Week in My Life – Tuesday

We started our Tuesday off on the wrong foot.  Without daddy around, nobody was sleeping well and we all overslept.  Big S missed the bus and we had to drive him to school.  Luckily, he got to school on time so I just swung through carline.  Little S is not so happy about being in the car at this early of an hour!

After dropping Big S off, we raced back home to get Little S ready for PreK.  While she was at PreK, I stopped by Target for the most important part of our road trip.

Swedish Fish!  We buy the $5 bag of Swedish Fish whenever we go on a road trip.  It is the only time I purchase them so when my kids see a bag of Swedish Fish, they know a trip is soon to follow!  Usually, I bag the Swedish Fish in individual snack ziplocs so I can just toss them into the back seat as needed during the drive.

All of the sudden it was time to pick up Little S.  That three hours sure goes by quickly!  We went to our monthly lunch with some of my pals and then headed home to get Big S off of the bus.

After homework time, the kids played outside together while I got some draft posts ready to go for my other website, Pensacola with Kids.  I try to post things to do, calendar events, and more daily or every other day.  When I go out of town, I try to get as much as I can in draft so that I am not spending the evenings of my trip writing blog posts.  When I am back in the hotel and things have settled down, all I have to do is a quick re-read of the post and hit publish.

Dinner tonight was chicken nuggets and chips (*gasp* Call Food Police!) in front of the television (*double gasp* Call the Parenting Police!).  With daddy out of town, we are not as strict with meal times and after four days of arguing with the kids to sit and eat at the table I just didn’t have it in me.  We leave to pick him up in a few hours and the kids cannot wait to see him!

Quote of the day: (As he is hugging me) “Mommy…you are the bestest mommy I ever have.  Well, you’re the only mommy I have but you can still be the bestest.” Big S
