Since 3:00, when my job as a teacher ended and my tougher job as a mommy began, I have... Dropped kids off at my mom's for a short while. Ran home (3 miles thank goodness) to meet with John and a contractor about a flagstone patio at our new home. Back to my mom's house to get the kids (thank goodness again, my mom "Nana" gave me the wonderful present of at least bathing the 3 younger ones!). To Sonic to get the kid's and myself something to eat (hubby called and declared he fed himself, you feed the rest!). Home to eat, in chaos, noise and kids more concerned with swapping Sonic toys, than actually eating. Attempted to sit and read a book after dinner ( The Happiest Mom ...no joke!), barely through the Forward when bombarded by a tirade of questions about one thing or another. Screams heard from upstairs as Bailey declares Lorelei has peed her pants and his floor! (Darling hubby decides this one, he'll handle). Peace...quiet, for a mere moment, movin
Somedays I feel like I've done it all. To look at me, you might say "now that's an ordinary mom". Dig a little deeper and you'll find I've led a pretty interesting life, done some pretty extraordinary things, especially once I became a mother of four wonderful, extremely different children! Unique personalities and needs, all wonderful, trying and glorious at the same time!
