Another Day in the Life

Have you ever stopped and captured your day? I'm frequently amazed at what happens in one 24 hour period. Not that this second "Day in the Life" post will be terribly exciting, but it gives me a chance to capture a single day.

5:45 am Rise and shine

6:00 am Get Josh up

6:20 am Get Victoria up

6:45 am Start waking middle-schoolers, the little boys just get up by default.  Today the siding crew begins to show up.  There will be a big change today!

7:05 am High Schoolers out the door, boy it's STILL cold!

7:06 am Get middle-schoolers breakfast.  Start answering questions from the siders.  They need to know how our platform will come out away from the house.  Call to my project leader for clarification.  Talk more with the siders on where to put the "hangers" for the platform.

7:45 am Insulator shows up. Now we get work on the inside AND the outside.

8:00 am Middle-schoolers on the bus, everyone else ready to leave

Amazing What a day! Filled to the brim with meetings, appointments, messages and even some sports. I've begun to realize of late that if it weren't for the kids I have, there would be MANY things that I would not have the opportunity and privilege to experience.
