Today


Oh My, today is one of those days.

My house is a MESS! The kids have dumped out toys everywhere. Toys on the floor of every room in the house. Now they are playing tea party with water. Sounds fun, right. Sounds like everything is going to be wet in 10 min. flat.

I didn't do the little girls hair today. Let me remind you that is never good. It makes me look like a bad mother. At least they are dressed, their clothes match. Avary is even wearing her sunday shoes. And hazel is wearing tennis shoes that are too small for her. Why they like to cram their feet in and insist with a rather angry voice that they still fit is beyond me.

I am all about comfort. If my pants are too tight I wear bigger ones. If my feet hurt I take my shoes off. Kind of like now, I am still in my pajamas. I should be cleaning and going to the store, but I just can't bring myself to do it today. I forced myself to go and get milk yesterday.

It is dollar day at Jeepers and my sister wants us to take all of the kids. I hate that place. The kids run crazy so they are sweaty and smelly, Someone is always stuck in the tubes, some one is always lost, someone always winds up getting motion sickness because they can't make them self get off the spinning rides. I need four eyes there and a bucket of sanitizer. When we leave I feel like we are taking a whole city of germs.

I am going purely out of guilt. I don't want my kids to be left out of all the FUN? And they haven't gone anywhere like that in a very long time.

But believe me, It is going to take all of my energy and probably my last piece of patience.
