Math Problem

Amber wakes up at 7:30am. Reese has to be at school at 9am. It takes her (amber) 1:15 minutes to get all the kids changed, dressed, fed, lunch made and ready to go out the door leaving her 10 minutes to get ready herself. Once the baby comes in May, how much time will she have to get herself ready??


Answer:
Amber needs a nanny :)





FYI- I went to a job interview the other day and they had a "test" that you had to take. For example: You need 40 salads prepped and you have already have 16 done. It takes you 5 minutes to do 10. How long will it take you to finish.
My answer: Who cares I will just get it done! So the math problem above came from my spoof of the test :)

  1. To save time you could try what some Moms refer to as "ready rolled"

    When everyone has to be out of the house dressed and ready early you wash up the kids before bed get them dressed in their clothes for the next day rather than in jammies. In the morning you roll em over and their ready!

    The other tip I have is to have as much ready for the morning before you go to bed-items for breakfast chosen and anything non perishable can be out and ready for eating,
    clothes picked out and accesible to kids you can dress themselves,
    bags packed and lunches made. When the kids are eating breakfast i will usually load everything in the car.

    Hope some of this might help :)

  2. Ha, ha! As I was wishing I could take a nap today because I don't feel well, but there was no way Sam would lay down, I came up with that same solution to my problem!

    Maybe we should all hire a nanny together and take turns?! =)

  3. You're going to job interviews???? What the hez-eck?? I think I'd rather have a maid... I should blog about my laundry room - out of control! My Ava is wearing her big sister's old hat. It used to be Stella's... love hand-me-downs, especially since they were both born in the same season.

Okay Dallas when you hit the ball you need to run to 1st base, 2nd base, and then home.....no mom! I don't want to go home!Reese was outside singing today while she was on the swing. And she says to me. "Mom, the sun is coming out because I am singing....I am wakin it up!" Keep singing girl, keep singing!Dallas: Look mom his doesn't have twin wheels! (translation:training wheels)Dallas: When I am a daddy....I want one of those baby Norahs.So sweet!Reese: Mom I like these things...What things? Reese: These Rat-tat-too-ies Do you mean Tattoos?Reese: Yah! TattoosDallas was holding Norah and this is what he said....Norah pooped. She pooped 3 times....Oooo....she pooped 10 times mom!!Reese was going to the bathroom and when she was done she looked (as all kids do) and said "oooo, look mom. I ate carrots!"Reese has been wanting her ears pierced. She spent that night at Ambers house and asked her if she could do it. Amber told her that it would hurt and after she did one ear she would have to do the second ear. She said "how bout you do the second ear first"We been telling the kids that Norah can't have anything to eat because she is to little. Dallas walks in the hospital and get up to look at Norah and says: "I want to see if she has a mouth"In the morning when the kids wake up they come and crawl in bed with us. I was laying on my side talking with Reese. She looked at me and said "Mom...your boobs are hugging" I just laughed. She then said "they love each other" The thoughts of a 5 ....and just in case you were wondering. I was wearing a tank top ;)Mom....when I am a mom I will have two kids and then we will have lots of kids at our house!!(And what do we have now...I am thinking)Dallas looked at my blog and the picture of the "barefoot and pregnant""mommy that's you!"Boy do I love that kid ;)My room is usually a mess. Of course I have all the "good" excuses as to why :) Well my surprise when I got home from work was a nice clean room with a made bed.When Reese came and got me this morning she said "Mom your room is Amazing!"

the things they say...

Reese: Hey mom look! She walks just fine and doesn't even need a cane! (we were at costco and she said this about an elderly lady...nice!)
