It's Father's Day! I am grateful to have two of the best Daddy's in the world in my Life! I know, everyone says it, but in this instance it's true.
We don't have any big plans today. We are going to McDonald's for lunch (classy, huh?) and then make a stop at Wal-Mart (soo much excitement I know), then ???? It's our niece's birthday so maybe Beau's Mom and niece might come over for dinner (if Beau would ever call them like he said he was going to do...yesterday).
So, of course I thought it would be a nice gesture to let Beau sleep in. We have been staying up too late and the boys get up at 6:45am EVERY day even if they go to bed at midnight.....So letting Beau sleep in and am questioning if that was a good idea. By the time he gets up, he might have 1..or 2 less children! They are driving me NUTS!
"I am so lucky to have summer's off. I LOVE spending time with my kids and watching them grow and develop! I need to cherish my time with them"....Pshhhh! That's how I think I should feel. How I really feel: "If I have to break up one more fight I'm going to duct tape them to a chair. I would give one of the two older ones away but I'm pretty sure they will have killed each other by the end of the summer. And the little one....oooh! He can be the worst. If I have to take him off the top of a table or a chair he has pushed up to the counter or pull his hands out of the toilet one more time, I may scream!!!!
I just downloaded and am starting to read Confessions of a Scary Mom. It may be one of the best, most real, funniest books I have read in a LONG time. I couldn't put it down last night. If it was about a kid under the age of 5, I could relate to it. It talks about pregnancy, delivery and raising kids. The author, Jill Smokler is a Mom who tells it like it is. She started a blog to try to keep her sanity and it turned into people she didn't even know reading the blog and a book. At the beginning of every chapter there are statements that anonymous Mom's have written on her blog! I love the honesty!
"I pee when I cough, I fart when I sneeze, and I'm sure I'll crap on the delivery table."
"I'm eating for three. Problem is, I'm only expecting one and she's the size of a pea right now."
"To the new mom who left the hospital looking like a million bucks: I hate you!"
"My baby's vibrating bouncy seat broke yesterday, so now my "top of the shelf drawer" toy is wrapped in a receiving blanket and tucked into the side of the car seat. Desperate times call for desperate measures."
That's as far as I've gotten. I'm on Chapter 3 and secretly thinking I need to have a bout of diarrhea so that I can sit in the bathroom in peace and finish reading it today :)
But instead I'll attempt to cherish the happy moments and give Beau a Happy Father's Day!
Oh- and I'm going to try to write a confession every time I blog...Showing that I am Human!
1. I didn't want to cook the boys breakfast yesterday so I let them eat oatmeal cookies...And justified it being "ok" because there was oatmeal in them.
