A typical day in a big family

Most generally my days as a mom are crazy! Every now and than it calms down.
But a normal day has about a dozen curve balls thrown in my direction. That I have to catch and do something about.
Yesterday was another one of those normal/crazy days.
Every morning at 4 am, I manage to mutter the words, "you have your phone? I love you too". And than I sleep hard for another 3 hrs.
Text from brother saying that he is providing lunch at moms for us sisters, so we can get said house spring cleaned. (Hmmm. I didn't even say I would be there due to company coming here) So several phone calls to try and decide what we should do, and if anybody was going to go.
After that, I got back to the school thing. you know finishing up math? Yes.
And than I found an email from Chief David, saying Austin was running really low in his meds. So life stopped again, and I worked on ordering Austin's meds.
By than it was lunch time. After lunch Wayne called wondering if I could finish up those bags for filtering the oil at work. Sure I can do that. I only have about 16 to sew ;)  not bad! And than Carrie slipped and hurt her hand really bad.. I assured her I was certain it was a bad sprain. And in the back of my mind not so certain it wasn't something worse. But we slept over it all and this morning I am still questioning the hand.
And than the mail comes in and there is a letter from UVA, saying appointments have changed (only for the 3rd time) So I grab my planner and sit down to look things over, and make sure I am not double booking on that day. (when we go to UVA it is three back to back appointments)
1:30 Wayne calls and says he is on the way to the dentist, and by than I was nearing completion of 'the bags'. Also that there was somebody coming to pick up a puppy in the evening. which got me rolling on supper, I like to serve supper at 5:00, but since I am a procrastinator, I am lucky to get that done.
And all day long, I was rocking a fussy crying constantly cranky baby all day. And all day I was trying to figure out what was wrong. Still haven't, except that it was just a bad day. He woke up about 3 am that morning and ran through the house till after 4 am. Which exhausted me for the rest of the day.
We sat down for supper at 5:10-not bad! And I sat in the rocker with a wailing baby while everybody else ate, Jesse fell asleep soon after they were finished eating, so I ate supper alone, quiet, and peaceful! And while everybody was outside, I sat in the house and held a sleeping child, and enjoyed the peaceful, cleaned up house. It was nice. I wondered outside with baby dear looking for a babysitter while I fixed a snack for supper.
And that marks another day in the life of a Mom! I love what I do and love my children!
