Stream of Conciousness

I love the idea of this Stream of Conciousness post but every time I sit down here to write, the only thing I can think about is laundry and grocery lists and potty schedules and stuff that is kid related. How boring is that? I want to be interesting and deep. I was staring at the screen trying to think about what to write and I went to read some other SOC posts. Fadra's struck me incredibly today and from there I read a few more posts which further convuluted my thoughts.

So I came back to stare at the screen. I still have nothing. Is my life boring? It's probably quite pedantic to some people. 5 kids, 2 jobs, 1 husband and countless neighbor kids that come and go. I don't think it's boring though. I think it's right where I always didn't know I wanted it to be. Does that make sense? I don't like the cleaning part, but the rest of it? I love. I love being so busy with all these kids. I love being a wife. I love making breakfast for the family and meeting them at the door after school with a homemade snack. I don't want to be June Cleaver or Donna Reed - I'd have to completely self-medicate to get through that madness, but I am happy with where I'm at right now.

Though I'd really like a fenced yard and a maid. And maybe to win the lottery. Yeah, definitely to win the lottery.
