Tonight I feel as though I am truly worthy of the title 'super mom'! Let me attempt to give you a visual. As soon as dinner was over the nightly homework and bath routine commenced. Well, Emily has a concert tomorrow night. I promised I would help her figure out something simple that we could do with her hair that she could finish by herself before the concert tomorrow. You see, I have an exam tomorrow morning followed by 4 hours of lab time. I will not get home by the time they need to leave for the concert. I will have to meet the rest of the family at the auditorium...in my scrubs no less. SOOOO the girl wanted special hair and despite being an amazing father, Cory just doesn't have a clue how to do special hair...unless it happens to be messy hair day at school. So I'm putting tiny braids in Emilys hair AND helping Ethan with his spelling words. I had to get a little creative in order to do both, plus Ethan really really REALLY hates doing homework. I wrote the letters individually on post it notes and put them all on the window. I called out a word while braiding in the bathroom and Ethan had to run and find all the correct letters and come to the bathroom and put them on the door in the correct order(He did a fantastic job and didn't whine once!) I should also mention that I had Nataly working on her homework as well at this point and had Rylee in the bathtub...all at the same time. Once spelling words were complete, Ethan had to do his robust vocabulary words which we did while I showered another kid and finished them up while he was in the shower.
I truly feel as though I was wearing my super mom cape tonight.
Hopefully I will still have energy to study for tomorrows exam by the time they get into bed.
Hopefully Cory can handle getting Emily ready for the concert tomorrow and make dinner and make sure all faces are washed before heading out the door.
Lord willing we will make it through the next week and then I'll have 6 full weeks off from school.
