I'm sorry, but since I am blogging our family life, I have to take a sec and record a day like today....just so one day, I'll look back and remember it all. Today feels like it's already been twenty hours long! The whining, screaming, fighting, and destruction haven't stopped since I woke up. I tried to practice with my new tri-pod on Ellie, and she was not cooperating, and on top of that, the boys kept sticking their heads in every picture! Ellie still screams more than she talks and I am at my wits end as to how to get her stop...that, and she is soo messy! I'm not just exagerating, the girl can make a mess like you've never seen. I sometimes dread lunch time, because there is literally nothing I can make her that doesn't end up all over her, and the kitchen. The boys always want to play the Wii, and I try really hard to make them wait until after lunch, (I've only given in a few times) but I have to admit that I love Wii time. (insert guilt here.) It's the only time I get a thought to myself, well, when they aren't fighting about who is 'player one' anyway. I'd love to get out, but it's so stinking hot outside. I'd love to go somewhere, but the indoor playground at the mall is getting a little old, plus Ellie needs to nap or her screaming gets even worse! I'd love to sleep, but then I feel like I'm wasting my free time. I'd love to organize something, but I'm too tired.
Okay. My whine is done. I know this is only a short period of my life...and all the hard work I put in now with my kids will pay off one day. I don't regret any of this...and I would not change my situation for the world; but honestly, it is a lot harder than I ever thought it would be!

Amen, sista'. Today just must be one of those days. Did every child on earth get handed the screaming/whining pill today? Oh sheesh, I'm so sorry you've been pulling your hair out, too. At least you can know that you have a friend far away who has new bald spots today with you :) Sending sympathy hugs!
I feel your pain :D. And I know I said the exact same thing that you have. But honestly...I would take a day like that back again in a heart beat. I know it sounds like how could I ever want a day like that back again. I miss my children when they were little. It's true what they say. They grow up WAY to fast and I would love to have them right here with me again!!
You know that Trace Adkins song..You're gonna miss this!... well maybe not the fighting or screaming! You need a Mom's day-out!
It's the crying truth woman. I would never have dreamed that parenthood could suck the life right out of your body with such vigor. I suppose that the incredible sweetness of the good times is what keeps us peddling up the impossible hill.
My favorite part of reading this post was having to stop halfway through to get Melanie's scheming fist out of the peanut butter jar. *sigh* At least we're in this together, right?
K. I love this post. really! THIS is life. :)
I'm with you there. Some days I can take on the world, but other days it is pulling teeth to get things done, have the kids get along, and feel like I am still sane!
