My week........ ( the highlights of each day)

Sat (9/20) Wake up and start getting kids ready for football, soccer, cheer. 10 min. before leaving for soccer, Jake gets his foot slammed in a bedroom door (Jayla trying to get her bros. out of her room) . Dan takes older 3 to soccer game; I go to ER to get stitches for Jake (5 in all). Get home in time to shove a chick-file wrap in my mouth and head off to football with the rest of the fam.

Sun. Get up and get stuff and kids ready for church. Go to 2 hours of church, leave early with my Fam and another Fam in the ward. Change and hook up with other said Fam. to go to the Broncos game (don't judge me!) Enjoy and bake in the sun at Broncos game, but I WAS at the Bronco game, and watch them beat the Saints.

Mon. Get kids to school, drop little one off at Aunts house and go volunteer at kids school. Pick up Zach and then Jake. Get home, try to get some things done. Pick up kids, get them home and turn into drill sargent barking orders "Get at least half of your homework done!", "Go get ready for cheer/ football!", "Come on! Hurry! We are on a time schedule here!", "Lets Go!" Leave for practices. Come home, eat dinner, do homework, bed.

Tues. Finish homework. Get kids to school. Run over to church and set up for HFPE (put everything I needed to set up by the door last night). Get home and shower. Pick up Zach. Feed the boys lunch in the car on the way to my eye appointment. Get new contacts. Go on a hunt for Cheer stuff for homecoming (yes our little league has their own homecoming) Hit Michaels, JoAnns, and Hobby Lobby. Pick up kids. Get home and get last minute HFPE things together. Dan gets home just in time for me to leave to attend HFPE (blog more about that later).

Wed. Get kids to school. Watch nephews for a couple hours. Get some things done around the house. Take Jake to Dr.'s to get stitches out. Cancel piano lessons for kids. Pick up kids. Then the drill sargent starts, again. Repeat of Mon.

Thurs. Get kids to school. Make sashes for cheerleaders for homecoming game Sat. (blog more later), and bows. Try to put the house back together. Pick up kids. Have a nice afternoon, no homework because there is no school tomorrow. Our quietest evening.

Fri. Get up and put the house in order before the 4 "tornado's" wake up. Watch my good friends kids. (she still had to go to work, bummer) Kids played all day, i made 19 individual football banners. Picked up my mess and the other messes. Time to go to practice. Uncle Dave came to watch kids so Dan and I can go out (as late as it may be).- THANKS! -Tanner spent the night at a friends, so he only had 3 kids.

Sat. Get up and go to target to get all the snacks needed for the day. Pick up Tanner. Get all kids ready for football/ cheer and soccer. G'ma and G'pa took Zach to soccer and Dan and Tanner head to football (the games overlapped). I finish getting ready and help Jayla, and then we leave. G'parents bring Zach and Jake to football-THANKS!-. Got home, and ate lunch, and got some house work done. Picked up Dan's dry cleaning. Got ready for R.S. broadcast. Met mom and sis. at stake center to watch the broadcast. -THANK YOU GUYS!-

Sun. Jayla and I got ready and went to church. Dan and boys stayed home; Dan had to pack for his trip to L.A.. Went to church for and hour and came home, ate an early lunch and took Dan to airport. Went over to friends house to watch the Bronco game they recorded. Came home and tried to get ready for tomorrow and the rest of the week without a husband (he gets home basically Fri.)

One day I will miss this chaos. So for now, I try to enjoy it and relish the moments before I become obsolete.(some days I am better at this than others).
