A day in the life!!!!

The alarm clock goes off in Jenni's room at 5am gets up and ready for seminary
Neil and Peggy's alarm goes off at 5:30am we toss and turn trying to bribe the other one to take his or her turn of driving Jenni to seminary. we take days. then we pick Jenni up at 6:45am and bring her home. on a good day the boys are up and getting ready for school and we eat breakfast. then we get in to the car again and drive the boys to school at 7:25 then come back home or if its Neil off to work he goes. then Peggy drives Jenni to school at 8ish she is still on the honor roll as a freshman go Jenni!!! then she goes to class and then at 3:15 she is either at the pool for water polo practice or swim practice (well at least until her infamous snowboarding accident) now she just stays for the swim meets and times for her team mates. Peggy picks up the boys from school when they call and beg for a ride home every day unless i can play mean mom and make them walk the 1/2 mile home.then we do homework read for 20 min and get ready for let me see its baseball now(we used to do basketball and baseball for 2 month overlap) Ricky and Andy were on the same basketball team fun to watch. they had 2 practices a week + games 2 times a week
now we have baseball with different teams and so we have 3-4 practices a week each and 1-2 games a week each some overlap some don't. so as for now i have a permanent place on the bleachers for both boys and Neil keeps score for whom ever team gets to him first thththhtht. games go from 4:oo-5:00 practice and then the game starts and goes 7 innings or 2 1/2 hrs or dark which ever comes 1st and if its dark we finish the game another night exsampe Andy had a 22 min game and his practice for an hr before. and the topper for mom is he wears white baseball pants!!!!mothers night mare
wash bleach repeat and repeat and repeat with a red shirt so u have to wash separately
look out all you new moms of kids upcoming sports ththth Jenni on the other hand is great when it comes to water polo she needs a towel a 75 dollar swim suit a 108 dollar parka to stay warm in January and 4 hrs a night in the pool5 days a week
but no washing for mom yahooooooooooo
oh ya i forgot you cant play sports on an empty stomach so we some how toss in a peanut butter sandwich and then they want to eat a big meal at 8:00pm Peggy's filling it weight wise (that is why no pictures of Peggy thththth)
then off to bed after a shower and family prayer. its 9:30pm and every one should be in bed but guess what someone forgot oh ya i have homework i need help with....
so its off to bed for dad and mom and its late and just as you feel peace you hear Jenni alarm its 5am time for seminary its your turn no its your is heard Thu the door of Neil and Peggy's bedroom
life is grand just think Jenni will be done with seminary in just over 3 yrs yahoooo but wait what is that your thinking? Do the math Ricky is 10 they start seminary as a freshman age 13-14 yep then Andy is 8 almost 9 i will be going to seminary until i am ????years old nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

i would love to see a day in the life of YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!
