2-yr-old with a cold, driving me up a wall, time for a movie for mama's reprieve.
Kids turn eggs in the incubator and feed and water the garage-goat. Yes, there's a goat in the garage ready to kid.
Everyone takes their antibiotics since in a family of this size when 3 people get strep, the doctors just give it to everyone.
Get a phone call from a friend. Miss that girl.
Make oriental salad with the Napa cabbage I bought yesterday...while helping son with math...make the decision not to make dinner tonight, we'll have ramen or leftovers.
Do some work, take a couple of customer's calls, mostly facebook and reading blogs. :p
Bro-in-law comes to do a lock change for me, then takes home my 7-yr-old to help with their kids. I'm relieved as I have girl overload (crying, whining, fighting, screaming, etc) by this point and she's a good baby holder for my sister, I hope she helped.
At 5pm I motivate the kids to do math, I have not been on the ball so can't expect them to be esp when the sun is shining. They can have a gigantic marshmallow if they finish their math by 6pm...they do.
2-yr-old informs me that her poop in the potty is very black, "I promise, I'm serious." she says. Ok, then.
Big kids play rough, I send them outside, the neighbor boy comes over with his dog and 2 of my kids yell at him for it, they get into a fight (verbal) and neighbor boy goes home with dog. Then calls and invites over the child who was not yelling at him. He told me what happened on the phone and I sent 2 kids over to apologize and then straight home. They get to muck out the goat yard.
2-yr-old falls in mud, gets a bath, then goes back outside...naked.
I attempt to bribe the 5-yr-old to do a reading lesson with the gigantic marshmallow trick, we got through one and a half.
I pull out the skirt that I made and fix it again, it finally fits!
Get the second to last kid to finish his English. Today's assignment is copying and memorizing a Psalm or two amendments in the Bill of Rights. He has chosen Psalm 8, very short.
Visit the goat. My daughter discovered how to make her stand super still, by scratching her with a stubby stick...good for photos, I'll try adding some later.
I'm impressed by some of the messes in my house and at my ability to cope with them just fine if my head is in the right place. I'm much nicer when I can tolerate the messes.
Son uses choke chain to take his two little sisters as slaves...puts it on their wrists and puts them in the garage goat pen, with the goat. Give a lesson that that's not appropriate play.
Between the junk food and the sunny day, today was pretty good.
