Thoughts

Do you ever have those days that are hectic and you know won't be slowing down, they'll just be getting faster? During afternoon nap you have to make a choice, sit down and rest too or prepare for the rest of the day such as: emptying the dishwasher, picking up the floor and getting a headstart on dinner. Today I made the wrong choice, I sat down too. From the moment I got home from Ella's parent/teacher conference the phone didn't stop ringing, Dash didn't stop crying and Amaya didn't stop whining.

Do you ever think it would just be easier to remove a couple of treasured items and your kids of course from the house and then set the rest on fire to just start over? Do you just get so tired of the long list of things that need to be done that you are making in your head, you wish a Fairy Godmother that reads minds would read yours and secretly cross all of those things off your list?

Do you ever wish that you were independently wealthy just so you could see your husband 100 hours a week and the rest of the hours that you aren't seeing him he is out buying you flowers and planning the next greatest present? I'd settle for a man that only works 40 hours a week and helps out when he gets home (this isn't to say Shad doesn't help when he gets home, he does).

Do you ever have a day when the husband is home and everything is as chaotic as usual, but it seems better just because you have someone to share it with?

Have you ever wished you could reach into your baby's mouth and pop all the teeth out so they poke out of their gums just right and that's the end of teething?

I have.

On another note: I asked Ella to sit Dash for 10 minutes and I would pay her $2. She immediately went to do as I asked. After it was all said and done I said

"do you want your money?"

She replies "you can keep your money."

I looked at her and said "oh, Ella, do you know what that's called?"

She says "yeah, serving".

I said "I am so proud of you".

She says "I saw it on church on TV, when President Monson was talking."

She is seriously the best kid in the whole wide world. No one has ever existed that is like this one. Man oh Man.

And on another note (actually it is a lot like the first note, but much more worth reading that drabble you just suffered through).

A very funny parent commentary here.
