Snapshot of the day

Instead of lamenting my bad blogging skills I'm just gonna journal a bit to remember all the goings on of this crazy time

6:00- woken up by Ella climbing into bed by me, I've gotten sooo bad at kicking her out when I am soooo tired (because I get up like 4 times a night, not comfy + cold + have to go to the bathroom + kids waking up = not good sleep)
7:00- Lily joins the party and after 10 super squished minutes I finally get up with them make eggo waffles and go back to bed
8:00-Wake Chad up to get ready to got to the Chiropractor again (he threw his back out yesterday)
8:30-get Chad his breakfast and nag him till he gets out the door at 10 to 9 (I'm so not a nice pregnant wife)
9-get the girls dressed for dance and get their fundraiser info all put together
10- Chad gets back and we all load up to take Lil to dance, then I take Chad to work and get back to the dance studio in time for Ella's Class at 10:45
11:30- Leave dance to head home to change clothes for school, get lunch ready and head to the bus at 12:20
12:30- Try to get Ella to take a much needed nap, after 15 min, I give up and we watch the Grinch movie for a second, I put my swollen feet up and think who's body is this?
1-Run to go pick up food storage at the Cannery I had ordered and struggle to load 4 cases of meat into the car, while Ella dressed as a mermaid charms every senior missionary there
1:30- Get a drink at the gas station (this is so bad but really, one of the only pleasures right now)
1:45- Garage Door guy calls he's almost to my house to figure out why my garage door went kaput
2:00- Garage Door is fixed, YAY!! I so didn't want to load kids and baby in the cold weather outside this winter
Spend the next 25 min. organizing stuff to make space for the car, and unload the food storage while Ella finds lots of stuff that she needs to unpack and take inside
3:45- Lil gets home, and talks about her day, how she learned a song about Indians that sounds like a bunch of chanting with a chorus of "Pow Wow" and a fist pump!
4-Turn on the rest of the Grinch so I can vacuum, mop, and fabreeze the house quickly (I'm turning into a clean nazi which is frustrating because I can't really clean well or bend over really
4:30- a friend comes over to play with Lil, and they sing and dress up and play vampires, while I sort through more baby clothes hand me downs
5:30- Friend goes home, and we get to hear where my little brother is going to serve his mission! So exciting.
5:45- let the girls play "scavenger hunt" for dinner, they pick out yogurt, string cheese, fruit leather, and mac n cheese
6:30- try to sneak in a bath by myself for some relaxing, after 10 min the girls join me for a squished tubby, where they very curiously asked me all about how the baby is gonna come out.
7-Finally convince them to have a race to get their pjs on and surprise me with their choices, and feel the babe try to stretch his little limbs in the cramped quarters
7:30- about to go pick up Chad, then read with the girls, family scriptures and prayers, brush teeth, beg the kids not to get out of bed, and then prob collapse on the couch with ice cream for dinner and hang with Chad and watch something

Tomorrow's highlights: A drama workshop for Lil, ward playgroup visiting an ice cream shop for the letter "I", a Dr. appt for me, helping in Lil's class, then hopefully a date with my sweetie to the temple!
