Amy left town early Monday morning leaving the kids and me to fend for ourselves until her return Saturday…and we are having a great week! Jeremiah lost his first tooth on Monday at lunch, even though he promised his mom he wouldn’t lose it until she got back. Here is the picture for Mommy.

The kids go to sleep without argument every night at 9 and they need every last minute of sleep they get. At 5:30 each morning I go in and wake them up then get in the shower. On Monday and Tuesday mornings I exited the shower a few minutes later only to discover lifeless bodies spread across the house…but not this morning. As soon as I shut the water off I could hear the kids knocking on the bathroom door; by the time I was dressed and opened the door they were both ready to go, jackets and back packs in tote. They didn’t want to be late to Primetime, the YMCA before and after school program.

This is our dry run for when Mommy gets mobilized…as much as we don’t look forward to that day, we are prepared!
