Get the kids up and dressed and teeth brushed and breakfast in the tummies + Get Logan on the bus + Pack up and head out to a playdate at the park + Get home and change Sylvie into jammies + Do dishes + Change Sylvie back into real clothes + Make lunch + Meal plan and coupon based on weekly ads and figure what to get at the grocery store while the kids are cutting up newspaper ads, playing some very messy water game on the kitchen table while begging/threatening them to get them to please eat their lunch + Go to the park + Get a bazillion groceries (saving $45 with all my planning!!!!) + Lugging all that stuff inside while kids obsess over which bag contains mell-marshellos (according to Logan) + Put said groceries away + Empty old stuff from fridge + Wash and cut up strawberries to fill kids tummies + Start baking sweet potatoes for dinner casserole = ONE TIRED MOMMA!!!!!
And to think, I had this wild idea that today I would clean. Try Survive!
Okay, time to break up some sibling rivalry and perhaps attempt to clean up, do a load of laundry, keep making dinner, get Logan to do his homework, plan for a presentation at his school tomorrow, etc etc etc etc etc. I really miss Sylvie's naps on days like today!!!!

About Me
- Special K
- I'm just an average Chicagoan making her way in the world. I spent 7 years living in Seattle and it profoundly formed who I am. I spent 15 years of my life married to my soulmate, who has made my days full and bright and stood alongside me through thick and thin. I have three wonderful beautiful children who are my greatest creation yet. Logan is my 8-year-old quiet realist who has recently found his voice and has us laughing at all that is pouring out of his head. Sylvie is my 6-year-old Fairy Tale Princess who lives in the clouds and comes down to tell us we are "so funny" and make sure we know she is the center of our universe. My day job is a residential architect. I spent 7 years in college and about 12 years in the working world learning and I feel like I have about another 50 years worth of knowledge to gain on the subject. I was working part-time, though I am on a leave of absence to enjoy this third bundle of joy- Venice. The past years have led me down a crazy path of SAHM to working mom and I'm not quite sure where I'll end up. For now...I think I'll just write about it as it all happens.
