Ordinary Life

I keep trying to think of stuff to blog about and I don't have anything exciting.  My life is pretty ordinary for a working mom .....
  • Spending countless hours on the soccer field
  • Making lunches and dinners for kids who either don't eat them or complain the whole time they are forced to eat them
  • Trying to work with a teacher who doesn't e-mail (even though she has a school issued MAC) and isn't the most communicative
  • Trying to teach a 4 year old that she isn't in charge and that screaming will not get her what she wants
  • Painting cabinets in my free time (uh - what's that)
  • Trying to train for my half marathon that is 4 weeks away and raise a few more dollars in the process (thanks to everyone who donated - you rock!)
  • Wishing my house would clean itself
  • Listening to countless stories about a girl in Chatty's class who can speak Chinese (umm... duh - she is from China)
  • Wishing for cooler weather
  • Enjoying Sunday evening dinners on the patio (or the porch as Bia refers to it)
  • Trying to spend more time as a family ....
So that's pretty much it.  Nothing extraordinary, just our ordinary (but good) life!

I feel your pain. If only there were a few more hours in the day. A girl can dream, right?

Really Chatty? Impressed with 2 languages? Geez.

Have her read Suri's blog for what is really important.

There is never enough time in the day!

*sigh*

When you figure out that thing with your four year old pass it on to me. I could use the secret.

Train for a 1/2 marathon? I envy you. My running has been very sporadic lately. I'm sucking it up.

If you figure out how to get your house to clean itself, let me know!

Happy Wednesday!
