I was doing Olivia's hair so she could make it to the bus on time when she said, "I'd hate to be you today mom!" What kind of comment was that? She smiled and pointed to my floor that was covered with a half gallon of paint. Makayla was "cleaning" it up with all my wash cloths.
Ya, I didn't want to be me either!
I cleaned the best I could and decided I needed a break for breakfast. That is when I really decided I did not want to be me!
The night before my sisters came over and we separated 12 decks of cards and organized them into their correct order. I even added rubber bands and they were tight. Apparently not tight enough, Dallin had scattered them all out on my table with his messy oatmeal covered hands. Sticky Oatmeal + cards = An insane (hormonal I might add) Mom. I just screamed, which didn't really help I just got light headed and wanted to pass out.
I know that when you choose to have a large family that is as young and rambunctious as mine things happen. This was my choice. . . My choice. . . My choice. . . Anyway, I didn't want to be one of those Mom's you hear about on the news, so I called in some help. My friend happens to have a wet shop vac and well, let's just say I still have five beautiful children, an extra clean spot on my carpet, and some slightly sticky cards. Thank you Angie!!!
Just a fun note: later that night the kids were playing hide-and-go-seek. Makayla was hiding in the dryer and evidently couldn't hold it. . .So the only load of laundry that got done that day was undone, just like that!
