Talk about your chaos!

Okay..........today was one of those days that epitomizes the naming of this blog.


  • Up multiple times last night with Christian (asthma issues)
  • Kids out the door early so that I can go sit with my 16 year old nephew who is terminal
  • Getting little boys to my sister, Callie's, house
  • Christian not feeling well enough to go to school, so I end up taking him with me
  • While there, do some house cleaning since my sister is in the hospital
  • Get home, do a little laundry, but mostly just hold Ben, who is sick
  • Pick up Alden from school
  • Christian throws up twice and turns completely gray
  • Call Dana in a panic to see if he could leave early, because.........
  • Had a meeting with a child's teacher while.....
  • Dana takes Christian to the doctor
  • Get a call from my sister - my mom is in the hospital
  • Call the other siblings to let them know (there are 8 of us)
  • Phone dies - can't find other one in all the chaos
  • Frozen pizza or ramen for dinner? Take your pick!
  • While eating, home teachers show up (forgot they were coming)
  • Look around at all the carpet samples, torn up baseboards, and unswept floor (embarrassed)
  • While home teachers are here, Dr. office calls - Christian has pneumonia
  • Pick up prescription and also OJ for ........
  • Dana, who is not feeling well

I'm glad every day is not like this!
