Tuesday morning I hit the alarm clock 3 times! When I was able to pull myself out of bed I noticed the time 7:45am. We are LATE! The girls have been begging to take the bus! Bus pick up 7:50am. Jocelyn starts in the afternoon so I only had to get Liliana ready. Hurry Hurry Hurry! I grabbed the first outfit that I could find that was clean and told her get dressed. I ran to the kitchen to make a PB & J sandwich for Liliana's lunch. Somewhere between grabbing the apple, carpi sun and "Mom I need Socks!" I put an ego in the toaster. I would of just sent her with money to buy a lunch BUT we had to prepay her lunch no later then May 14 (we missed the deadline so balance 0 packed lunch for the rest of the year 2wks.) Believe it or not my kids love the school lunch. I use school lunch as an incentive for them "clean your room and you can buy lunch tomorrow." And the whole bus ridding, an other incentive. I told Liliana she could take the bus.....Well she had to in this case. Jt had an appointment at 8am so he wasn't home which means he had the car. No car, missed the bus and No hubby to help tie shoes. My only option I had is to walk her to school which isn't just across the street. I looked up at the time 8:10 I could do this. I mean, I was making great time Liliana's dressed, lunch packed breakfast made and teeth brushed. As I'm putting the kids in the the wagon my mom calls I've been multitasking for the past 25mins what's one more thing. So I figure I have 25 mins to get her to school. Pulling a wagon with about 80 pounds in it, plenty of time. But I didn't take in account the hill I would have to walk UP and because I was speed walking and talking to my mom I began to feel the burn and I was huffing and puffing. Yes!...I'm out of shape! "Mom...I got to go a treacherous hill is before me and I'm on a deadline." I made it up the hill and I was hurting. The pain must of been written all over my face because a kind lady in a van still in her pink bathrobe was complied to asked me "Can I give you a ride somewhere" I replied back like I do this all the time "No, just taken the kids to school, Thank you" I didn't beat the tardy bell she was 15mins late. I made the walk home my cool down no rush and the wagon was 40 pounds lighter.
This morning I woke up at the first alarm, not in a rush, sore legs and with great determination to get in shape and beat that tardy bell. I conquered the hill and She arrived on time!!!
Parenthood never a dul moment, I felt like I was on the the Biggest Loser Ranch struggling up the hill but I'm not the biggest loser but the Biggest Winner with a great husband and 2 beautiful girls, Even tho I'm not the Octa Mom or Kate plus 8 my house is busy. I feel like my life is an Amazing race and I am a Survivor, I'm a Hero to my kids when I say yes to candy and to my hubby when I whip up dinner with no food in the house and a Villain to anyone who messes with them. My Life is my Reality Show and I've been casted in one of God's greatest masterpieces called "LIFE".
