Portrait of Family, Fun
Let me set the mood by saying Blogger just crashed and lost my original post...So here's take two:
My body is weary, and my brain is fried. Maybe it's the nine hours I spent at the State fair yesterday, (or maybe it's all the mid-way junk food I ate!)Maybe it was one too many rollercoaster rides, or the fact that the October sun wore me out. (I'm so ready for Fall and the cool weather.)
Or could it be waking up early this morning, scrambling to get four kids dressed, fed and out the door to make our 9 am homeschool co-op where I had to teach 15 preschooler (thankfully with the help of three other adults).
But whatever the reason, I'm exhausted and just don't care about the school work or chores that haven't been done today. I did manage to slap some lunch meat between bread for my kids for lunch. Then I sent the little ones up to play PS2 and the older ones to finish their grammar. Then, guilt free, I vegged in front of the computer surfing, unable to piece together a coherent sentence. In a zombie like state, I remained ignoring the noise and growing chaos until screams erupting from upstairs snapped me out of my trance for the moment. After settling the PS2 arguement and managing to help my kids with vocabulary homework, I planted myself back in front of this screen and have remained here since.
Though I might be tempted to tear myself away from our friday pizza movie night. [sniffing the air] Smells like dad's home!

Sounds like you had my week. After days of not being home I took a nap, two days n a row, while my kids fought over the Game Cube and didn't get their work done. Yesterday was so bad that I couldn't even settle in for a good red, my brain was too fried.
Hang in there ladies. It has to get better from here. My hubby and I are going two different directions with sports events this weekend. Everything is scheduled for the same times and in two different towns. We will meet up on Sunday. LOL.
That sounds like kid chaos galore. I only have one child but man - he can be a serious handful.
I remember those days. I worked outside the home and then came home to try and get it all done. Thank God I had and still have a wonderful husband who carried his share plus.
Looking back I wish I had stayed home
