I can't tell you the sense of relief I felt tonight after the kids went to bed and I picked up the house for the final time today.
I can't tell you how frustrated I was today that every time I picked something up, something else was taken down or apart or across the room JUST FOR THE SAKE OF MOVING IT.
I can't tell you how annoying it is to be picking up all day and feeling like a tornado going behind you all day wrecking my work. My hard work.
Don't pick up all day you say?
Y'a right.
That would be the day someone pops by for an unexpected visit and the cereal is still on the wall from this morning after Peyton decided he no longer likes Shreddies.
I am frustrated and tired. I am wondering why oh why do I seriously want more babies? Why would I prolong this stage in life? Why????? Why??????? Why????
Don't answer that. Whatever you say won't help. It will make me hang my head in shame, or cry.
Whatever.
I'm done for the day.
Sad to say that it is only 630pm and I want to hide under my covers for the night.
Yes I said 630pm....Yes I said they are all in bed...Yes all 3 of them.
O.K so maybe something went well today ;)

((HUGS)) you are not alone sista! Not at all.
I put my kids to bed early too. Let's hope they aren't up at 5 a.m.!
Your hard work will pay off. I promise. Your kids will learn the benefit of a tidy home- always ready to welcome people. :)
Is it wrong that I let 2 people go ahead of me in line at Costco last night just so the kids would definitely be in bed by the time I got home?
Oh Alyson...I so know that feeling!!! But the good thing of having more babies that your 3 'babies' now will be older and be able to help with some of the mundane things! (-:
...and for the 'momofthecrazies'...I'm so glad that I'm not the only one whose done that....and then to still sometimes come home and they are not in bed or sleeping after all...Grrr then you feel really ripped because you still have to 'deal' with it and you're late to top it all off!!
Chin up..isn't comforting to know that we all struggle with the same things...and that we are NORMAL?!
Take care Alyson!
P.S.
I have to run downstairs I hear kids dumping buckets..then again when you hear them that's better then when it's quiet.....
Just yesterday I was thinking how much saner it is now that my youngest is 2.5. It is an absolute joy not to have to watch him every blessed second.
So, I hear you.
If only you could still wear him eh?
Yeah I seem to have a lot of those kinds of days lately....no matter what I do, the house still looks like a tornado went through it! and I only have 1 little one, although the big one makes just as many messes....ugh!! Just know you are not ALONE!!
I'm sure your mom, like me, is smiling and thinking, we're geting even
Dad
This is totally cheesy, but, some day, you'll be looking at your perfectly clean, tidy house, and you'll think. . . something is missing. . .
