Is today Wednesday? You know, without even knowing the day I'd be able to tell just by the mood of people (okay, me, yes I'm talking about me but wait). Yesterday was my shopping day and I again was determined to get my website up and going. Yes, I signed up with a web host server, yes, I tried to upload, download (which ever way you want to look at it)my site, oops, sorry I mean our site to our new server, didn't happen (obviously). Mom Jr. started her blog, she's having a great time doing it. She loves to get comments and know that people are reading her blog. She said "Do you have comments on your blog?" "No", "Oh, I do, hee-hee".
Yeah, okay. I'm excited to see she's so interested in writing (just like her Mommy), it's funny she even sounds like me she said "I start to think about what I'm going to write about and then when I start it just comes out as I'm typing". Hmmm, I do believe that was almost my wording to my Mom about how I come up with what I write?! Is it just a coincidence or were her ears on when I was talking?
So this website thing is really bugging me, it really isn't as easy as I thought it would be. Any help?
Back to today, yes my little J and his EverReady Rabbit ways, you know he just keeps going and going. I can't even understand how he just doesn't get tired!? Not only that but I pick up one thing, turn around and clean somewhere else just to have the area I picked up first to be a disaster!! Finally, I just gave up!(See, I told you I could tell it was Wednesday).
Yes, I must confess I was grouchy to my Mom and Sister today, yes, I know completely wrong of me, especially because I only have the Best MOM in the world. Did I feel bad when they left? Totally!
The thing is, with my kids, there's a schedule, like I've said before, 12:00 I'm either serving lunch or getting ready to. Now, when Squiggly is here the schedule changes just slightly, because she also eats when they do. So picture this, I have the skillet on with enough tortillas on it to make two quesadillas per child, at the same time I am preparing Squiggly's sweet potatoes and cereal in a bowl and getting her bottle ready for later. I'm slicing cheese for Mom Jr. because she doesn't like cheese slices in wrappers and I'm unwrapping cheese for the boys who like it. I am also warming up some beans and rice from the night before for the kids to have with their quesadillas (the goal here is to feed them well, so that they won't be bugging in an hour). Okay, I get it all done, I manage to make 4 plates of food for my kids as well as Squiggly's bowl of food. At the very end I make myself a quesadilla and pour some salsa and chips with a diet soda.
And this is where the deep breath comes in, everyone is fed and relaxed, now they're watching T.V. quietly while Squiggly is in her excersaucer happy playing. I know I have maybe 30 minutes to just sit, eat, and watch mindless T.V.
I sit down in eye view of seeing all the kids in the front room, my food is in front of me. As I pick up a chip, my two older ones stand up and say "someone's at the door".
You know that noise you hear when a car slams on their brakes, well, that was exactly what I heard. I get up to get the door and I can hear my Sister saying "hello, it's Lala". I open the door, the kids get up, my Sister gets Squiggly out of her happy place at the time...And well, my lunch time was just lost.
Yes, I felt bad, I was cranky, but this was my one break.
Is it Wednesday?? Hmm, I kinda think so....
So lunch was over, Squiggly no longer is happy being where she was, time to move her. We play for a while, put her in the swing and she falls asleep, I hit the dishes. Daddy comes home, plays with Squiggly, takes Mom Jr. to dance. He gets back and puts in his very first entry in his blog.
I make dinner, run to the store for water for my husband to take to work for a retirement party. As I'm getting out of the car with J (of course, I'm telling you he is on a roll!!) this woman is walking out with her 2 kids. She has the "Mom-stressed" attitude. She tells them "you want to go live with your aunt, well let me tell you when I was little your aunt was very mean to me so if you want to go and live with her I'll gladly send you and maybe you'll come back as nicer children and I'll be saying yahoo!!" The two kids started pleading "No Mommy we don't want to go, don't make us we're sorry". Hmmm, wonder what they did or said? Is it Wednesday? He** yeah it is!!!
My whole reasoning in letting J go with me to pick up Mom Jr. was that I thought for sure he'd fall asleep, wrong, yes I was wrong....
Okay, so the day is done, tomorrow is a new day, with a new attitude.
Here's my wish for you, wake up with a smile on your face as you sit up and take a deep breath, look out the window and see the beautiful sun shining through and if you get up before the sun, enjoy the quietness of the early morning, as you look up and see the stars still shining with the moon so bright as they shine the way for you to start your day. Hey, we are just one day away from the weekend!!
Just a Mom feeling and hearing the mid week stress.....
