You ever like you are Alice?

Well I guess it could be Alice falling down the rabbit hole but more like Alice the maid.  Must give props to my mom I always thought she was NUTS getting up at 5am to get the floors mopped & house cleaned before work. 

Now as I find myself getting up at the same time to get a load of laundry in, dish washer loaded, sweep the floors and get the door water & food.  I find myself wondering what happened here. Then I go to work (thankfully that is in my house so I can wear PJ’s), then clock out again find myself unloading the dishwasher, washer, preparing Cole’s lunch & boys breakfast.  Then back to work, then clock off again to pick up Cole.  Get dinner prepared and then off to whatever after school program we have that day.

Well my house WILL never be crystal clean like my moms (I was a pretty clean kid … NO really I sat in my room and read books until High School … that is when it got complicated … hehe).  So to the Mom’s before us I bow down give you the praise and think to myself once more how the heck did I get here?  This after I step on a few lego’s, pick up the umpteenith hot wheel car and oh yes whatever food that was snuck in during the night into the kids room. 

I think I will sit here in my PJ’s for the whole day .. well that is until I have to pick Cole up since I don’t want to be the next fashion victim on What Not to Wear!

I think the house may take me alive soon ….

Sadly I’m still sick as a dog for a week now, I’m hoping that soon my head will feel back to normal.  I’ve been working this whole week it’s been rough but keep pushing threw each day.  Sadly I have not gone to the gym in a week and it’s killing me to be off my routine especially now that I’m back on my thyroid pills which hopefully will help me get back on track health wise.

So the laundry has been pilling up (because of course I’m the only one who can wash and put it away).  The dog hair is trying to invade every inch of the house (again I’m the only one who can vacuum). My dad walked in yesterday (my parents house is the immaculate “museum” as we call it).  I could just see it on his face … lol Thankfully he heard me talk and knew I was sick and not time to mention my cleaning habits . 

This has been one heck of a cold that is kicking my butt.  Some how I’m the only one that can keep the inside of the house clean and pretty soon your going to find me lying on the floor under a pile of dog car that is starting to resemble a coat and laundry over the top of that.  Oh please God let this cold go away.  Even though my family thinks they can function with out me we are seeing the proof they can not.  And my poor children can not eat what my husband calls dinner any longer.  Fast Food may be a meal in his eye but not mine, of course the boys are loving it!

Today I must take a shower and go grocery shopping.  Rain or shine I have a party to host tomorrow and I’m thinking no one will want to see me covered in dog hair or laundry.  What do you think?

I will power threw I have cupcakes, pudding pops and of course Jello Shots to make.

Wish me luck!

I have entered Mom Nirvana ...

Well if you don't count the screaming kids, shredding my finger with the cheese grater and yelling every 5 minutes go play in your room and get out of my kitchen. Beside that what a perfect day I leave work on time, well at least I try to when all of a sudden I can't find my keys. I spend the next 10 minutes tearing apart my purse and trying to carry on a conversation with Brian about invoices with out having the panic I'm going to cry voice. After I found them of course sitting on the filing cabinet since that is the most logical place for them to be! I run pick up the 3 kids, oh boy I can't wait for Cole to be back in School Daycare so we can have a little peace since he'll be the last stop. Then we run and pick up Roy since I wasted so much time looking for my keys we could have made it to the grocery store. Instead of doing that we head home get unloaded and just in time for Tarra to show up.

Tarra and I got busy making the casserole and had a great system down if it weren't for the kids. They of course were not on the same page and my heated warnings to NO KIDS IN THE KITCHEN went over their heads (literally). After almost shredding my finger instead of the cheese did anyone kind of listen that was for maybe 2 minutes. At that time they returned and we had the heated debated of "how come she can sit in here", "I want to see too", "No I sit here", "No I help", oh the joys of being a mom. Next house must have a bigger kitchen, too many little ones under feet! Finally after much pledging and then throwing in the white towel we get the casserole done and ready to go in the oven.

At which time I take my clue to run out the door while Caden is busy eating and Cole is who knows where to get the grocery shopping done. Let me tell you I never have enjoyed the grocery store as much as I did last night. I got to grab what I needed with out anyone asking can have this or I never get anything. I even forgot my bags and was able to Leave (yes you read that right) my cart and run out to the car to grab my bags! That trip was worth every blissful minute! Thank you Tarra.

This is where my nirvana went into overdrive! I come home to have helpers (I know I was shocked too) help carry in the bars. My house cleaner Leah was just finishing up the bathroom and the kids had already had dinner! I had to stop and blink and then open the door to make sure I really did enter the right house. And it just kept on going, while I did up the dishes Leah dusted my whole front room and Tarra gave the kids baths! By the time I was done with dishes I even had time to eat dinner myself and get this watch a little Project Runway! Yup I was having a momgasium! Get your minds out of the gutter it's pleasure for moms!

Now let's see how long the house will stay clean, until next week when she comes ... oh sorry I'm still in my nirvana state I must have cloudy vision!
