After a very rough first two days home with Amelie, this morning went GREAT! She was generally cheerful and not quite as needy. I woke up early (for me) and did my whole Bible Study while Isaac got the girls breakfast. Then I got Elizabeth ready for school and made her lunch, and read the paper while Isaac brought her to school. When he got back home with Amelie, the house was tidy and I was ready to face the day!
Amelie and I played for a while, and then I put her the baby backpack and swept and mopped the whole house! After assorted other chores, we picked up a new wastebasket at WalMart (ours stunk so badly that I could not face cleaning it out!) and came back for lunch. Lunch is easy because I make Amelie's at the same time I make Elizabeth's!
I'm the back-up baby-sitter for Elizabeth's friend Isabelle (who is also five but has half-day kindergarten) and her 2-year-old brother. I have them today, and they're being their usual angel selves. It actually makes my day easier to have the extra kids! They'll come with me to pick Elizabeth up at kindergarten.
Right now, Amelie and Luke are napping, Isabelle is playing happily with Elizabeth's toys, and I have free time! Please, God, can it be like this every day?
