Sometimes I feel like I accomplish more before 8am than most people do all day. I guess that happens when the day starts at 5:15. When I get up, I usually grab a cup of coffee and go downstairs to the Echo room and study for about a half hour. Then I take a shower and start the rest of the day.

The physical things like laundry and cleaning sometimes takes a back seat to kids attitudes and behaviors. Today for example, Brittney was yelling so loudly as they drove off to school that I could hear her even with all Steve's windows closed. Zeke was in fine form this morning, too. He had Special Olympics swimming practice last night and didn't get home until 7:30pm. By the time he had supper and got ready for bed, it was way past his usual bedtime. The result is that he's extremely uncooperative this morning. I'm sure the neighbors heard his screaming all the way down the block! He was tipping chairs over in the dining room and refusing to put on any clothes. We finally just dressed him and left him on the floor while I helped everyone else.

So far, Steve, Brittney, Riley and Sophia are gone. I just have Taylor, Zeke and Anthony left to deliver to Medary Elementary before I head to work. Should be a fun day since the afternoon headstart kids are going to the Children's Museum today!

BTW: The home visit yesterday went fine. It lasted just over two hours and looks like there's no reason we won't be approved & relicensed.
