Joy

Quinn is sick.  After I got approximately 3 hours of sleep last night, I was up at 5.  I finished worked, made breakfast hahs for the fam.  I got kids to school by 7:15.  Came home and played with sick but somewhat happy baby until 8:30.  We both laid down for a nap for a couple hours.  Quick visit to my sick mama to say hello.  Back home, made myself some leftover hash for lunch, worked for an hour.  Picked up kids at 2:35.  Got home by about 3 (after thinking my car was going to break down because it was emitting a horrible smell).  I worked for another 30 minutes while the girls kept themselves entertained.  Neighbor girl invited them over for an hour while dinner cooked (whole wheat calzone with prosciutto and pesto, DELISH) while Quinn napped again.

Girls got home and begged to go to hobby lobby because Ainsley wanted to make a princess mirror she saw online (sure, why not right?)  So I told them they could go if they cleaned the family room.  They obliged, spiffed up the family room, ate a quick slice of calzone and off we went to Hobby Lobby.

Kids behaved, chose their crafting supplies, I grabbed me a treat on the way home and now we're back, kids are in bed, Quinny is asleep, I'm almost done with work and it's only 8pm.

The kitchen didn't get cleaned and the laundry didn't get done but no one got yelled at, my beauties are happy (even the sick one) and I'm calling today a success.

Oh, and Jim is working late, but I saved him a big fat slice of dinner :)
