a friend took Abbey to her 2pm pottery class while I drove the other kids home.\u00c2\u00a0 Put Lainey down for a nap, and about 30 minutes later, it was 3:30&#8230;time to pick Abbey and her friend back up.\u00c2\u00a0 (Randy was home, so Lainey could snooze away)\u00c2\u00a0 Dropped Hannah off at her house, drove home, and then ran around trying to get ready for Abbey&#8217;s softball game (i.e. pull together the uniform, softball bag, water jug, food for the other kids, etc.).\u00c2\u00a0 A few blinks later, I was driving again&#8230;Marley had gymnastics at 6pm.\u00c2\u00a0 Dropped her off, took Lainey to the consignment store, then picked M back up.\u00c2\u00a0 Stopped by Wendy&#8217;s for the girl&#8217;s dinner, and headed to Abbey&#8217;s game that started at 7:30.\u00c2\u00a0 Abbey did really well for her very first time in a softball game&#8230;she fouled the ball off once, and ended up scoring a run on a dropped 3rd strike.\u00c2\u00a0 She played center field and stopped everything that came her way.\u00c2\u00a0 We&#8217;re proud of her for trying this brand new sport.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"vertical-align:
