It seemed fitting to leave the title as it was.... Braden snatched the keyboard from me and started to type away.

I find myself once again playing blog catch-up. There is much I want to post about our holidays.... mostly our Christmas fire (don't worry... the house is still standing... thanks to a fire extinguisher) But in the few minutes I have today I want to share my new theme song with you.

God bless the American Housewife

The last two days have just about killed me. Going to Grandmas is always a wonderful treat but we do pay the price when it is time to come home. While the kids adjust to having boring mom around to play with again, regular bed times, and better eating habits; Mom has to adjust to cooking meals, cleaning, and well.... being a mom again.

I am in no way complaining here (well... maybe just a little). I love being a housewife and thank my hubby for giving me that opportunity. I love visiting grandmas house and I LOVE my kids..........

BUT

Yesterday I was almost in tears by bed time. I felt like I was chasing two, crazy, grumpy, naughty children in different directions all day! This morning wasn't much better. Here is a quick run down of the mornings events.

Woke up to the kids fighting over a kitchen chair.... There are three others but for some reason the BOTH wanted this ONE this morning. I.... being the great mom that I am... said "figure it out yourselves" and began reading my Harry Potter book while they fought for about an hour. At one point during the argument I was venting on the phone to Victoria when Amalyssa found a way to solve the argument.... NOT. Amalyssa comes around the corner into my bed room heaving with all her might... behind her she is dragging 'THE' chair... and as she makes her way round the corner I see braden dragging along behind the chair, holding on with all his might. OIY!!

After the chair issue was sorted out I got cereal for the kids. Braden promply spilled his all over the floor that I mopped yesterday (though it was christened last night with a glass of chocolate milk). I sent him to wait in the bathroom while I cleaned it up. When I went in to find him he had something splattered all over his face! Sunscreen.... well... at least I won't have to worry about sunburns today. Got Braden in the tub and went to try and pacify Amalyssa for a moment who was asking me every 2 minutes if I could play with her yet. While playing with amalyssa... or rather while she was explaining to me what we were playing, I hear Braden freaking out in the bathtub....... POOP, POOP, POOP!!!! Yes... he had popped in the tub.

So that was my loverly morning. Things have calmed down since then... but I am SOOOO ready for bed time! I was folding laundry and listening to my music when this song by SheDaisy started playing..... I have loved this song since the first time I heard it... but today... I just about cried! LOL..... out of laughter or pain for the truth I am not sure which... but I just HAD to come post it on my blog for all the mothers out there!

Why is it that parenting doesnt come with an instruction manual???
