New Years Eve

Grab some funny glasses or head bands and have a fun little party at home! We didn't stay up until midnight, but I let them stay up unitl 9:00 pm and they thought that was pretty awesome! Every hour starting at 4:00 pm we had a fun "surprise." For example: At 4:00 pm we had a silly string fight, then at 5:00 pm we made personal pizzas, 6:00 pm we opened up presents (Funny hats, glasses, noise makers, and head bands), 7:00 pm we set up an obstacle course and had a race, 8:00 pm we did a new years craft, 9:00 pm I found a YouTube video of the ball dropping last year and we had a count down and it was great! Even the dog got in on some fun!

You're Only A Mom

You're a mom. We get breakfast ready, pack lunches, make beds, dress the kids, get kids to school, we go to work, come home and chase the kids around until we walk a fine line between going crazy and trying to get the kids to listen. We then make dinner, bathe children, read bed time stories, and brush teeth.

Then bedtime comes, I really hope I'm not the only mom who's kids find every excuse in the universe to get out of their bed. "I'm thirsty. I want to sleep on the couch. It's dark outside," and my personal favorite "there is an alligator in my bed," to this day (he came up with this when he was 3, he is now 5) he will not sleep under the covers, he sleeps on top of them with his favorite blanket on top of him.

After the "crazies" are safe and snug in their beds we relax right? That's a negative! Now we do laundry, dishes, pick up the house, take a shower because there is no possible time to work that in during the morning and then maybe if you're lucky you might be able to squeeze in an episode of "FRIENDS" before you climb in to bed.

I suppose you noticed there is no mention of spending time with your spouse. Sometimes we get a quick "high five" in and if we're lucky we'll get to have a conversation after the kids are in bed and if we're really lucky we'll get to watch "FRIENDS" together! But we love each other and all the craziness is what makes our love grow!
