A DAY IN THE LIFE....

Blake started football practice 2 days ago. "Three-a-Days". Since I have been fortunate to have the last 3 days off work, I got to do the early morning drop off and the noon pick-up.
Here was yesterday's "Three-a-day" for this football mom:

6:30 - wake up, get dressed, feed pets, eat breakfast.
6:45 - wake Blake
6:57 - wake Blake
7:00 - tell Blake "you REALLY need to get up."
7:15 - greet 3 boys at the door who have been dropped off for carpool. Hear Kayla complain from her bed that the boys shouldn't ring the doorbell.
7:20- drive 4 boys to practice.

11:00 - drive Kayla to jr. high to pick up school supplies and look around the building.
11:10 - tell Kayla "I am NOT staying here all day so you can socialize with your friends."
11:27 - drive to high school to buy spirit wear.
11:40 - write check for ridiculous amount so we can all look "spirited" in the bleachers. Feel guilty.
11:45-12:10 - sit in high school lobby and watch blinding rain come down, wishing they were selling spirit umbrellas.
12:10 - dash to van in sideways rain, wishing they were selling spirit umbrellas. Had to leave the highscool so the secretaries could go eat lunch.
12:10-12:30 sit in van, wet and grumpy, watching the clock until the boys get in.
12:30 - greet 3 boys as they drip into the van. One is staying in Maroa. Listen to Blake complain about something at home - finally blow up and raise voice at Blake in front of his friends. Tell him I am tired of his complaining as soon as he gets in the van.
12:47 - accept Blake's apology. Tell him not to call people "freak."
1:00 - arrive home - fix Blake 5 scrambled eggs with ham and cheese. Marvel at how much he eats and that he had better table manners when he was 3.
4:30 - wake Blake
4:45 - wake Blake
5:00 - tell Blake "you REALLY need to get up, you don't want your ride to have to wait." Get griped at by Blake for waking him.
6:00 - order pizza for self and Kayla and her friend. Paul is traveling, why cook?
8:30 - greet Blake and notice the mud on him from head to toe. Remember when he was a toddler and loved the mud. Some things never change.
8:45 - watch Blake eat a WHOLE 14 inch pepperoni pizza. Marvel at how much he eats and that he had better table manners when he was 3.
9:15 - hear Blake get out of the shower, yell "good night Mom, I love you."

That was yesterday. Today is pretty much the same. EXCEPT. Add a trip to the hospital for a urinalysis and a trip to the store to buy eggs (see above note about his appetite) and soap and shampoo (3 showers a day for Blake alone.) And a trip at 1:30 to pick up Kayla's friend to take them to the pool. Show up at pool and notice sign on door: POOL CLOSED. Do mental head slap and say "phone first." Oh and since practice is early tonight (4-6:30 instead of 6-8:30) realize I will be driving carpool tonight too since everybody else is still working. What's this about being a STAY AT HOME MOM?
