A Day In The Life...

Today was a little busy, though a little backwards than what I had planned. Why I still try to "plan" my days with two toddlers is beyond me.

Nicholas slept till 10:30 am this morning. (He went to sleep around 8:30 last night.) My plan was to get everyone dressed and get bulletin boards at church done this morning. Well, instead of being able to leave around 8:00 or 9:00 am, I left at 12:30 pm. The boards are complete and the church bulletins are "stuffed." This frees up my Saturday morning and I am pleased about that. This left me with lots of time to get a few things done around the house this morning. Why I bother picking up after two toddlers...again...beyond me. I try to take the advice of my good friend Kim who told me not to bother trying to clean unless company's coming. But I just can't function unless the kitchen is clean. If the kitchen is clean, all is well in my world and I can go on about my day.

Allison is providing a running commentary on the world around her. She tells me that the inflatable Santa in someone's front yard has a "Party hat" on. She lets me know when we pass a "big truck" or a "big yellow bus." She lets me know when Nick is crying, when he falls, and even when she pushes him over ("Alli push Nick, Momma.") She asks for her "Sa, Chelsea, Scotty" quite often during the day. When I say, "They are not here", she lets me know where they all are. "Sa is at work, Chelsea soccer, Scotty working." ("Sa" is her aunt Lisa, by the way, and her favorite person EVER.) She even tells me her daddy is at the office and that she wants to go to see him there. (I want to go see him there, too - he's at the office quite a bit these days.) He works hard and we appreciate him. And she is a sweet and funny little girl and I thank God for her daily.

I'm not sure why I called this "A Day In The Life" because tomorrow will surely be different! But I pray to wake up in the morning and do it all again (though probably not in this order!)
