Mothers Hours

I think a mother's hour should be twice as long as a non-mother's hour. Doesn't that sound fair? Our job is the hardest job in the world (Say's Oprah) and we don't even get paid for doing it!

We are gardeners, except we grow children instead of flowers. We are cooks, housekeepers and laundromats. We are personal organizers, chauffeurs and referees. We are teachers, healers and body guards. We do not work a 40 hour work week.  We do not get a half hour for lunch, sick days and vacation days. Our work week is more like 168 hours, our lunch breaks are when we grab something quick to eat and have to share it with 3 other people. Our sick days consist of us getting sick without any time off, getting our kids sick and having to take care of our sick kids while we are just starting to get over being sick ourselves. Vacation days? What the heck are those?

A mothers hour is never long enough to get the job done. At the end of the day, all the left over work just gets rolled over to the next day. If it could only be more like pre-paid phones, no roll over minutes, you just start from scratch when the month is done. I could live with that! I could also live with 90 minute mothers hours....either that, or maybe an extra set of arms.

 The kids all went to bed with stuffy noses, it is going to be a long night of whining and sniffling, hmmmm, ....I think I just changed my mind about the whole mothers hour idea. Sixty minutes with 3 sick kids sounds a lot better to me now, than ninety minutes with 3 sick kids. Though I do still think the extra set of arms would come in very handy tonight!

Poop is a four letter word

My 4yr old twins cannot control their silly minds, they giggle at the grossest things, they laugh at their every body function....natural and forced. My two year old copies whatever the twins do, so between the 3 of them, its gigglefest and grossfest all day long.

They have also learned a few new words to go along with these gross thaughts and actions.
1. Boofer Butt
2. Boofenator (my daughter has even made up a song about this one)
3. Butt Head
4 .Bummer Face
5. Poop Head
6. Stinker Butt
7. Pooper Sniffer
8. Fart
9. Fart Buster
10. crap
Just to name a few..

I do not condone these words, especially when they are said in a very loud voice in the checkout line at Target. I try my best not to laugh at some of the crazy/disgusting things that they come out with, but sometimes its hard. The kids are cute and innocent to look at, then they open up their mouths and these ugly words pop out.

I guess there are alot worse things that they could be saying. It is better to have them laughing about gross things other than crying about anything. But honestly, I doin't know where they hear this kind of talk!

Enough of this gross talk, I have to get off my lazy butt and get some crap done, before I am too pooped to do anything. :)

Don't you hate it when...

 Don't you hate it when you write out a whole post and just when you are close to the end...it deletes itself??????

The Best Diet Ever

I have created a link down on the right to this great diet. It is called The Diet Solution, this is the only diet that I have been able to follow and actually lose weight! 20 pounds so far!!

 It is all about eating whole foods and drinking alot of water. I feel so good when I eat like this, I have more energy and my husband says I am alot nicer of a person. Who knew? Eat better, lose weight, become a nicer person (and a thinner person)

If you want to check this diet out, just click on the link below and see for yourself!

What do you get...

What do you get when you are alone with 5 kids at a playground and one has to pee really bad? 
A big puddle at the bottom of the slide.
A kid walking really funny on the way to the car.
And a wet ride home.

Thanks to my sister who dealt with the situation very gracefully.

A day without naps

You know those days that seem to last forever? I swear, every time I looked at the clock today, it was three o'clock! The kids did not have naps, which could have been the reason for the long, never ending day, or the fact that I watched my sisters 4 year old twins for a few hours. A few hours with four 4 year olds and a 2 year old will make any day seem like forever. It was kind of like watching TNA wrestling, Super Nanny(before she shows up at the house), and Bloopers all at once. All I wanted to do was change the channel, but couldn't find the stinking remote!

My butt must have some kind of beeper on it, as soon as it hits the chair, a buzzer goes off, it causes all the kids to scream and cry at once. My voice seems to be on mute, I cannot find out how to unmute it and turn the volume up.  My mind is stuck on replay, or it might just be that my kids keep saying and doing the same annoying things over and over and over and over...see? Where is that damn remote?

The one good thing about not having naps, is the early bedtime! Hopefully the kids will be in bed early and I can finally sit down without any buzzing sounds and watch my reality TV. Oh crap, I've got to go find that friggen remote!

Ghosts, rocks and animals...OH MY!

Been busy ghost hunting, rock collecting and saving wild animals. Going to the beach tomorrow with Mom, Sis, friends and 12 kids.  Twelve kids equal...12 buckets...thats alot of rocks! Hopefully there are no baby animals at the beach to follow me home.   L
