These Little Wonders

My life is mundane and yet there is never a dull moment. My days are full of kissing boo-boos, changing diapers, making bottles, answering questions about the number of levels on an aircraft carrier, fixing the Barbie dress that a little brother tore, changing diapers, doctors appointments, lots of coffee, changing diapers(seeing a pattern?), lesson plans, feeding kids....and that's before lunch. I love it, but hate the part where some people assume that because I homeschooling, I'm available. I'm not. My days are packed full, just maybe not the sort where I'm getting paid or physically absent from my home. My job is my home and all of its inhabitants. While I'm on the topic of things I do, I also would like to point out that just because I have four kids, I'm not a freak. I'm not a Duggar, I'm not sporting a bun and an ankle length denim skirt. Yes, I know where they come from and no, I'm not insane. So thanks for letting me clear up a few misconceptions. I wouldn't trade any part of my life if I could. Also, I'm considering keeping all four of my kids. They are the cats meow, or pajamas, or whatever. Yes, my hands are full...of blessings. Today we had an eye appointment. What a trip! Imagine for a moment that Myself, Aidan, Izzie, Noah, and Eli were all crammed into a tiny room for 1 1/2 hours and three out of five sets of eyeballs were dilated(I see a math lesson here...anybody? No? Okay - I see lessons everywhere. Hazard of the job.). It wasn't imagined. It was as real as the housewives of Orange County(Bad analogy. Those chicks are as real as the silicone in their ridiculously large boobs. Good times and blurry eyes.The "Doc" as Aidan called him told us no playing outside today and they took it like champs. Did they laze around the house and complain of excruciating boredom? Nope, they worked as a team and made cardboard race cars and a cardboard Barbie gymnastics studio. God bless them - they never fail to amaze. Adapt and overcome. Hubster to the rescue! He's taking us to the best restaurant in Abilene for dinner. Thank goodness because things are so blurry I would've botched up dinner.
