3 Girls and a Guy

This is what last week looked like............


Mom can we do this, can we do that, can we have this, can we have that???????? Mom, Mom, Mom. I highlighted the girls hair one day and Alex hated it. It was orange or so she thought. She bawled for hours and so I finally called Aunt Ashley and she fixed it. Thank heavens for Aunt Ashley. Then Abby bawled because Alex's hair was more highlighted than her hair. She bawled like someone died too. This is how off track went. I would start in on them and tell them what brats they are and how ungrateful they are. Off track was a real challenge this last time. We had many episodes like this one, and I had a headache most of the time. Many times they didn't like me, and many times I didn't like them. I try to have fun with my girls and it wasn't good enough this time. Why couldn't it be pleasant-I don't know.

THIS WEEK IS MUCH BETTER. Kade and I chill in the morning and he is back in his routine and then he goes to preschool. He is so pleasant when the girls are at school and he can do his thing and no one bugs him. My house is clean, my pantry has food in it, no headache, I am so happy and giddy. I can do errands by myself and sneak in a lunch or two with girlies I love. The couple hours in the afternoon without kids makes me a better mom and gives me the energy to gear up for all the of afterschool activities. I have a new leash on life this week. I hope it lasts until Spring. I love my kids, but I could never home school!
