The day is over!

Well, I made it! The kids made it--but not in bed yet. I went to the Mother's day tea. It was great! I first picked Rachel up at school early, then headed over to the school. Rachel helped out the resource teacher while I was at the tea. When school was out, I took them to the book fair in the library. Which of course caused a mini-meltdown. Jacob thought he needed a 3-pack of Indiana Jones Books. Not even the new book. So I drive them home to get the dog ready to go. Major meltdown in the van--kicking seats and windows. He was thirsty and needed something to drink NOW. And of course it had to be cold. I didn't get him anything until home. Then we loaded everyone back up in the van after being home for 10 min. Jacob dressed for baseball and Rachel ready for 4-H. We picked up Sarah from track and headed out to the Island. Dropped Rachel off and went to Jacob's game. Dropped him off---yes by himself and took Sarah home. Then back to the game. 30 min later---leave Jacob and go back to the Island to pick Rachel up. Back to the game for another 30 min and then home. Sarah decided not to go to Youth Group. We got home about 7:30p and time for dinner---which consisted of Organic poptarts from Costco and Costco cake from David's birthday last Sunday.
The game--I glad I didn't miss Jacob hitting the ball--if he actually hits it. The first game he did great--hits way out there. Then---all other times--he can't hit it at all. Today--he would swing too early. Then, after some coaching from one of the dads--he swings--hard and there it went!! Flying through the air towards the "coach--pitcher". Not the ball-----the BAT!!!! Luckily no one was injured. I wish I had my video camera! The next hit---he hit it again very hard and it almost made it to the fence--left side, but was a foul.
The day is finally over. Only 2 more kids to get to bed. Oh yeh--I sold a bunk bed on Craigslist today and made $320.
