I have no excuse

for not blogging, except for the fact that I am exhausted. I am blogging right now in my kitchen as my freshly bathed kids are sliding barefoot in their pajamas across my just mopped floor. Why do I even mop? Why do I even bathe my kids? hahah just kidding, maybe. I am just so drained at the end of the day that the last thing on my mind is blogging. Today I have not even gotten to shower. My day went like this.

6am: Wake up, throw up my hair, throw on something to wear, throw my hair in a pony tail, brush teeth, make breakfast for all boys (including my husband), try to get at least 2 cups of coffee down.
6:30: wake up boys, get them dressed and fed, make Talan's lunch, make sure I have all my stuff for playgroup, sippy cups, blankets, diaper bag packed, stroller in car.
7:45: Put the kids shoes back on, change Gavin's shirt which is covered in juice, load kids in car.
7:50: Turn car around because I forgot my phone
8:05am Drop Talan off at school
8:15-8:45 Run to Walmart for paper plates, paper towels and other necessities
9:15: Get to Park for Stroller Strides
9:30-10:30 Stroller Strides
10:45am I am playgroup captain so I set up the "Ant's on a Log" playgroup, then cleaned up while trying to watch Gavin on the playground who wanted nothing to do with my craft.
11:15: Run into Costco for Milk
11:50 Pick up Talan from school, this takes me 30 minutes because Talan decided he had to go to the bathroom 2 seperate times, had to say goodbye again to his teacher, then decided that he just didn't want to listen to me so by the time I get the boys in the car it is now 12:20.
12:45 Get home and try to unload the car while the boys get into the chalk in the garage and make a colorful mess of my walls/floor in the garage.
1:15 Gavin goes down for a nap
1:30 Talan falls asleep on couch
1:30: Mommy puts everything away while trying to do laundry, clean up garage and maybe shower?
3:00: Boys wake up, no shower for mommy.
4:15:Jazzercise~phew, an hour to myself!!! This is honestly my sanity in my day.
5:30:Get to chinese food place (which by the way did you know Tuesday's are $2 Bowl day??) Line out the door, 2 hungry toddlers who HAVE TO have chinese food. Fun!!! It takes me 45 minutes to get my food.
6:15: Home, eat, clean up
7pm Baths...mommy on the brink of a nervous breakdown
Which leads me to right now...blogging while my 2 crazy boys are probably destroying the other room, but I just had to vent somewhere...and you may be wondering.."WHERE IS MARK?" Well, owning your own business has it's perks but also it's disadvantages...which means he works...a lot. He isn't home yet because he had to meet with more clients.

Anyways, I am about to put these boys to bed so (maybe) I can get a bath?

I am hoping things slow down soon so that I can blog more, and maybe have pictures!!

  2. I totally feel you girl! Life is so crazy and jam packed with kiddos. And, I completely get where you are with not having the hubs around to help out. Mine leaves before the kids wake up and gets back home when they are already in bed. It's hard.

    Hoping today is much better!!
