After the day I had yesterday, today was pretty relaxing. I returned two little boys that I had been watching since 5:30am yesterday to their mother. They about drove me nuts!! I have 4 kids of my own and can handle just about anything. But one of the kids did not behave himself from the time he got here until I dropped him off today. He kicked and hit and scratched. To top it off, he cursed and yelled all the time. So needless to say, I was glad when their mom got home to take them.
So for the rest of my day I got rid of my kids. Two went to school and two went to a playgroup. I went shopping!! It doesn't happen often but it was a well deserved trip. I bought a new dining room table. The counter high ones that are square and seat 8. When you have 4 kids, it just makes sense. How I came to decide to buy the table, ummm... I saw it! I knew I wanted that exact table but had been waiting. It was on sale! So I guess in a way it was an impulse buy. Not really sure when buying tables became an impulse buy but... it was today :)
Then I came home and cleaned. Amazingly after the amount of stress from the previous day, this was very relaxing. I didn't just clean though, I really just rearranged stuff. I made my youngest daughters room into a playroom for her and her younger brother. And I put a childproof gate at the door. With stairs in the house and a 14 month old, those gates come in handy! A good place to buy all sorts of babyproofing stuff is www.onestepahead.com. It may be cheaper somewhere else, but you can get some great ideas there!
Now it is quiet time. The baby is asleep and the other 3 are watching a movie until bedtime (7:30pm)
I have to say, my day started out a little stressful with the two boys still here but all in all, I have had a pretty terrific day!
