So until today I was thinking about how much I was enjoying summer vacation. No schedules (except for Franklins naps), hanging out with the kids, getting reaquainted, knowing everything about their lives again, time for beach trips and fun outings.
Well, today…. no real reason…just tired. Exhausted. Can’t keep up with them. They undo everything I do faster than I do it so I’m getting more and more behind. They eat all the food. They dirty the laundry. They stink up the bathroom. They wake up the baby when he’s down for his nap. They all talk to me at once so I can’t hear what any of them are saying. They get out of bed to go potty. And get a drink. And take their flouride. And get a book. And whatever else they need. Then, after all that, they wake up early and start it all over again. {sigh}
I’m sure I’ll enjoy it again…once I get a maid to help me out… 
And a cook, while we’re at it. Still loving the kids part, the hanging out part, it’s the rest that’s killing me. I think I’ll go to bed early tonight.

Awww…hang in there. They’ll grow up so fast…but getting a maid would be awesome!
I feel your pain….Maegan got up about 3-4 times tonight.
i hear ya…but that’s about all i can hear after a day of my kids yelling and screaming and talking all at once.
are you sure you aren’t talking about my house?
my husband has just learned to humor me when I retreat to the bedroom when he gets home in the evening. (about once every couple of weeks.) otherwise I’d be as bald as he is. lol!
so with you on the loving the hanging with the kids thing - but who is gonna clean up after us? I don’t think I have walked out of Alex or Max’s room in a year with out hearing, “Mommy…?” To ask or tell me or request of me or ponder out loud just one more thought before I leave the room…..
But I am the same way.
I don’t want the day to end either.
I want to Have you read Harry Potter yet? I just finished.

Wow - totally can symphathize. The sad part is I only have 2 and you have 4. In fact the toys everywhere and room a mess part is REALLY getting to me and it is not good. A maid would be great but do they have ones that pikc up all the junk the kids leave behind!
Oh my. You are speaking my language - but I only have 3….
i feel ya..I only have one and it is a rough thing…4…wow. Can’t imagine…but the beauty of it is, the little moments in between. you know? Love in the midst of chaos. That is the life of a SAHM.
Dude, maybe we could share a maid and cook…ya know, one of those transcontinental maids…divvy up the cost and all.
It’d be sweet!
i hear ya on KEEPING UP with things… my laundry has been FLUFFED to be folded 3 times now… there is macaroni and cheese on the kitchen floor from lunch still… there are toys scattered ALL OVER EVERYWHERE!… it smells like a stinky diaper in my girls room and I can not figure out where the stench is coming from…ugh!
