Children are truly a blessing. I know this and I understand this.
But then there are days like today, where I would LOVE to rip all my hair out and scream and throw a tantrum like they can! I am still amazed that after three children I yet to have any gray hair! (Knock on wood)
This week has been really good. I have been able to keep the house decently clean, Been able to keep dishes at a minimum, Ive cooked an actual meal every night, kids have been bathed and ready for bed at a decent time, I have waken up early in the morning and I have even made sure hubby has a cooked breakfast almost every day this week. (Normally he doesnt because well if I can never get to bed before midnight then I am not waking up at 0415 to cook him breakfast. I love my husband BUT I need sleep :) haha)
Then today hits… We were doing good. Everyone slept until about 0630 and even then it was only the littlest minion who woke up. He was content snuggly up to mommy and daddy and going back to sleep for another 2 hours. (Which was amazing for me but horrible for Nick since Gabriel was apparently kicking him somewhere he shouldn’t be haha)
I ended up getting a shower, got everyone dressed and told Nick that he could sleep a bit more. I get downstairs and then all heck breaks loose. Tristan and Kaitlynn are fighting, Gabriel is following me around demanding his morning bottle this instant, the dogs are already wrestling and play fighting, and I just feel my patience packing a bag, throwing up the deuces and leaving…
It has been like this all day, the kids arguing and tattling on each other. Fighting about which movie they want in their room playing, screaming like wild banshees and stomping around like a herd of elephants.
Even now its 2114 at night and Kaitlynn (who’s room is above the front room which is my office) is playing in her room when she is supposed to be in bed. She refused to eat her dinner again and after two hours Nick told her to go to bed. Tristan is asleep in his room and I got Gabriel to sleep and then put him in his crib. I should be working on homework right now but Gabriel was crawling around in here and shut off my computer in the middle of my homework. So I lost all that ugh. Now I don’t feel like trying to remember my exact thoughts in order to finish my homework tonight.
Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.
I love them more than anything but sometimes I just wanna hide in my closet and eat a bunch of cookies ;)
I guess I am off to do homework and then off to get some earrings done so I can ship them out on Monday! Have a good night everyone. Hopefully I will post again here soon!
