Daddy is in Cali on a business trip, so it is just me and my girls for a few days. They all three woke me up at 6:20am. The early time is not unusual, but thankfully they don't always get up at the exact same time. So, here are my first thoughts this AM. My neighbor said it best, when she said, "It is like triage around here, we are always figuring out whose needs come first."
~Reagan is crying and feels warm, maybe has a temperature. She needs 2 breathing treatments, a clean pull-up and orange juice.
~Gracyn needs to be nursed, changed and given her morning reflux medicine.
~Addison (and Mommy too) wants breakfast. She wants it downstairs, so she can watch Tom and Jerry.
~The neighbors sweet Beagle, Bitsy needs fed and taken out. We are babysitting her this week.
~Maggie the Dog is sick, needs to be persuaded out of her crate, and convinced to eat, potty and take medicine.
~Thoughts of the full dishwasher and laundry are fleeting as I scurry around to take care of the people/pet needs.
Reagan won this morning! The sick child gets first dibs for Mommy in this house. Thankfully she didn't have a fever, and her breathing treatments finally seem to be easing her cough. With a little muti-tasking and a long morning nap for Gracyn all of this was actually done, with a bonus shower for Mommy, by 10:30. Then we were off to the mall, to visit the T-Mobile store, about why my BRAND-NEW cell phone died a sudden and surprise death for no apparent reason yesterday!

I liked your "it's like a triangle." So true, so true. Always trying to figure out who I need to help first. It's hard being a single mommy isn't it?? Hope that Reagan feels better soon and glad you got a bonus shower!! You go girl!! :)
Wishing you at least fifteen minutes of peace and quiet today!!
Does the talk of a plane trip to Texas include The Woodlands, this time??? :o)
Love you! A
SUPER MOM to the rescue... I'm impressed how much you did before 10:30, but I guess if your up at the crack of dawn you might have time. Take Care! May God fill you with wisdom and cooperative kids while Tommy is gone.
