Slightly frantic chaos?

For those of you who didn't know, Wednesday evenings are normally slight chaos in my house. My family usually eats a late dinner, sometime between 7 and 9, or later if I'm supposed to be making it and I forget or am multitasking. Well, on Wednesdays, dinner has to be ready between 5 and 5.40. The reason for this is that the kids (my brother and sister) have Bible club that they go to at 6.25. They leave at 6. Anyone see the issue?

Today, another few wrenches got thrown into the works, just to gum it up a bit. My Mom had to go to the dentist at 2, and she and I had chiropractor appointments at 4. It turns out that my poor Mom has an infection under the crown of one of her teeth. This is not helping my family out much, because the thing really hurts her. Mom has a high pain tolerance, but this has been really rough on her. It's been hurting through any and all of the medicine that she's been taking for it. So, if you all would pray for her, we would greatly appreciate it.

All right, so while my Mom was at the dentist, I was at home with the kids. It was actually a fairly pleasant babysitting day in comparison with most of the others. I appreciated it and had a good time with my siblings.

My Mom and I ran over to the chiropractor, and got back around...hmm...4.40? Something like that, maybe a little later. It might've been closer to 5. I decided that I could wait to start dinner, because I was making mac&cheese and hot dogs. How hard can that be, right? Well, I started the food at 5.25, five minutes later than I meant to. (Oops! ^_^#) The water took much longer than normal to boil, and the food was ready at 6. *insert a frantic Lilly running through the house trying to serve food and get socks and shoes on the kids. (Aaaaaaaagh!!!)*

Eventually, they were out the door, about five minutes before they were supposed to be there.

-_-*

You can only do so much, right?

I ate around 6.40, and then came downstairs to clean my room at 7. I have to have a clear floor because I have a friend that's going to be spending the weekend with me. My room is still a sty, but it'll be done in time. Time being....tomorrow.

-_-*

I really should have thought this through more.....

The things that have been making this day worthwhile:

-The kids were really good

-I got to play my guitar for about two minutes

-I got to talk to one of my best friends on the phone for about 10-15 minutes

-I get to go upstairs and watch tv with my Mom in ten minutes

-God was/is/always will be good. Hallelujah, amen.
