Real Mom's Life

Twins are Mischeivous!

OK, so I went to my sister-in-law's bay shower and come home to a complete disaster...laundry is piled high in the living room, my son Greg has built a tent with his bedding, and my twins, Sara and Becca, have found the chocolate syrup!!  The have sprayed the syrup up and down my freshly cleaned hard-wood floors and are skating up and down the hall!!!  My ten month old son, Brandon, is barely hanging on to the side of the couch and about to trip on his pants which are coming off.

To make matter worse, my mother in law was with me, along with four of her daughters, and one more sister-in-law!!  Frustration sets in that so many people have witnessed my husband's nap time disaster and I have to keep a smile on my face! 

A day in the life!

Well, here I am, nearly midnight and I have to be to work in less that 5.5 hours...I should quite frankly be sleeping.  But no!!!  Here I am trying to pick out just the right them design for a blog I decided to create about an hour ago.  What theme do I want on the page?  What is a feed burner?  What keywords do I put in?  I thought this was only going to take a few minutes?

It never takes the "recommended time" in anything for me. 

And I don't think it is because of ineffieciency on my part.  They don't count the time it takes to get the ingredients out of the cupboards and measure them...they don't factor in grill heating time...there are few 25 minute recipes out there.  That Rachel Ray, or whatever the name of the 30 minute meal queen, makes it looks so simple, but anyone with common sense can see it is all ready for her to barely get done in the 30 minute timeframe.

What is the point, you must be asking...THERE IS NOT ENOUGH HOURS IN THE DAY TO GET IT ALL DONE!! There is always so much to do and I am a person who likes to get it done!!

Problem is I also like to sleep, watch TV, play with my kids, spend time with my husband, and maintain relationships with my sistas!  I have a five beautiful kids with my husband of six years, and work a fulltime job working with at risk teenagers in a supervisory role over around 65 staff members.  I love it all; I function well in high stress, fast pace environments.

That is pretty much my life...high stress and face pace.  Is there anyone who can feel this, besides my sista Stacy?

It can be weighty, but could I really deal with anything else?  Naw, I'd be bored!
