Really!?!?!?!

~

OK, I am at my witts end!

Are my boys slobs, and lazy slobs at that?

I know they are 4 and fixing to be 3 but GEEZE!

How hard is it to not dump out your dresser when getting dressed? REALLY!?! Or when looking for a toy, not to completely dump out the toy box and the toy they are looking for not to be there so they move on to the next toy box and do the exact same thing... NEVER having picked up a single toy????? Do other kids do this? Are my kids the odd balls? I am just baffled?

In the living room they will drag toys out but once I say its time to clean up they are , The oldest is like a mad man cleaning up. I mean he picks up everything and will even vacuum. I am honestly impressed at how well he cleans up, everything in its place. BUT, when it comes to their room, its like night and day!

I dunno maybe I should be greatful at how well they he can clean up the living room and just shut their bedroom door and just deal with it. But I seriously can feel my blood start to boil when I walk past their room after finally myself cleaning it up, fighting with them tooth and nail to get them to help me, only having the clean room last all of what? 2 hours?? That is their room, so I prefer them to play in there. BUT GEEZE!

Please tell me I am not alone?

Please tell me my boys are not the odd balls?

Ohh Lord, Give me Strength!

Haunting Scilence

Well I totally am NOT used to my house being quiet. Being up before the kids kinda creeps me out... As I sat here this morning and could hear a pin drop, looking out the front window watching a squirrel run across the porch, the sun starting to blaze in the far distance, I realized something... Why in the HECK was I up! Ohh yeah my darling little no named girl was keeping me awake! Yes you heard it she still doesnt have a name, and we only have 33 days left! So maybe thats why the Scilence was getting to me? Or Maybe because I know I need a name for her but, I just cannot decide. Ho Hum!

Day breaks and a groggy lil man aroze from his sleepy slumber, to crawl into my lap and say, "It's a sunny Day Momma, Where we goin?" I guess he thinks we should keep the roads hot, but Momma's got alot to do before the baby gets here. So Nope baby were not going anywhere this sunny day.

Whats a Mom to do..

Well, I have been thinking... I know right!?!?

Lieing in bed trying not to toss and turn because it feels like my hips have been seperated and put back together by a botched surgeon. I can feel the newest little one trying to make room in there and hiccups for the past 2 hours. So this is why I have been up since 5, I think the baby is trying to prepair me for many sleepless nights ahead. But you know, I guess I should be an old pro by now.. This being my fourth child in a matter of four years, well more like four and a half but whis counting... Not me obviously! I have been pregnant for 3 years and 4 months... Again who is counting... Holy MOLY! I really must be a glutten for punnishment as some have said or I could just really love having kids.
I thought I was prepaired when I had my first, knowing what I was going into for the labor and delivery part. BUT there was no way that I wanted to do it natural, not that I am going to knock it at all.. BUT once again natural delivery is not for me. I am as tough as they come but if I know there is something that can take the pain away, I wanted it!! Good thing I did because after 18 hours of pitocin and cervidil, I was wisked away to have an emergency C-section. Not my origional plan of action but hey, I didn't have to PUSH, and ohh my after seeing a few videos I am SO SO glad that I didn't. I give mad props to all the women in the world that have had natural births and even medicated vaginal births, You ladies ROCK, I applaud you! So since that very day, I have been stuck to having C-sections, ohh darn right. It's quite convienent knowing when the baby is going to come being able to schedule everything out, doesn't seem natural or even the right way but hey, it works for us. I really like being able to plan ahead, to be able to tell the Grandparents, hey the baby is coming this day, so can you keep all the kids? And keep them at our house so they stay on their routine and make sure that they are at the hospital when the baby is born and make sure that you do not feed them alot of junk food and no pacifier unless the littlest one is going to sleep and Do NOT loose Cargo (a small stuffed dog) Heaven forbid DO NOT LOOSE CARGO!!! Also there is a small large book by microwave its about 2 inches thick and a spiral bound 8.5 X 11 notebook, well its full of notes too. Not that I am asking alot right?
Being a stay at home Mom, you are just so used to things a certain way, having the kids with you 24/7, not being able to use the bathroom by yourself, getting a list from each child for every meal go figure no one wants the same thing.. But you know I didn't ask them what they wanted, did I?!? Having a neat and tidy house HA! I cannot believe I even said that, Cleaning in circles all day through, wondering why I even bother?
But you know this is the life we have choosen, I stay at home with are 3 wonderfuly amazing children fixing to be 4 in 33 days, WOW. My wonderful Hubby works his buns off to provide for us, so that I can stay home. Is it hard? YES! Is it stressful? YES! Are we strapped? Yes! But is it worth it? YES! Would I change it? NEVER

So whats a Mom to do.....
