This is a typical Sunday evening. Let's see, do the laundry, pack the snacks for snacktime, load naptime blankets and sheets into the car and bathe the children. Then I need to wash and comb everyone's hair (except my husband's--he doesn't have any). I'm going to have to remember everything that can't be taken out of the refrigerator until morning. The way I do that is to hang an empty bag on the front door so that when I go to leave I wonder why it is there and go back for the stuff I need to take. I will need to decide what I'm wearing tomorrow and put a week's worth of clothes in the organizer for the children. My hubby and I will talk about the dinner plan for Monday and he will "take something out of the freezer."
I do all of this and what is my loving spouse doing...sleeping.
Word from the Wise: A man works from sun to sun but a woman's work is never done. Accept it and move on. I'm still trying and will probably nag my husband for help.

Road Trip For a High School Graduation
We've just returned from a good trip to Pittsburgh. The drive both ways was great. Weather and traffic were great and the kids were fine with their dvds. The drive to Pittsburgh is about 3 1/2 hours from our home so 2 dvds used up the entire drive time. Once we were in Pittsburgh we rushed into the home of a relative and changed into clean clothes to attend my niece's graduation. We attended the graduation and later went to dinner with the graduate and our extended family. At the dinner there was talk of college and money and all things after high school. My niece had done well in high school and dreamed of a film career after college. My husband and I encouraged her at every opportunity and hoped she would apply and attend college. We hosted a BBQ for her the next day and welcomed her into her independence.
Word from the Wise: Say what you want, our children will learn from what we do. My husband and I believe in education so we made the 3 1/2 hour drive with our little ones to reinforce the importance of education for our niece. I plan to "show up" for her at every graduation she has in my lifetime. Education is important.
