"What did you do today?"

A conversation with my beloved went something like this just a few minutes ago.
 
Me: "Hey...um...when do you think you will be home tonight?"
 
J: "In around an hour or so.  How was your day?  What did you guys do?"
 
Me:  "I woke up, made two batches of homemade muffins, cleaned up, had prayer and taught a science lesson to the kids, did math, phonics, grammar, reading and spelling with Leah.  Worked with Melody on Math, spelling, reading, English, and writing.  Made lunch for the kids.  Cleaned up.  Did Math with Hali and graded her reading, spelling and English.  Rocked Teagan because she was fussy.  Read her three stories.  Vaccumed, swept, did a load of laundry.  Washed dishes.  Read to Teagan again.  Put her to sleep.  Exercised.   Took a shower, finally and then leaned up after the kids made cuneiform hieroglyphs out of clay.  I'm exhausted."
 
J: {Prolonged silence}  "I'll be home as soon as I can."
 
He's such a smart man!

In the days when I had 3 babies, I would wait by the door with my car keys...

It's been a while since those days, but believe me, if I homeschooled all 5 of mine they would return QUICKLY!!!
