This Blog has been posted late by The best sister ever Sister#2 and Brother in-law#2 had headed off to Camp-That Thing 2013 in June with the youth group at their church.
This is my week with the kids My name is Katie... Here's a little Background on me... I am the Banquet Lead/waitress/bartender at a bar/grill/banquet hall in Wisconsin. I lived with Sister#2, Brother in-law#2 and The C’s for a while back in 2011 (maybe you remember me talking about being a house elf ) I moved back to live in my (well and sister #2’s) Hometown in the house I mostly grew up in with my Mom and Dad. yea that's right I'm 27 and I live with my mommy and daddy who do my laundry and cook me dinner. But really they won’t let me pay rent why would I leave. Would you??? Anyway enough about that nonsense this has been my week.
Friday- I worked from Noon until Two AM.
Saturday- I got up at 8:30 packed had coffee and made a 400 some mile trip south to This fine city where my Lovely sister, Brother in Law and 5 Foster Kids live.
Sunday- They leave for That Thing 2013 I then spent the day with the Kids. From we played outsider had lunch took naps played watched veggie-tales had dinner with Friends for the church played outside again took baths and went to bed.
Monday- we got dressed had breakfast went to daycare. I picked everyone up at 5 and we had dinner played read book and went to bed. After fighting we all fell asleep.
Tuesday- Much the same as Monday But we took baths again.
Wednesday- It started out the same as any other day but right at bedtime we had a bad storm roll in and at 7:45 (we go to be at 8) we were headed to the basement for 30 minutes... we hid. At 8:15ish I took the two youngest to bed and left the three oldest with family downstairs. Everyone finally went to bed about 8:45. Needless to say Thursday was LONG.
Thursday- we were all over tired but went much like Tuesday.
Friday-So far its been good the same. I’ll take uneventful. I’m OK with it. So with the kid daycare all day long I did have time to see my friends watch some TV and eat out A LOT. once again I’m OK with it. They come home tonight … I’m so sleeping in tomorrow. (Well I hope anyway)
The whole point to me hijacking this blog is that I wanted to say that my sister has 5 kids. 5 KIDS. I don’t know how they do this. Even with 2 people here all the time (which there is not mind you) I feel like all I have done is count head. I,2,3,4,5. 5,4,3,2,1. There are all here. Outside or inside its easy to lose kids. Don’t misunderstand not really lose they I took all 5 to daycare this morning. But lets be straight up and for serious about this. When was the last time you went from being up all night watching TV or drinking or working or whatever it is you do when you stay up all night to having 5 kids. Not that They stayed up all night or anything … I think I got sidetracked here so I’ll just say this. I am very proud of my Sister and Brother in law for what they do with these kids. I feel very blessed to have them (all 7 of them) in my family now and forever no matter what happens. I love them all. Its hard to have 5 kids and I think They are doing a pretty good job if I do say so myself.
I found this quote today I don’t know said it first but I liked it a lot... Disappointment is just God's way of saying "I've got something better ... Be patient, live life, have faith”
