Well, I thought I would give a half-time report from our house. We have all survived the morning/early afternoon and have accomplished the following
-everyone is alive
- everyone was offered a (semi) well rounded lunch - and 5 of the 8 actually ate it
- two loads of laundry have been completed
- Everyone completed their school work
- The dishes for breakfast ad lunch are completely done (thanks to my kids)
- All kids are "enjoying" their mandatory hour of "room time" or nap time for the little ones
- I am enjoying a cup of tea
So, despite some rocky moments and a few tears (mine and the kids) we are fairing fairly well. The rest of the day should be smooth sailing!
Oh, I forgot to add that we have also completed the collection of all specimens required by the doctor's office (if you get me drift) and boy am I glad to be done with that!!
glad to know no one died today! anyways, I'm glad all is well with you.
