1. I need to know what to do at 4:25 and the two oldest boys are wrestling near the staircase.
2. I need to know how to cook the London broil Connor's class so generously sent him home with.
3. I need to know how to cut the catalope just the way mom does it.
4. What do you do when it is 7:15 and the baby still won't stop crying?
5. What do you do at 9:00 and all the kids have eaten are popsicles and ice cream bars because they aren't hungry yet?
6. Most importantly, what can you possibly do or say to make things better when their little brother has to stay at the hospital again and we don't know how soon he and Mom are coming home?
Caleb spiked a fever today while at the hospital for chemo. He and his mom will be at the hospital for a least a day or two. Please keep up the prayers for Caleb. Please also pray for the rest of the family as they cope with this cancer in their own unique ways.
Oh and by the way....I did figure out what to do in all the above situations (except #6, that is a tough one). Don't worry, no one was seriously injured in any fighting today :) During the school day I actually went for a beautiful run with the baby and practiced yoga on the deck while the baby slept. All things considered, a pretty good day pretending to be a mom. Although I am not ready to have an army of my own, just yet, someday....I could do this :) For the moment, a week at a time is good for me!

Katie, you are amazing! I'm so glad you are blogging from the east coast. I'm so glad I checked your blog - I wasn't sure if you'd get a chance while over there. That group of boys sounds awesome. I have this secret desire for at least three boys someday:). I bet you are the best "mom for a week" that they could ever ask for! We're praying for Caleb! Love you & miss you!
Katie, good job on Weds.....hope today went a little better...you are a real trooper! Tomorrow will be TGIF.....but I bet a little sad for you....and of course for the boys. Much lve, Aunt Judy
Katie, so funny. I am sure that hindsight will be much funnier, post exhaustion. I am excited to talk to you when you get better reception
