3 kids or 4???

Well, my last post was about curveballs, and how I knocked them out of the park. I think the past few days have been a whirlwind of curveballs. So many, I lost count. However, this round, I was defeated.

I hate to have a defeatest attitude, but sometimes it just gets the best of me. Saturday was spent with 3 sickly kids. All 3 of them vomited in a 24 hour period. I am pretty sure it was due to allergies and drainage, because they are all okay now, they just have stuffy noses. After I didn't have ANY sleep Friday night, I had about a 15 minute nap Saturday. That didn't do much for me. I was angry Saturday night because I got in bed after 10 PM. I REALLY wanted to be in bed by like 8, however, the children wouldn't co-operate. I really didn't want to get up in the morning and get ready for church, but I did. I am so glad that I did. Our pastor had an amazing sermon. This Sunday it was short, and to the point, fire and brimstone. I LOVE it! I love his sermons because there isn't a "hidden meaning." He lays it all out for you, and gives it to you straight. I used to have a difficult time at my last church because it was like you had to look for the hidden meaning in what was NOT said. It was very confusing and very unfulfilling for me. I guess that should have been the point where I needed to move on. However, this Sunday was so refreshing for me. I know the week was going to be GREAT.

Boy, was I wrong.

Not that it has been terrible, but it hasn't been one of the better weeks. Yesterday, I had a meeting at church. It was wonderful to be away from my kids for that long...then I had to pick them up. I was glad to see them, I was not glad to have to pay to pick them up, but when you have to pay someone to watch your kids, you can't really complain. The one thing I was going to do, was apply for some jobs, however, I forgot. Maybe I can drop them off one day and go fill out these applications. I spent the majority of yesterday afternoon cleaning, and yelling, but such is the life of a mom.

Then, today comes...I have a terrible headache. No, no, not just terrible, but TERRIBLE. I had to turn of all the lights and just let the kids do whatever they pleased. Not a great idea. So, I had to turn the lights on and clean up their messes...with my headache. Then I cooked dinner. Now, the husband is home, and after everyone is done eating, I get to clean all over again. I am watching Logan lick the table clean. Anyways...the title of today's post...really has to do with my 3 children...and my husband. Do I mind having to clean up after him like I do with the other kids?? Not really, Yes, I wish he would put his dishes in the dishwasher instead of the sink, but it's okay. He works all day away from home. I don't mind cleaning up after him. Yes, I wish he would give me a hand on rough days like today, but it's okay. I am a mom, and a wife, I signed up for this job a long time ago. However, I did see on the news today that "they" (I don't know who "they" is) figured out how much a stay at home mom should make a year. I guess "they" based it on all of a mom's jobs, and a SAHM should make around $120,000 a year. I SOOOOOOO wish I got paid money for being a mom. That would be fantastic, but I will settle for hearing a "Mom, you make the best food all of the days." even on days that I just make Tuna Helper.

Tomorrow, is church. We are starting new classes for the kiddos. Addison has decided to do card making. I am helping out in card making, so we will see how that goes. Anyways...Here is a picture...or 3 =)
