Parenting......

I love, love, LOVE, being a mom. My children are truly a great blessing to me. But I tell you days like today I would not mind being a beach bum with no one but myself to worry about. (And for those reading this, if you feel this way once in awhile...its not bad parenting, it's real parenting!)

It started this morning with "C" and "E" at each others throat, those two are like two peas in a pod. "D" is constantly yelling..MOM, MOM, MOM where is that where is this, can you do this. And "F" is on his fourth night of no sleep, teething, and having his first cold...and yes I have a green streak on my shoulder from his nose. I definitely would not come even close to qualifying for a beauty contest since this is also my fourth night of little sleep...those little rubber bands that hold back your hair were great little inventions!

And yes Pa...I know I need to appreciate every moment because time goes too fast, I just have to look at my ten year old to know this...But I really could use a vacation today.....Like Hawaii?!?

Anyway just had to share part of my day with every one....maybe I'll go take a nap now.
