Daily life

Today we will give you a snap shot of what the day looks like in our house!
6:30 am we wake and get up wake Aiden so he can shower while he is in the shower we make lunches for Keith, Aiden, and Emily.
We try and keep quiet and see if the girls will sleep a little long but often we have Alice on the bean bag drinking her morning bottle
by 7:10 most mornings we have packed lunches and made breakfasts! Weetbix(cereal) for everyone except Alice who has congee with fruit.
Then it is dressed for the girls and then bathroom, bags packed then some time before 8am we will have showers and get dressed and by 8:20 after yelling a few times at the kids and Keith we head out the door and then Keith takes Aiden across town to school and he goes to work.
I drive down the hill and then drop Emily at school and Alice to Daycare and by 8:30-9 am I am home again and start work well actually I probably have already done some work already!
Then by 2:45 I am in the car again picking up children or heading to visit programmes and it is a full on day with phone calls etc!

We were lucky on Tuesday and Friday to have our friend Lea come and clean the house!
Aiden arrives home most days at about 4 pm after catching the bus home from school.

Then while Emily and Alice are doing homework and having Afternoon tea I am dealing with Emails, Phone calls and making dinner and by 5:30 we are eating dinner however on Tuesday we have to have earlier dinners as Aiden has choir from 6-7:30pm then home more work or private emailing and the sit down and watch house and Boston legal!

Then if I have done my work and blog I crawl to bed!
The blessing tonight is the heavy rain falling on the tin roof will be just delightful!

Autumn has arrived and there is a distinct chill in the air at night!

So all in all a full on day which really won't change much tomorrow!
When I look at the faces of my family I know I am home! Wherever we are!
Hugs Ruth
