Made it- whew!

Well, the day went smoothly.  I got up around 6am to get a head start on everyone else.  That plan quickly fell through, because Nathan woke up as soon as I was getting in the shower.  Which woke both Jon Kent and Zoey up.  But I still managed to get showered and dressed before Nathan had a complete meltdown.  Jon Kent and myself had hair cuts today and I managed to get everyone ready for that.  Jon Kent and Zoey grabbed a ride with my mother-in-law (her appointment was for the same time, as we go to the same stylist) and Nathan and I were going to come later.  But she ended up calling from the salon and told me that they were behind schedule and to come at like 10:15am.  So she and Jon Kent got their hair cut and then came home and she kept all the kids for me while I went and got mine cut.  Once I got home we played outside for a little bit then came in and had lunch.  Then everyone, including me (BONUS) all got a nap in!  After everyone woke up we watched TV while I fed Nathan.  Before I got through though Kent came home from work.  So it wasn't a full day of having the kids all alone but it's a start.  And thankfully it went smoothly.  Nathan had a meltdown right about the time Kent got home from work  (good timing, huh? ;-)) but he soon settled down and has been swinging ever since.  Tonight we are going to my parents' for "family night".  I'm looking forward to it.  I look forward to anything to get me out of the house and to keep me distracted for a few hours.  So all in all the first day went well.  No major blow ups or meltdowns and I didn't lock myself in the bathroom.
