My mom kept Kyla last night after she screamed for 15 minutes begging meme to come back and pick her up. She sobbed uncontrollably saying: "meme come back, meme why did you leave me, meme I need you, I don't want to be here, MEME!!!!!!!!" I about threw her out of the front door and said walk over there then! just kidding (kind of! ) Let me tell you, having 2 kids changes the entire dynamics of my household. If I could just switch off and have my mom keep one of them each week and have 2 kids 3 out of the 7 days a week, I would be a much happier person. It was so quiet and peaceful and organized. It seems with 3 lately, there is always one creating the mood to be hectic, chaotic, frustrated, and unorganized. I think they talk to each other in another room and choose who is going to cause the problems for the evening!!! Can you tell I'm stressed? I hope my kids don't read this someday and wonder which one I would get rid of! hahaha That would just cause a new fight between them.
I didn't think I would put stuff like this up, but it really sums up how I feel all of the time.
Obviously this isn't about me because I don't get to sit down with Robert and actually watch TV anymore! (o:
Mom and Dad were watching TV when Mom said, "I'm tired, and it's getting late. I think I'll go to bed"
She went to the kitchen to make sandwiches for the next day's lunches.
Rinsed out the popcorn bowls, took meat out of the freezer for supper the following evening, checked the cereal box levels, filled the sugar container, put spoons and bowls on the table and started the coffee pot for brewing the next morning.
She then put some wet clothes in the dryer, put a load of clothes into the washer, ironed a shirt and secured a loose button
She picked up the game pieces left on the table, put the phone back on the charger and put the telephone book into the drawer.
She watered the plants, emptied a wastebasket and hung up a towel to dry.
She yawned and stretched and headed for the bedroom. She stopped by the desk and wrote a note to the teacher, counted out some cash for the field trip, and pulled a text book out from hiding under the chair.
She signed a birthday card for a friend, addressed and stamped the envelope and wrote a quick note for the grocery store. She put both near her purse.
Mom then washed her face with 3 in 1 cleanser, put on her Night solution & age fighting moisturizer, brushed and flossed her teeth and filed her nails.
Dad called out, "I thought you were going to bed."
"I'm on my way," she said.
She put some water into the dog's dish and put the cat outside, then made sure the doors were locked and the patio light was on.
She looked in on each of the kids and turned out their bedside lamps and TV's, hung up a shirt, threw some dirty socks into the hamper, and had a brief conversation with the one up still doing homework.
In her own room, she set the alarm; laid out clothing for the next day, straightened up the shoe rack. She added three things to her 6 most important things to do list She said her prayers, and visualized the accomplishment of her goals.
About that time, Dad turned off the TV and announced to no one in particular. "I'm going to bed."
And he did...without another thought.
Anything extraordinary here? Wonder why women live longer...?
CAUSE WE ARE MADE FOR THE LONG HAUL..... (and we can't die sooner, we still have things to do!!!!)
