Multitasking



This is only the second day that I have had to get the boys to school with Ivey in tow. Yesterday, she wanted to eat breakfast at 8:00 instead of 7:30, so I had to nurse her with one hand while making two bowls of grits with the other. All in all, it was a successful morning. I was pretty frazzled and ended up going through carpool without so much as looking at myself in a mirror, but the boys made it to school with a packed lunch, book bag, and jacket. Not too bad.

Today, they not only had to be out the door with the previously mentioned items, but they also had to be IN COSTUME. Ivey had some issues with reflux during the night, so I pretty much didn't sleep from 3:30am on. I was a zombie on a mission. We did make it to school on time, in costume. But, it didn't happen without Asa asking me why I was being so grumpy. I guess it will take me a little while longer to be able to conquer the morning routine with a smile. Scratch that. I couldn't even manage that one before I had kids.

Ivey and I made it to the boys' Fall Party today. Asa and Addison were very happy to show off their new baby sister!
