I know you come here to laugh. Me too. But I've just been feeling so unfunny lately. I'm exhausted and can only make lists. And speak in short, choppy sentences. These things exhaust me:
1 - picking up wet towels and clothes off my 9 & 12 year old's bedroom CARPET day after day. They're missing the "put things away" gene (perhaps they are secretely male? They can't ever FIND anything either).
2 - sleeping sitting up on the couch or rocker holding the baby who won't sleep unless we do it that way. He's laying down either way so I'm not sure why MY positioning matters.
3 - cleaning up "accidents" from Brennan. Yesterday he peed in his hair and on the ceiling. Yes, the ceiling. He pointed his penis the wrong way, he says.
4 - Keaton's therapy. He has to wear a blocking collar now and he hates it. I hope he doesn't get into S & M when he's older. I'm not sure why all of the children in the pictures I found of that collar are so damned happy. Keaton is most definitely NOT happy when it's on.
5 - Corban is going back to Occupational Therapy and has to go in for another evaluation for an "official diagnosis" other than SPD. He has to do this before he is 5 and no longer falls under the early intervention heading. He turns 5 July 7th. The place we were referred is booked through June. People should really work harder to accommodate my needs.
6 - Cara's birthday is in 2 weeks and I have nothing planned and no invitations ready for any party. Must not let her down, again, like when I forgot to bring snack to girl scouts or forgot to take her to the Fly-Up ceremony two weeks ago.
7 - End of year concerts blow. Yeah, I know - weepy weepy sad. Whatever. I hate sitting through those things. Dragging the three boys to sit through them with me? #canigetasupersizedvaliumtogoplease
8 - how much laundry can one family generate? Why is every towel in the house dirty right now? Is it completely necessary to change clothes EVERY day?
9 - it's time to make the monthly menu. How about it looks like this: Mac n cheese, hot dogs, sandwiches, cereal, take out, leftovers, repeat. Good, no?
10 - children fighting and arguing. "He touched me she touched me she spit on me he smacked me she took my hoody without asking he stole my guy he won't give me my car back she won't stop looking at me Mom! he's copying me Mom! she is chewing too loudly." Oh! I know! How about SHUT UP!
I think my supermom tool belt is broken. Send replacement soon.
P.S. If you could develop a stealth mode shield for me, I'd be grateful.

oh LOLing at #3!
It's a list kind of day. : ) Nothing like being pulled in every direction. Here's to being mommy's! Here's to my freakish stripe of gray hair i've developed this year! Am I the only one? Hope you find some time to relax soon!
p.s. I'm afraid to go down the basement, I think the laundry is mating. ugh!
All I can say is me too.
The towel thing is pretty easy. They each get one towel {either buy a certain color or monogram them} for the week and if it is wet on the floor they just have to deal with it:) That would also help with the massive amounts of laundry! That collar looks interesting...and LOL at S&M:) I didn't know their was a supermom tool belt...maybe that's what I've been missing this whole time!
I'm tired too. Thank God for wine and bed time.
I do not envy you. BUT, more people love you unconditionally than love me... that's gotta be awesome, right?

I totally understand. I got the laundry all done last week....and then found a pile of dirty laundry that my son had put in the floor of the linen closet :(
I've got a list of things I'm tired of too...it's getting longer...
#6 - just do something simple...missing a kids birthday is never fun, but anything you do she will be grateful for.
#9 - have kids help with meals, they might have some ideas that you didn't think of.
Supermom belt is in the mail!
Oh girl. Can I help? I would totally send out invitations for you or something.
And I don't know what a blocking collar is, but it doesn't look like fun...hope he gets used to it at least. The last thing you need is an uncomfortable, miserable boy.
I hope you get a break! I'm serious...anything I can do, even if I'm just a venting audience.
how is it you make mundane, funny.
in the trenches with you..drink wine.
;)
That is an overwhelming list. Let me see if I can help you out a little. I can make an invite for Cara's party in photoshop and you can have it printed at Walgreens or wherever you print pictures. It would be one thing off your plate. Email me if you're interested. I make pretty cute invites!
Gee, now I feel bad about feeling exhausted - I only have the one kid to contend with.
#3 had me laughing out loud :)
#1? Every. damn. day. of. my. life. And, now that they're swimming 300x a day, I decided to give them 1 towel. Yes. One. They must share it. Because if I have to keep washing 5 loads of towels a day AFTER I go to their room and retrieve a billion wet towels and swim trunks off their floor, I will lose it.
I've never heard of a blocking collar before, but I looked at the pic. I don't think I'd like it either. :/
My middle was my hold me all night child. I slept in the recliner with him on my chest for a veeeeeeeeery long time. Well, until he was big enough that I couldn't squash him and then I put him in bed with me... he stayed there for 5 years. lol.
