Day 30

Today is my dad's birthday. So after church the kids and I took my parents out to eat. We let my dad pick since it was his bday. We ended up at a BBQ place. It was yummy!!! And kids eat for .99 on Mondays, so we'll be going back! Especially after Chris gets back b/c I know how much he likes BBQ. ;)

After lunch my parents needed to do some shopping so they took the 3 oldest kids. Madison and I ran to the store for a few things, then headed home. After my parents dropped off the other kids, we all took naps. Well, except Megan. She was having a hard time listening tonight, so she went to bed early. Which was apparently exactly what she needed b/c she went right to sleep!

The boys and I went through their toybox tonight. We boxed up some toys to get rid of, and almost filled a garbage bag w/ the broken toys. So their toybox is about half full now, but they are so excited about all the toys they had forgotten about or thought were lost. I need to work on Megan's one of these days. I also need to get my butt in gear and figure out what I'm doing w/ the moutain of clothes in my room! I think I'll call some charity tomorrow to come pick up a load. That will be a start.

The kids have been so funny lately! Caleb begs me all the time to let him vacuum. And Megan was asking to dust. LOL I promise, it's not slave labor - they actually enjoy helping out around the house.

A friend is having her baby tomorrow, so I plan to get up to the hospital to see her. We worked together years ago, and now we have the same doctor. And another mutual friend is the nurse for this doctor and also going to have a baby any minute. So I may be visiting 2 friends this week.

I know I skipped blogging last night. I just didn't feel up to it. I had a very blah day, and basically did nothing all day. Although, I think I needed a day "off". We've been constantly running it seems for weeks, so it was nice to just sit at home and vegg out. But today was much better. I felt better, and we had another productive day.
