Some days we rock at this Mum thing some days we just wish we didn't have kids!
I woke up today and thought to myself... I am going to own this day! And I did!
Yesterday was the first day of holidays so I revelled in the 9:23am sleep in and moseyed through the day. Went and did groceries with four children... as I forgot to do click and collect! That was super fun! It was a good lazy day, everything was still done, but I didn't really do anything above the ordinary. You know, the beds got made, everyone was fed, probably yelled a few too many times, left overs for dinner and kids went to bed late...
So today I set out to conquer the day! I did still really enjoy my 9am sleep in! Minus Frankie coming in twice and waking me from my snoozing to tell me he wanted me to put the big Gorilla TV show on... He must of found something else to do as he stopped asking.
Anyway, so Charlie, Lucie and I emerge from my bed at 9am. We all have breaky, I make all the beds, strip the sheets off my bed. Dry and fold 2 loads of washing, Charlie has a nap.
Make all the kids lunch and feed them before leaving at 12pm with Callie and Charlie (thanks Mema for looking after the other two munchkins). The two C's and I head off to the doctor's for Callie's health assessment to set up a health care plan. A health care plan for those who don't know is basically a care plan with 5 discounted sessions for an OT or speechie or both. So we finish off there and leave with our health care plan. I'm smiling as ultimately this will be super helpful to Callie girl and will help ease the pinch on our wallets. OT and Speech isn't cheap!
We do a quick stop at the shops for face wash... I only forgot it 4 times the week before! So that is a win in my books!
Drop off some Scentsy orders, fill up the car with fuel for our trip to Mackay tomorrow. (You're welcome Jared).
We get home at 2:30pm, between 2:30pm and 8pm I...
Dry and fold another load of washing, Callie has her tutoring session. Talk to one of my teamies about her upcoming first Scentsy party tonight (Hey Jewelz). Make a Lasagne, yell at the kids a couple times for making it rain Shopkins... (those little buggers are everywhere)!
There was a slight moment of chaos and one of my lovely customers popped over at that exact moment to pick up some Scentsy! I'll paint the picture of that moment she was greeted with on arrival at my front door... Charlie on his play mat crying for bath and bed. The lounge room trashed from master builder Franks, blocks as far as the eye can see. Callie and Frankie fighting over something, Lucie sprawled out on the couch watching YouTube on my phone. The Thermo beeping at me cause my béchamel sauce was ready. TV on in the background...
Those moments of chaos make it even more rewarding when you are on the edge of going "ahhh crap" and "OK I've got this!"
I totally had it tonight! Turbo Cassie came out right then and there.
Firstly I popped the Lasagne in the oven blitzed over the kitchen with a wipe, packed the dishwasher in record time. Put the kids dinner on the table, scooped up Charlie and bathed him and put him in his Jammies. It was then I remembered I hadn't re made the bed, as Charlie still sleeps in our room in the bassinet I knew that had to happen before I put him to bed.
Made our king size bed by myself! This is a feat on it's own!! The mattress is so big and bulky but that fitted sheet was smoother then a babies bottom when I was finished with it.
Fed Charlie and put him off to bed. The kids had finished dinner by this time so, bathed and jammied them up. Franks was a little champ and cleaned up his master mess.
Ate my dinner while it was hot! All of this before 7pm!
Then I put all three children to bed by 8pm!
Called Jared just to make sure he hadn't got lost... (he's helping his brother finish a job, so he's exempt this time.)
While I was showering after they were all asleep. I had a moment to reflect on everything I had managed to accomplish today. I gave myself a pat on the back and thought to myself...
You totally rocked the socks off today Cas!
