We left the house this morning at about 10:15AM and we did not come back home until 8PM. The whole day, all I could think is that some folks have days like this every day. I cannot fathom it-but I have to say-my hat is off to you. To manage a household, schedules and just life in general without having downtime for planning is phenomenal. Of course, I do realize that people play whatever hand they are dealt and do the best they can. I was a successful full-time college student (15 hours) despite working two jobs and living in an apartment on my own-we are marvelous creatures that can do whatever we set our minds to doing. Anyway, today was fun-we had two picnics and even picked up an extra child. Tonight I am mom to four girls. ( : This means tomorrow morning will be delightful-full of nice playtime OR it will be disasterous with lots of girl drama. Pray for the former with me!!

I just finished watching the debates and Governor Palin rocks the Kasbah!!! I had jealousy pangs that my friend Kristin got to be there. I hope she blogs every last detail!! This will be the best debate-so I am sorry if you missed it. McCain/Obama debates will be a let-down. How about Palin/Obama and McCain/Biden debates instead?? Oh wait, no one wants to watch a couple of old guys so I guess that wouldn't fly. heehee.

Tomorrow is Friday-or as we call it, housecleaning day. Hope you have a great one and a wonderful weekend.

PS-I know these are tough times and things are financially tight for everyone but every fast food place we passed today had a ginormous line at ALL different times of the day. I guess since we are down to eating out every once in a blue moon-I found it very shocking!!
