Why I sometimes don't have time to blog!

I had a friend comment that I wasn’t gone yet, so where was my blog for the day, so this blog is in response to her question. This will give you an idea of what motherhood sometimes is like. I warn you now that it is long, boring and just the day in life of a mother.

With that being said, some of you know that I was painting my kitchen. I have finished but it all started with prep work on Friday. Oh the joyous time of scrubbing walls and taping off a Zillion cupboards and doorways. Along with doing school this was pretty much my Friday.

Saturday, if you red my hubbsters blog, you would know that he took Jake on a fathers son day. I went to a baby shower with Mic Mac until about 1 in the afternoon. Then zipped into the babysitters and pick up BUG BUG (sorry 1-1/2 year olds just don’t do showers). When I got home I changed into my DD bright red painting sweats…. (oh yea…. REAL SEXY…. Especially 8 months prego) and an oversized Larry the Cucumber shirt…..(Getting Sexier by the min aren’t I) and finished the taping, and plastic laying need in the kitchen. Have I yet mentioned that I really hate the prep to paint. I LOVE PAINTING…. Just hate the start up. Anyways I managed to get the first layer of paint on the walls, which is a yellow with a technique over the top. Then letting the paint dry I hung curtains in my living room. About the time I was finishing a friend called and invited me over for supper. This was awesome because I hadn’t had time to get a meal together for supper. By the time we got home it was time to hit the hay... But I put the second coat of my base color yellow on the wall. Yes people I am CRAZY! While painting I was on the phone trying to line up a babysitter for Sunday night because we had a church get together thing and we were still without the sitter. (By the way I never did find someone).

Sunday... I rolled out of bed and got ready for church and bless his heart my hubbster made me a Mocha…. Ahhhhh It was like the heady sensation you get after…. Well that might be just a little bit too much information… but you get the point. Zipped everyone into their Sunday bests and off to church we went. After church we went to a short meeting, (our church is going through some interesting stuff right now) and home to feed the hungry beasts. By the way at church I found someone to watch the kiddos for the evening party. I change back into my sexy DD Red painting sweats and the oversized Larry the Cucumber Shirt it’s up the ladder again to get the first part of the technique applied to the walls. Finishing with just enough time to clean up the brushes and rags, I change into acceptable clothing and head into get the babysitter. Remembering that I was suppose to bring a dish to pass, I stop at the local gas station, pick up a bag of chips, for I had just made a big batch of homemade salsa and figured that would have to work. I grabbed the babysitter and head home. The babysitter being new to our house, got the quick run down of where everything was located, and then hubbster and I were off. We had a great time fellowshipping with friends, playing crazy games, and sharing time around a campfire! Needless to say when I got home I didn’t paint for I needed to get the school work ready for the kiddo’s the next morning.

Monday….. Oh… wonderful Mondays. Can I just say that I just wanted to roll over and go back to sleep…but I didn’t. Got the kiddo’s rolling, doing their chores, (feeding the dog and kittens) fed them breakfast and we were ready for school. Schooling has been fun and I enjoy this time of the day. Finishing that we grab dinner and then I am once again in my… yes say it with me everyone… sexy DD red painting sweatpants and Larry the Cucumber t-shirt. I did the final color on the wall, and was happy with the way it turned out. It has an Italian feel to it! Now it was time to remove all the tape, plastics, and do any touch ups…. Feeling like I had a new kitchen I cleaned everything up, rearranged a few things and before you know it was 10:00 at night and I still need to prepare my lesson for the kiddo’s for tomorrow!

Tuesday…Ahhh I rise and shine extra early today for I am watching 2 of my friends kids overnight and they will be arriving at 8:00 am. I get the kids going on their schooling so that they can be done by the time their friends arrived. Between feeding the kiddo’s, getting the laundry all washed so that I am ready with all the clothes we will need for the weekend, deciding to bake everything under the sun, and building a fort the size of my living room out of blankets….(Which if you don’t get this read the post before this one.) It was time for supper. The kiddo’s were so tired that by the time the kitchen was cleaned up it was time to pack the crew into their beds. I thought FOR SURE, they would just fall asleep after playing on the trampoline with the water hose and just the long day they had had…. But NOOOO! Ben and I make multiple trips up the stairs, to tell them to get to sleep. Last trip was at 10:45 and 3 of them were still awake. Coming back down the stairs I am thinking at least they will sleep in, in the morning!

Wednesday (today)….. WRONG… WRONG…. WRONG! 6:45 Aaron, the youngest wakes EVERBODY up! GRRRRRRR! At this time I am tired and cranky and just want some sleep BUT duty calls. I get my tired arse out of the bed and start the breakfast feed. I know that with the lack of sleep these young kiddo’s have had, that a storm is brewing… I just don’t know when it will hit. And it did….. Lunchtime… Yep, not only is it hard enough to get everyone feed but Aaron decided that he wanted to sit in his brothers spot! I told him that he needed to go sit in his own spot with his Scooby doo cup. But to no avail. With limbs thrashing, and ear splitting screaming, I carry this almost 4 year old into another room and tell him that when he is done screaming he can come and eat at the table. I close the door. The screaming ensues…..the kicking of the wall and door begins. I go back into the room, make him look at me, while he’s screaming and told him that he is not to kick the walls or the door. 15 min later… it stops…..I go to the door, and ask if he is ready to join us at the table. “Yep” he says, and crawls up on his chair and finishes his meal. Can I just say that when their mother came and I was just back to 3 kids, I laid on the couch, reveling in the fact that I wasn’t going to move a muscle for at least ½ hour. The phone rings……

Anyways… this brings us to our current time and place. I still need to pack our bags but everything is clean and in their drawers so it shouldn’t take long and we are having left over pizza for supper tonight! I LOVE LEFTOVERS! I will be back posting on Tuesday with all the details and pics from the wedding.
