Tuesday and Wednesday

Okay, Tuesday was a lot like Monday except that Brody had a fun field trip to Cortez today where they went to the Rec Center for swimming and stuff so I had to be sure he had a swimsuit, towel, $$, and all that good stuff ready to go before he left for school. So a ho hum day of regular things to do. However, in the evening at 6:00 Delaney had a band concert (she plays the clarinet.) As soon as it was over she had to go straight to a volleyball game ~ luckily it was at the same location ~ whew! At home we had the regular dinner, homework, etc. to get taken care of. In the meantime I had a few loose ends to tie up for the fundraiser I was in charge of for the PTSA at the middle school, so I was making calls, delivering stuff, etc. Layne had to go to work so at some point he left. Plus, we were having a pizza party for the top sellers of the fundraiser at school on Wednesday, so pizza had to be ordered and I had to just plain get organized!
So, Wednesday it was a typical morning with the kids and babysitting. However, I had 'Crazy Bread' to make and have ready for the pizza party. Javin went home a little early and then I dropped off Nash at a friend's house and took Ev with me to the middle school. Thank goodness Layne works there and he didn't have anything too crucial going on so he took Ev, who watched Finding Nemo on the computer. Of course, I find out as soon as I get there that Coop is having a 'meltdown' in language arts, so I went and found him and sorted that all out; guess it was a good thing I was there! So, I fed 40 kids pizza and stuff, checked in at the 'Student Store', which I am in charge of and just generally spent a couple of hours at the middle school with crazy teens and pre-teens. Left there, picked up Nash and his friend Reo, brought them home to play and got Ev down for a quick nap. An hour later we were all off to pick up Brody and Reo's sister from the elementary school, then off to the middle school to pick up Delaney and Cooper. Delaney decided to stay at school and catch up on some work before the term ends Friday. And they asked Layne to stay and do after-school-tutoring which means he is now there until 5:30 p.m. So back home we go, stop & get the mail first, and then there is Reo's mom waiting to take him and his sister home. Then Delaney's classmates mom called to talk about the science project her daughter and Delaney had to do that night that was due tomorrow ~ first I'd heard about it! Delaney and Layne came home at 5:30 and I finished getting dinner ready and everyone fed. Then it was time for Brody's baseball game, so Layne took him and Ev down to the park, while the rest of us went to the store to pick up stuff for Delaney's sudden science project and then it was take Delaney to church for a young women's activity and then head over to the park to cheer Brody on in his young baseball career. Then hurry home because Brody has to pee :) and it's time for more baths, showers, etc. Keep in mind that all the while Laundry is going on since I don't have a set day and I have enough of it to do loads every single day. I had to go to the grocery store for what was now the 2nd time today to get milk and eggs, which of course I couldn't get before when I was going straight to the park! So then home to my crazy, albeit loving, household where we had to get everyone settled down for the night. Plus Cooper~and all the other 6th graders~are going to Moab on Thursday for a fun field trip, so I commence making sure he has everything he needs and of course the whole time in the back of my mind I am worrying that he will get lost and left behind in Moab with all the crunchy granola people! In the midst of this Delaney comes home and starts to work on her project, which she in the meantime "forgot all about"!
