I can’t believe it has been 8 days since I posted. If you have read this and this and this at Darling Hubby’s blog you know why.
Here is my daily schedule:
Beginning at 6:00 AM
Get up
feed baby
shower
straighten house
get everyone else up
day care kids arrive
feed baby
start breakfast
feed kids
change all 6 diapers
clean up after breakfast
start my referee job (there are 4 one year old in the house after all)
start lunch
feed baby
feed kids
change ALL 6 diapers
everyone goes down for a nap (except for those that fell asleep from exhaustion for a short power nap)
then I play referee some more
clean up from lunch
pick up toys
feed baby
get everyone up from nap
change all 6 diapers AGAIN
clean up toys for daycare kids parents arrival
Hubby comes home (THANK GOD!)
daycare kids leave
start supper
feed baby
eat
clean up after supper
baths to all 5 children (the ones living in our house)
bedtime
feed baby again
go to bed
And my day ends at 11:00
Notice no where in the middle does it say “write in blog” or “check email” or even “put on make up”
Thanks be to God that I have a wonderful helpmate. I couldn’t do any of this without the support of Richard. He is a wonder father and God knew what he was doing when he chose him for me as a spouse. At lunch he helps feed the crew and at supper he does the same…….even when he is dead tired. And ladies trust me he has a reason to be dead tired. He gets up with the baby in the middle of the night just as much as I do. He is a true “daddy warrior”
Hopefully this weekend things will calm down a little and I can get back to my blogging responsibilities. The two boys we have might go home to their grandmas this weekend and the other two go for a weekend visitation. Gonna be a quiet weekend. I only have one more week for babysitting. I gave my 2 weeks notice Tuesday and that will relieve a lot of stress and hopefully not make me so tired.
Well time to go change diapers.


This would turn me to drinking. I babysat only 2 kids this week and I was seriously considering hard liquor by day 2.
I’m glad God’s gifted you with this ministry….and glad it wasn’t me
Yea well you know why I am so excited that my babysitting job is going to end. In addition to the foster children I have 4 other children I babysit. 2 – 1 year olds, a 3 year old and a 4 year old. Only 2 more days. WooooooooHooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I miss your posts. I know that you are busy and I would call but never know when it is a good time.
I miss you!!
