It’s time to leave to take the girls to hip-hop class. I go out front and find that the kiddie pool the kids were playing in earlier is blocking the path of the van. I frantically work at bailing out all the water with a bucket till it’s light enough for me to pick up and dump out the rest of the water. I pick it up dumping all the water out, walk backwards, run into something and then SPLASH! I fall into the other kiddie pool that was a bit further up on the driveway. I had to run upstairs to change and then drive them to class. We just made it on time.
My chaotic life raising six kids
