Today I packed lunches while hubby gets kids ready for school...I drove 4 kids to 3 schools...worked out for 20 minutes... did 2 loads laundry... cleaned kitchen and THEN volunteered at the middle kids school. When I arrived my 5 yr. old was angry she had eaten her snack at snack time and wanted to be sure I knew that she didn't like the rest of her lunch and she wasn't going to eat it. Those were her first words to me into the classroom. Makes me wonder WHY I continue to go and help. Last week she made a picture of herself dead and gave it to the teacher and told her thats how she feels when I leave after volunteering? Am I helping or hurting? Hard to tell, too early to know. The rain forced me to bring the girls home at 1pm instead of 3:30. This is GREAT news for them BAD news for me. my FB and Blog time will certainly be cut short and their bedrooms messed up quickly and there will be snacks to be made and crayons to pick up....would I have it any other way NO, I love having them around... right now I made top ramen, and i watched the 9 yr old and 5 yr old play Super Smash Bros Melee on Game Cube!
