Go!Go!Go!

Do you feel like you are always rushing around these days?

Sunday mornings are by far the worst. This sunday we actually left for church at 9(it starts at 9).

It was a MAD DASH to get the boys in bed monday night, in time for me and John to watch Heros. More popcorn and smoothies.We are becoming wild party animals around here. If I had my choice, my power would be stopping the clock, so I could FINALLY make it somewhere on time.

Tuesday evening was no exception, as we rushed to get ready for small group. While running around, John informed me that he felt like we were missing someone--apparently a 4th child??? Perhaps a little Maverick would be sweet(I'm sure it would be another boy) though most days it feels like we have an extra kid. Even though Ollie is sleeping like a champ, I am still recovering from all the sleep deprivation. Last time I went to the dermatologist, I asked for advice regarding the bags under my eyes.He said "I normally don't recommend this, but for you, I'd recommend a filler". Yikes. Sounds like a needle is involved. Is that considered plastic surgery?? I will have to get to the bottom of this. Maybe I will just work on my atrocious sleep habits instead.

And then there is the sprint to wednesday morning Bible study. This morning, we actually got ready with 10 minutes to spare. I leisurely clipped Ollie's nails(heaven forbid we be early), because it was going to be his first time in the nursery, and I did not want anyone to think he was neglected. Right on schedule, I backed out of the driveway, when I heard the rumbling of all rumblings exploding from Ollie's diaper. I just cannot win. I rushed him back into the house and thankfully, the diaper contained about 99.99% of the goo. With a little help from the tide-to go pen, we were back on the road in record time. Sadly, I was still a little late to Bible study. At least Ollie did great in the nursery!
Later that evening, I met up with some friends for coffee, and was actually 6 minutes early! It helped that Ollie was my only travelling companion. Ollie also had his 1st Starbucks today.
Ollie, hanging out with drinking buddy Lijah. They are only 2 days apart.

From the rum look on Ollie's face, it's obvious that his coffee was decaf

Random Trivia(Something I read today about a study dedicated entirely to list-makers):
"50% admitted to writing down tasks they have already done, then triumphantly crossing them off. That way, they have a more complete picture of everything they’ve done, plus another opportunity to cross something off. It’s sort of insane how much we love crossing things off, huh?"
