I have the perfect job. It's true! I work with a bunch of ass-kickin' women who are a ton of fun, I actually LIKE what I do, AND I get paid to be home ALL SUMMER! Yep...that's right folks...ALL SUMMER! Now...before I say what I am about to say, please understand that I LOVE being home in the Summer and doing all the totally awesome Summer activities that most working parents don't get to do with their kiddos...BUTT... But there always comes a time in the Summer when I realize and remember WHY it is that I am NOT a year-round stay-at-home mama. That reason is that I would be 100% Batshit CRAZY! Don't get me wrong...I love the three litte men in life and the lazy mornings and trips to the pool. But....crazy kids equal crazy mom! It's true! We are SUCH a sports family and now that T-ball and Softball and Baseball is over my kids suddenly have a lot more time on their hands AND a ton more energy! They never stop! I swear they have a secret bet going on who can use the most cups in one day (so I don't get bored and can keep busy doing dishes), who can change their clothes the most in one day (to keep me on my toes doing laundry of course), and who can drag out the most toys from the toy room to the front yard. Taking them to Wal-Mart is a task that I do NOT look forward to and to make matters worse I recently discovered that one actually failed to mention he wasn't wearing shoes until we were getting ready to get out of the car to go in the store! REALLY PEOPLE?! Thank God there are plenty of moments of comic relief though. Like yesterday...Isaiah had two toothbrushes out and ready to go with toothpaste on them. Thankfully they BOTH were actually his (he just got an extra one from the dentist). When I questioned him about this he explained to me that he was planning to brush BOTH sets of teeth at the same time (to save time of course) one was for the top set of teeth and one for the bottom! DUH....why didn't I think of that! lol...this child of mine...his outfit the past week has been shorts, no shirt, a straw hat, and SNOWBOOTS! This is how he rolls when he is playing with his brothers and the neighbor kids. I tried to convince him that the snowboots weren't the best choice but he wasn't hearing it!
Ahhh...kids....gotta love 'em. P.S. They are also the reason this Mama drinks wine! :)
