Love my crazy days!
I love my crazy days, especially when they are over!
I started my day off paying bills. I had done most of the accounting last night but I had one more that had to be done this morning. As I log in I noticed that my bill is way more than it should be. I look into it and come to find out 2 months ago I had an extra charge and I just kinda bypassed it until now not noticing the difference. Way to feel like a failure right in the morning. I ROCK!
Ok grabbing the kiddos up and lets get school going. My kindergartener rocks her reading and math while my middle schooler drags everything out as long as possible. Mom can you help me? With what, your writing definitions? I look over at my kindergartener and she has busy spilling a whole bottle of mom's only lemonade (crystal light) all over the floor next to bag. Why was that hidden over there... sheesh. Ok clean up and finish up. Back to helping my reluctant studier. Oh whats that tinys snuck out and are eating all the snacks out of the pantry? Why I guess it's time for lunch hu?
Alright, daddy's home! Time to relax a bit - oh wait he's headphoning/gamming to relax after a hard day. As I turn around and see a bare butt out of my classroom. Chase her down to find out someone has hidden ice cream salt in the bedroom and filled cups with it and water. Clean up crew in isle 2 please!
Mom, my friend will be here anytime to take me to lunch? Where is she? Call please, please, please? Ok calling...oh didn't your hubby tell you, car problems we're doing dinner instead. Ok. Door bell rings, dogs go off. See ya honey. She may be my biggest helper but one less child and the house quiets down a lot!
Then hey mom, why won't this dvd play? Because you rubbed it across the floor! Honey, why is the front door wide open? and where is the toddler? oh my. Ring ring, hey can you teach Sunday school this week? Oh crud, I can't log into the program. Ok, got that but I don't have Microsoft windows. Ug, I need a coffee, oh wait that's not coffee I poured into my creamer, that's water for the tea we had this morning. Mom, don't forget to go shopping for the triple birthday party tomorrow. . . mom, mom, mom!
Is it Monday yet?
You know but the blessing is, we don't remember all that. We remember the fun and the love we share. Like how my oldest helped vacuum and mop last night because she wants to earn enough to pay her own library fines. How we did the shake and make your own ice cream and each kid got their own bag and loved it! How blessed we are to HAVE snacks and be ABLE to throw a birthday party. My kids are happy, healthy, loving, kind, and smart as a whip. What can I say, life is good!
