Well. I survived Monday. Phew! For a while there I wasn't sure I would make it. Tuesday may not be any better but at least it doesn't share the awful expectations of a Monday.
On Mondays I expect;
To lose my keys when I'm running late
The dog to eat my last $20
The kids to try to kill each other
The car to run out of gas
Traffic to be a twisted knot in the middle of the intersection
Birds to target the car and drop poo on it simultaneously
The movie I want to be checked out of the red box
To forget to bring money for parking...again
The computer to crash in the middle of a blog post
and many other things....
But I never expect to miss him quite as much as I always do.
For me, Mondays are only Mondays because he has to go back to work after being mine all weekend.
I hate Mondays.

Sunday, June 27, 2010
This day seems to have flown by! We have had a calm and lazy day at home. Well, as calm and lazy as you could have with three rambunctious boys and a baby girl who is discovering everything around her as if it is the first time she has seen it.
I am reading a book. You may have heard of it. It is called My Sister's Keeper. It is a good book but for some reason I keep having to take short breaks from it. I just get restless and a little bored. But it is by no means a boring read. I assume it's just that I have been easily distracted for the last few days.
I have done NO house work for the last few days. This is a no no because even when it is "clean" it is still very lived in. It is always a bit messy looking. But today my dh and I shared the job of cleaning the living room. If my back didn't hurt when I stand for too long, we would do the dishes together.. Yes, I do have a dishwasher. The only problem is that is still sitting in the basement patiently waiting to be installed. I, on the other hand, am not so patiently waiting. I nag about it every time it crosses my mind. My poor hubby. He really does work so hard to support our family. So I do understand his procrastination to tackle my "honey do" list.
We had home made pizza tonight for supper. I am so scatter brained that I forgot some of the more important ingredients for the pizzas. I was supposed to be making spinach chicken Alfredo pizza for me and the hubby and pepperoni pizza for the boys and Sammie. Guess what I forgot? I forgot the chicken and the pepperoni. so the kids had just plain cheese pizza and my sweetie and I had spinach Alfredo pizza. they were both good, even without the meat!
And that is pretty much all that happened on my lazy Sunday at home with my family.
I'll be signing off for now.
Until next time,
Shirley

OMGsh! I stayed up way too late last night. I am SO not ready to start this day! I want to go back to sleep but 3 of the kids and the dog have different plans for me. My dh is still in bed. Wish I was.
Barney is on TV. Jacob just loves him. Little Tommy tolerates him in hopes of getting to choose the next program.
Isaac is still asleep. Sometime in the night he moved to the couch. I don't know what the pull is to sleep on the couch but all the boys always want to do it. I makes me want to get rid of their beds and just make their room a play room. But that will never happen. I like our alone time after the kids go to bed too much. They go to bed pretty early, around 7 or 8.
Samantha is awake but is still in bed amusing herself. I can't believe hoe big she is getting. in a few weeks she will be a year old. It seems such a short time ago that we brought her home from the hospital. This little fragile girl who slept all the time. I miss that but I love the new personality that she is developing. I may not be fortunate enough to say that in about 15 years!
She is beginning to not be so happy amusing herself so I better sign off now.

my sane life
I needed a place to write just for the sake of writing. Thus a blog is born. I hope that I can write a thing or two that will be of some interest or at least amusing for someone out there.
Today was just an ordinary day. Nothing special is going on around here. Nothing exciting. That is just the way I like it. The boys were acting like boys all day long and Sam is teething. She seems to be in misery. Poor thing.
Tommy has been home with me all day. It's the best kind of day. I love it when he is home with me and I miss him when he is not. This coming February we will have been married for 12 years. It doesn't seem like it's been that long. In my head I still feel like I'm a teenager with an exciting boyfriend. It seems odd to me that I am all grown up. I'm 33 and the mother of four.
I love my life and I could never imagine it any other way.
