Take Time to Breath

This past week I have had a canker sore. Why? Probably because I am stressed. My life is so busy that sometimes I have to remember to breath. My typical day -

6:45 - wake up and workout (run between 3- 4 1/2 miles)
7:50 - shower/dress
8:30 - wake up Ella and Kaiya
8:40 - 9:15 - Feed the kids, get Ella and Jett dressed, put my makeup on, make sure Kaiya is dressed. Have Kaiya straighten her bedroom. Load Jett in car seat. Make sure Ella has bag and shoes on. Load everyone in car.
9:30 - Walk Ella into preschool
9:45 - get home and start school stuff with Kaiya
10:00 - 11:40 - Work with Kaiya on school, take care of Jett (on good days he sleeps some of this time), do housework, laundry, feed Jett, remind Kaiya about 5 times that she needs to do school stuff, catch up on emails or help with Puget Sound Moving. Get kids back in car.
12:00 - pick up Ella
12:20 - Make kids lunch
1:00 - Help Kaiya with school, distract Ella from bugging Kaiya, take care of Jett, break up fights, wipe Ella after she goes to bathroom, get Ella a drink, make sure Jett doesn't hurt himself
3:30 - 3:50 - start getting the kids ready to leave, make sure Kaiya is dressed for dance and has her water bottle and cell phone, pack snacks for Ella. Load kids in car. Take Kaiya to dance
4:15 - drop Kaiya off
4:35 - Get home, start dinner, clean up the house, try not to lose my temper too much with the kids. Ella hasn't taken a nap yet so she cries and fights with Jett.
6:00 - 6:30 - Cirdan gets home. Then I leave to pick up Kaiya
7:30 - 8:30 - Get Kaiya and go home. Get the kids ready for bed and wrestle with them to go to sleep. Ella usually stays up WAY too late (10 pm) and Jett usually goes to sleep around 9.
10:00 - Sit down and try and relax - but still have kids come out and not want to go to sleep.

Other things? I have been helping out with dance and fundraising so I make cake pops about once a week. I am the secretary in the primary and the secretary for the Xtreme parents association. I try to fit in grocery shopping. In between everything I try to keep my house clean. I am convinced I need a house cleaner so that I can spend more time on other things I need to do. Our life is fun...but busy! I better get used to it because I don't see it slowing down any time soon!
