Productive?

So I finished my blog post this morning inspired to get some stuff done around here! Shorten that list! That's when I remembered Tyson had a dentist appt this morning. Since Jason was sleeping I needed to take all the boys. This was not a good start to my "productive" day. I got Tyson off to school (he enjoyed that pop tart by the way), came home, fed the other two, made myself halfway presentable, and headed out the door to pick Ty up and get him to the dentist. Rushed him back to school just in time for him to eat lunch, came home and got Dylan and Jack lunch. Visited with the hubby for about a minute, and crashed since I couldn't hardly keep my eyes open. Got up and started making dinner. Jason was playing w/ the older two outside (they built the cutest snowman) and I listened to Jack whine the entire time I tried to cook. Jason and the boys came inside and we decided I should take Jack into urgent care. Our ear thermometer was not registering a fever but he definitely had one and was pretty upset. So Jason finished dinner and off to the doctor we went.


This is where my day goes from "ugh" to "you have got to be kidding me". 


I wasn't thinking and got there at 5:15. They told me U.C. didn't open until six (duh Jenn!) and I wouldn't be able to come back inside until then. So I took Jack back to the van and turned on a DVD for him and waited. The parking lot started to get full and at about 5:45 a man got out of his car and walked right in the door. So then everyone else in the parking lot decided to go in as well and get in line. Jack and I finally get out and I am like sixth in line!!! What? I was there at 5:15. Ugh. It took forever. I was there until 7:00 and Jason was super late to work b/c I still needed to pick up his medicine at Hy-Vee. I should have been home, Iwas there first (picture me stomping my feet and saying "no fair!" b/c that is exactly how I felt)


So yeah, this day did not go as I planned.


BUT, are you ready for the silver lining? :)


I WAS productive. I did accomplish very important things. Tyson needed to have his tooth fixed and I am so grateful that we took Jack in. We found out he had a temp of 101.8, a double ear infection, and strep. I am so grateful for my husband for taking care of the kids while I had to be away, he made dinner and had it all cleaned up. And of course I am thankful for that nap!


My job is to take care of my kids, they are what is important. Not cleaning, baking, and wrapping presents. Thank you Lord for my day. You are so good to me.
