Busy

Will I ever not feel busy again?  I heard that radio jockeys have every minute planned out in advanced.  Some even break it into 30-second intervals.

That's what my life is like now with 4 kids. . .for example:

7:40 - wake up

7:41 - no, serious, wake up, the kids are screaming

7:42 - calm the kid who is crying

7:43 - get the oldest out of bed

7:44 - shuffle the two younger girls downstairs

7:45 - tell the oldest to get out of bed, but this time louder

7:46 - get bowls for everyone out

7:47 - address complaints about breakfast while serving them whatever I can reach

7:49 - you forgot pants, go put pants on

7:49 - clean up Y's spilled bowl

7:50 - try to get caught up on the dishes

7:53 - get the baby out of the crib, all things from here on out are one-handed

7:55 - tell the kids to eat faster

7:56 - have kids put bowls in the sink

7:57 - tell N to go get dressed

7:58 - teach V and Y to make their beds

7:59 - tell N to get dressed faster

8:00 - Teach V and Y to get themselves dressed

8:04 - finish getting myself dressed

8:05 - get my work clothes and computer packed up and ready to go

8:09 - tell N she can't wear a shirt for both her tops and bottoms

8:10 - See if Dani has finished the lunches

8:11 - N is clothed, needs shoes and backpack

8:12 - address complaint that V and Y are now bored

8:13 - finish packing

8:15 - out the door to go to school/work for the day

And I won't try to scare you with Dani's schedule :S
