Arthritis Mom

I'm mentally preparing for this evenings activities. I'm lucky that my husband does not often travel on Thursday's, when he has to and especially during little league season, it's crazy! I have already gotten one child successfully off to school, fed the babies twice (4 bottles plus table food), changed 5 diapers, started laundry and showered. So I am off to a good start. If the swelling goes down in my foot I will be ready, if not I might be doing this all in slippers. Below is what the evening will look like. Can you imagine if I had to hold down a job too?

3:30pm Stepsons arrive home (my daughter is going to a friends house after school and will get a ride to baseball game later)

4:30-4:45pm Load up car with everything everyone needs including sports equipment, musical instrument, music bag, school bags, diaper bag and bag of toys and blankets, plus two babies
