My greatest joys

My two greatest joys are my kids. I couldn't imagine my life without them at all. I can't imagine what I would do if I couldn't tell Bean to stop jumping on her brother a thousand times or listening to goo scream his head off because he isn't getting his way (he's a fiesty 10 month old). But I do have my days when I'm so frustrated and at my wits end that I relive in my head those calgon commercials from long ago. I mean who wouldn't want to sit in a hot bubbly bath for hours ignoring lifes demands and personal obligations and forgot those dang adult responsibilities. And as I'm writing I'm yelling at my daughter to "drop the lipstick, do not ruin my lipstick" Caitlin "but I want lips mommy" and as my son is screaming his head off because he just doesn't want to go down for his nap, and the dog whining because he needs to go out for a pee break. All this happening, as I just walked into the house after docs appts, picking up a child from school, feeding diapering(did I happen to mention my daughter, after i said no of course, snuck into the livingroom with her popsicle behind her back. I just scared her by saying excuse me, she jumped and knew instantly she was in trouble.

Now, I'm sitting here tapping my foot thinking, dear god when is Tom going to be home.

But no really the list of reason why I adore my children could go on forever. The funny things they do, the funny things they say. They are the greatest joys in my life!!


P.S. did I mention the poopy diapers???
