CVBS Busy

June 20, 2012 by Minnesota Mom Filed Under: Family Fun, Keeping It Real, Minnesota Me, Spiritual Growth 7 Comments

Yesterday included—but was not limited to—getting all six kids! up and out of the house before 8:00.

CVBS I

Same for Monday.

Same for today.

Same for (Is this even necessary to say?) tomorrow.

CVBS II

Need I say more? No, I really don’t.

Need I more sleep? Yes, I do do do.

Ed. Note: “CVBS” stands for Catholic Vacation Bible School. This is the 7th or 8th year that we’ve done it, I think, and it is always worth it.

    We just finished our CVBS last week and yay!! We survived, although, I needed a nap by Wednesday for sure!!

    Getting all 6 kiddos out the door and have pumped my milk and fed them all was no small task, I am woman, hear me roar!!!

    Things were NOT going smoothly today for getting any of our family out the door and to CVBS, classes, jobs, etc., but we made it! Thanks for your kind word & hug. It truly helps to look around and know that every mom there knows the struggle.

    Getting all my kids out the door at any time of day is a hassle but those "before 8 am days?" oh my! I will pray for you the next two mornings Margaret. You are a trooper!-trish

    Every time I have to do something like this I find myself repeatedly murmuring…this is why we homeschool….this is why we homeschool.

    Not really, of course, but in the moment it sure makes me appreciate our flexible schedule that much more!

Hi there!

I’m Margaret in Minnesota, and this is my mom's-eye perspective of a kid-heavy life. I love the Lord; I take lots of photos; and I always try to tell it like it is, from sex to depression and everything in between! I hope you enjoy your time here. ♥
