My morning started slow with my hubby bringing me coffee and
toast in bed. Then I was occupied with supervising kid chores until their bus
came late today. One Wednesday a month the children have a ‘late start day at
school’ That was today. So some parents spend lots of time cleaning up after
their kids, the other parents spend all of their time cleaning up after their
kids. In an effort to clean up ‘less’ I supervised my three boys cleaning
efforts until their bus came.
My husband asked me to watch the computer screen as he practiced an online Colorado Drivers
test. Some of the answers literally changed every practice test. So we laughed at the
results that are skewed to make you think you failed, and understood why the
website has a link that says “noticed any errors on the test” We noticed….We spent some time on international communication with our kids in Mozambique.
After that, I ate some left over pizza with him, and headed
to Downtown Denver where my school campus is located. My drive is usually under
an hour. My Wednesday class is only once a week, so it is extended. When my
class was over, I talked with one of the moms who is coming to our boys’
birthday party this weekend as I walked from the center of my campus to my car
parked in the cheap car lot. Saving dollars and cents, and getting a little bit
of cardio. (I will keep telling myself that)
The party call was nice. We discussed a back-up plan if the
weather doesn’t permit an outside celebration. Spring in this part of Colorado
can be full of surprises. I’m hoping and praying that we are surprised with
sunshine! ;-)
I got home around 5:20 had dinner. Helped my boys with
homework. Wrote some important emails, and tried to ignore that fact that I
still have homework of my own to finish. My loving husband asked me if I was
working on my homework a few minutes after I got out of the shower.
I spent some time studying and working on homework. Then
decided that sleep will help me more than crunching in this sleepy state. So I’m
off to bed.
In my efforts to make you sleepy I have written about my
day. I would like to include a yawn here to help you take a nap or get some
sleep.
I chuckle….well, this is me. This is what I left Africa for. To further my education and that of our entire family. So that's kinda what we do, or something like that almost every weekday.

I totally didn't mention to of my favorite highlights of yesterday. Maybe because I felt crunched for time, and that I couldn't do them justice on such a busy evening. Well then. Note to self. Write a blog about how cute all four of my guys are cuddling down to watch one of our favorite family tv shows. And also blog about why the kids were asking why Mommy was laughing and shouting "woowhoo" so loudly after dinner. Cause that was part of my day too.
