Kate got a VERY cool award -- she just brought home a certificate for getting a 4 on the SAGE Math test!!!! There were apparently not a lot of students who get that. Yay Kateus!!!!!!! via Facebook

Today was SUCH a Monday. Which is extra unfortunate since it was actually Tuesday. I wanted some extra sleep, but got the girls up and off to school. The friend drama inherent with Jr. High seems to have calmed again (yay), but then Kate texted to say she'd forgotten to bring her yearbook and it was yearbook signing day. So I got the other girls off then got dressed (in REAL clothes!) to take that to her. I got home and had a call from Lizzie saying her sandal had broken. So I found another pair of shoes for her and took those to the elementary school. In my "What a Monday" mentaily I drove out to WalMart to buy some more popcorn. In the middle of the store my phone reminded me it's actually TUESDAY and I was supposed to be visiting someone in 10 minutes. I was only 5 minutes late. Then I got home and finally called my urologist to see about a urinalysis. They got me in today...and sure enough, I have an infection. No antibiotics until they get the culture back on Thursday. From where the pain is and previous experience it seems to be up pretty high more like a kidney infection than a polite little bladder infection. So I stopped at the bakery and got a small cinnamon pull-apart on my way home. Because sheesh, what a "Monday"! via Facebook

Delightful day doing an engagement shoot. Frustrating day starting with 1 child vomiting and a sickish hubby and ending in 2 vomiting children, 1 nauseous child, and 1 nauseous hubby. Exhausting day all around. Time for bed! No, it's not quite 6pm yet, but I'm calling it. via Facebook

It must be Monday! I got a call just after the two young'ns got to school from one saying she forgot her lunch. I was just thinking through excuses for her to have school lunch so I wouldn't have to go out when the other called to say she'd forgotten something for a special activity today. Fine. Girls win! via Facebook
