One among many

I think in an attempt to keep this blog interesting, I write about the interesting and abnormal days. It just occurred to me that I might want to remember what a normal day looks like, in my life right now. Most days nothing cute happens with the kids. Most days, we don't have the birth or death of an animal. Most days we don't explore exotic locations.

No, most days we groggily get up to do the must-do's. The alarm goes off, and I'm too tired to get up, so I hit snooze a few times. I didn't go to bed on time the night before, like I said I would. The house is 58 degrees, to conserve energy. My hair is a mess, my eyes swollen, I have to go to the bathroom, and my breath smells bed. Who writes movies scripts where the stars have a loving make-out session the moment they wake up?

So after I drap myself out of bed, I get the kids ready for the day. This includes making 4 bowls of oatmeal in the microwave. Some like me to stir the oatmeal for them, while others freak out if the raw sugar isn't like a blanket on the top. It happens to be Sunday, which means I have to scrounge around to find some clean/decent looking clothes. That's not a small feat for 4 people!! Then comes the hair! Bed hair is not something that will be present in heaven!

Somewhere along this time, the whining starts. Many questions fly my way. Then, when one kid asks me something that the other doesn't agree with, the arguing quickly follows. In the last minute, literally over ten questions have been flung my way.

Anyways... I didn't have time to finish this post.. but I was going to put a more positive spin on it. For now, I just don't feel like finishing it...
