WHY !?!




It's been one of those mornings already and by those... well, I shall explain...

WHY... does "sleeping- in" these days include a toddler jumping on my head, stealing sleeping Lauren's "nu" and offering it to me, listening to "quiet play" only to discover "quiet play" consists of emptying dresser drawers and dumping 2 baskets of neatly folded laundry then covering any bare carpet with neatly folded laundry?

WHY... can't I walk across my living room without the crunch crunch of "chee" (cheerios) beneath my toes?

WHY... does Davey continually make his cheerios "dance" by dumping them on the couch and smacking the cushions? On another note, curious how many goldfish crackers a dump truck can hold before being dumped and stomped on? Just ask Davey!

WHY...are Baby Einstein DVDs only 30 minutes long and why won't either of my 2 children sit through even 1 show?

WHY... do children look and seem more angelic while sleeping?

WHY... is nap time the most important time of day? See questions above!!!

Ahh, motherhood...

This morning, instead of waking to the chirping of birds singing happily outside my window , I awoke to my screaming son...who had soaked through his diaper and his pajamas and was frantically searching for his "nu" (nuk). GOOD MORNING!

This morning, instead of enjoying a quiet cup of coffee in peace, I sucked my cup of coffee down...in the shower. I didn't have the time to do both and with a busy 19 mo. old and a "waking any minute" 3 mo. old...time is of the essence!

This morning, instead of taking my time and enjoying a nice hot shower, I was presented with... a "sticky" kid who decided to join me in the shower after dumping grapefruit juice all over himself, the table, his chair and the floor.

ahh, Motherhood!!!
