Most days I am mildly aware that I have 7 children. But today there was no escaping that fact. I swear everytime I turned around I was re-picking something up. Re-picking... "didn't i just throw that away? Wasn't that just in the toy box? Why is there a pencil in the fridge?" Okay don't get me wrong I am really not complaining just more observing that there are a lot of kids running around here.
Not too long ago a friend of mine told me that she envisioned me waking up each morning with a song, sweetly arousing the children as I make them a homemade breakfast and send them off to school with smiles on their faces and tummy's full of whole some goodness. I told her she was absolutely right if our morning song is "They're coming to take me away", and arousing them sweetly consist of me repeating over and over that "you have five minute if I come back in there you won't have to worry about going to school" , and homemade breakfast consists of what ever cereal has the least amount of sugar in it, or what ever in the fridge doesn't have mold on it!
Okay I am just kidding, I think!? I do love my family and all the roller coaster hills it come with. I honestly couldn't imagine my life any other way. I just had an unexpected visitor and my living room looked as if every article of clothing in the house was some how all over the couches. As soon as I answered the door all of a sudden I became the most popular person in the house and you would have thought they were going to hit the jack pot for seeing who could say my name the most in a ten minute span. Sometimes I have to imagine that Our Lord is having the time of his life watching us all down here, " Oh look, I thought for sure she was about to send that one back up here for a minute ". But I promise I am not complaining. Now excuse me while I explain to the boys once again why it isn't fun to Mommy to make the 2 year old scream at the top of her lungs. Oh the joys of motherhood!
