My homeschool morning schedule interrupted

This day was like most others  – our homeschool morning schedule was interrupted.  Regular schedule or program thrown out the window.  Well, life happens and that is okay.

• Hubby left a warm cup of creamy coffee on my nightstand. (I love hubby.)
• Hubby kissed me goodbye. (I really love hubby.)
• Hubby left for work.  (This makes me so sad.)
• Kids are super quiet so Mommy can sleep a little more while they do their chores and their schoolwork i.e. Math, Writing and Bible reading. (I love my kids.)
• Kids are too quiet.

Normal morning ends.

• Eldest child is not feeling well – he goes back to bed.  School for the rest of them is now delayed.  (We work together.)
• Mom has to make 10.5 phone calls for an upcoming road trip.
• Mom then checks email.
• Mom finds email from a company that sent her a package (a HUGE stainless steel sink) the previous day and she has to send it back.
• Fed-Ex is scheduled to show up at any moment.

Somehow Mom gets dressed (she thinks)

• Mom has to take the entire laptop into the office to print out a label for the huge sink mistake.
• Mom finds huge mess in the office left by dogs and kids.
• Mom then calls for kids (non-sick ones) to clean up the mess.
• Mom then has to find packing tape to re-tape the mysterious HUGE sink in her living room.
• All kids are now advised to find any tape because the Fed-Ex man could be here any moment.
• Mom finds roll of packing tape in craft closet.

Mom then looks at cool coffee on nightstand and remembers the phone calls.

• Mom tapes box.
• Mom needs lessons on how to tape box securely.  Next time Mom will use hot glue gun.
• Mom realizes she is not dressed well.
• Mom then goes back to her room and checks more emails.
• Mom realizes she has an appointment at 3:00 p.m. that she has to do 2 hours of work before then.

Dad sends text message that he can’t come home for lunch.

• Mom realizes she has not had breakfast or the cup of delicious coffee.
• Mom then gets dressed a little better…like with “her” shirt this time.
• Mom then goes into kitchen and makes dinner in the crock-pot.
• Mom instructs kids to make their own lunch…PB and J tortilla roll-ups – their fave.
• Fed-Ex man shows ups with more “gifts” and takes the HUGE sink.

Morning is officially ended.
(We are not a public school.  My kids do not learn the same way I did in school.  And that is okay.  They are also learning when one part of the body hurts or is missing – others have to take up the slack.  My 2nd born took up his brother’s chores today.  It was refreshing to see him do it with joy.) 

#Sigh  I had so much more I wanted to do!  But, that is okay…life is still good and someone is getting their BIG sink soon.

iLoveMy5Kids has a new look.  It has officially changed from free Google Blogger Blog to a paid WordPress blog.

What does that mean you might be asking?  Well, it means it is easier for me to blog.  There might be a few hiccups here and there but hopefully nothing major.  I will be sending out a new post sharing some of the other neat changes as soon as I get a brief uninterrupted hour.  🙂

Blessings to you!  You are loved!
