First day of school...

So, this is the first day alone with my 5 kids.

  I got everyone ready and out the door by 8:50. 

 I was thinking that I could be mother-of-the-year

 for accomplishing that feet alone.  

That's when it all hit the fan...

I'm sure I looked funny walking across the street with

 2 girls, a 3 yr old boy, and a double stroller.

  But that didn't stop me.

  We got to school on time along with everyone else. 

 I see one of my friends there and

 ask if she'll stand by my twins and Noah

 while I walk Abbie up to her line.

  She agrees and I get back a minute later and 

Noah is GONE!! 

 I ask her where Noah is

 and she says that she looked up for a minute

 and he was gone.  

We look everywhere and can't find him.  

He's not on any playground,

 he's not in the front,

 and not the back.  

I look over at the kindergarten area 

thinking that maybe he thought

 I was going over there to take

 Abbie and don't see him.

  I'm having a panic attack.

  I go back to where I last saw him 

when I hear my friend say that she found him.

  He WAS over at the kindergarten area

 on the playground crying because he can't find me.  

WHAT A RELIEF!!!

Then I take Noah to his friends house 

so I can go to the G.I. Doctor for my twins.  

I don't get back until 12:30, 

feed my twins, 

feed myself 

and want to lay down to read to wind down.  

I fall asleep while reading

at 2:30 and don't wake up until 3:25!!  

It was one of those DEEP sleeps 

where I woke up and couldn't tell you my name

 let alone how many kids I had and where they were.  

I realize where Ellie and Abbie are,

 look at the clock and realize I am WAY late.

  School gets out at 3:22.  

I freak out and realize 

that there is no way I can get down 

to get Ellie and Abbie on time.  

So I call my friend who found Noah,

 watched Noah,

 and I now am asking to pick up my girls

 while she is down picking up her son.  

SHE SAVED MY DAY!!!   

I need a nanny.
