals. The kids loved the train ride. My oldest got to be a hero and rid their train car of a spider that fell in my middle son's lap. And then we were off to find food.


The trip to Bowling Green was peaceful as two out of three kids were asleep. Great conversation with my Dad. We also enjoyed a walk near a river in Bowling Green and then it was time to drop my son off. That is always the sad part.




Monday was once again a Nashville doctor trip. And since we are in the area so often my middle son has figured out that a Taco Bell is in the hospital and as soon as he realizes where we are that is all that is on his mind. This time we let him eat there. A very happy little boy.

Away we went to my favorite bookstore. I found several potential books and some books for my kids and even a few for my husband. Score! Never mind that my daughter acted like she was not in a quiet place where you don't run around or throw yourself onto the floor or pull every book from the shelves. We did get to finish our looking and pay for our choices, we were not escorted from the building which was a concern at one point.

Since I am at an in between place I needed to drive one hour to get my groceries at Fort Campbell. My lovely sister agreed to ride along. It was a long drive due to rain and slow traffic and construction. My daughter had an accident, which would later become two more accidents and an on purpose poop in the pants. I was just barely over budget and we were away toward home.

I made it to RIPPED, but it was a hard class due to the fact my weekend food choices were not the best and making me so very sluggish.

Now I am home listening to the annoying cartoons and kids playing.

God is good.
