Well this week was a little less hectic - thank goodness! I still worked all 5 days but left early a few of them. I have a lot to catch up on yet at work but I have come to terms with the fact that it will be there and I will catch up on it eventually.
Shawn's basketball season is all but over. They had a regional game this past Monday which they lost. He does still have one girl who advanced in the 3 point contest. So he will be taking her to shoot at a game on Monday and to each consecutive game until she doesn't advance. He and the other coaches will be going to the state game at the end of the month. Then, in my mind atleast, basketball will be officially over!
Valentine's Day was quite the chocolate overload in our house. Shawn got me chocolate covered strawberries and a rose...yum! He got Delainey some Hershey's kisses and a rose and Cait a rose and some crayons. In our house, crayons disappear quickly so Cait was absolutely thrilled with a brand new pack! Eli got some Hershey's kisses from Daddy. I got the girls a stuffed dog and a little box of chocolates. Eli got a little box of chocolates and some M&M's. THEN, Pop & Myra came with treats for the kids - a bear, a toy football and M&M's. Plus Shawn and I got some Hot Tamales and Cherry Cordial Hershey's kisses respectively. Oh, and Shawn recieved some Turtles and Reese's hearts from me. So, needless to say, our insulin was pumping overtime yesterday and probably will be until the chocolate supply is gone!
Tonight we are suppose to have a dinner at church and watch Fireproof. I've been looking forward to it for some time and hope we are still able to go. Cait has been croupy and snotty. But, she is acting fine so I may just give her some Motrin and send her on her way to the nursery if she isn't snotting too much. We are skipping out on morning church and relaxing at home....well more like she is sticking a book in my face and telling me all about what she sees :)
We don't have many huge plans for the week. It is a 3 day weekend thanks to President's Day! We will be enjoying a nice day at home tomorrow! Other than that, it is just work, work, work!
Life as a working Mom of 4 and wife to 1!! :)

What a week!
Wow it has been quite a week here - an exhausting one! Here is how it went.....
Monday - work, meeting at lunch, another meeting after that meeting, leave SIU to head home to pick up Eli, drive back to C'dale for his 4pm well check (very healthy!), drive back home, go to girls basketball game at 5:30 because Delainey is running a little scrimmage during half-time of the freshman game (so cute!), watch a little of the JV game, pick up Cait at the Hill's house, go home and start bedtime routine.
Tuesday - to work early at work on 2nd & 3rd grade kids with the students (many of which were challenging), head back to campus, work at my desk for a while, go shop at Aldi's, head home and unload groceries, eat supper, pick up Cait, head home and referee fights, start bedtime routine.
Wednesday - go to work early and observe classroom presentations for kindergarten kids all morning, the head to the other school to work on 2nd & 3rd graders, usher in 60+ kids in groups of 5-10 for exams, go home, get Cait, relax a little because Shawn is home...
Thursday - go to work early and work on 2nd & 3rd graders with challenging patients again, go back to SIU and do paperwork, sterilize instruments, pack supplies for the next day, stay at work a little longer than I intended to, go home, Shawn picks up Cait and heads to a ballgame, take all 3 kids to family reading night by myself, carry Cait on my hip all around the school because she won't stay in a stroller, attempt to keep Cait quiet while the teachers are reading and fail, leave after 2 sessions because it was about bedtime and Momma really needed bedtime, sleep...
Friday - go to work early and place upward of 32-36 sealants and do 9 cleanings in 4 1/2 hours, go home around 2, take a short nap, Shawn brings Cait and heads out for another ballgame, take Delainey & Cait out to Delainey's piano lessons, come home and pick up Eli from my parent's house, go home, fix snack, referee children, go to bed at earliest possible time.
Today! - got to sleep in for an hour while Shawn went up front with the kids, made cinnamon rolls for breakfast, Shawn left for practice, started making Tres Leche cake, ate breakfast with the kids including some well-needed coffee for Mom, setting now in the basement while the kids play down here and realizing that a cat has peed on a blanket next to me.......and for the rest of the day - make lunch, Shawn will take the big kids to the library where he will be reading books on Abraham Lincoln for a bunch of kids, Cait will stay home with me where we hopefully will get a little nap, finish Tres Leche cake, go to the Hill's house tonight for dinner and some fun times, sleep.
The end. :)
Until next week....

Snow days...
This week brought 3 snow days to the kids! They were really excited BUT were happy to go back to school on Friday! Here are some pics from the day we went outside to play...
Other than that, there really hasn't been much going on. I was able to cook a lot while we had snow days - which I always enjoy. We have discovered that our driveway is a major pain when given several inches of sleet and several inches of snow on top. After my Dad, Shawn, myself, and a friend shoveled it on Thursday, we thought we would be in the clear. Not the case! As it is beginning to melt, we are having more problems with getting stuck! But, we are becoming good problemsolvers!
That is about it!
And after hot chocolate :)
