8:34 AM. Decided because it’s Friday I needed to rearrange the playroom. Took the sectional apart and 3….. 3 remotes fall out!! We have replaced them every time we lose one. Truly thought we had a remote ghost! 3 remotes!!!
11:22 AM. Lunch. Child #1 asks what’s for lunch? I reply, trying something new, boneless wings. Child #2 (in a very expressive concerned voice) “there are chickens without bones”?!?!?!?
12:49 PM. I’m tired of having a ton of garbage and dishes!! On the plus side, most of the family is wearing things 2 plus days in a row…. so less laundry!! Trying to look at the positive people!!! We don’t care if the house smells… no ones coming over!
1:56 PM. E-learning is making me bi-polar. Yesterday was a great day! We sailed through everything with ease!! Today…. I want to curl into a ball and cry with the kids. So, I called it a day. Today we sit and do nothing but what they want. Except for that Child #4… I will not do flips on the couch. Oh, hell, yes I will!!
2:33 PM. Did he just say….. wait….

2:40 PM. Sorry, I passed out.
2:50 PM. He said it right? O…..m….. I have to teach these kids for the rest of the year. Do I understand it… yes. Did I agree to this when I decided to have 6 kids…. no….. no I did not. Why… why big family….. why!!!
3:10 PM. The kids watch the Governor update daily with us… child #2 “did he just say Dr. Lee”?!?!?! ….. Me. Not Dr. Lee the pimple popper…. Child #2 “awwww….. can we watch it anyway”??
3:15 PM. It is ok. We will make this work. Which kids are going to live with grandma and grandpa… and which ones are going to live with Nana and Papa…. kidding Dad.
5:35 PM. Our new reality…. as we sit and eat dinner, I look around and see my beautiful, smart, funny, crazy, stubborn, LOUD, amazing children…. and we soooo got this. Mamas might have to crack the whip a little… but we got this.
7:05 PM. Kids in bed and I’m treating myself to a Pepsi. I don’t drink, but put me in front of a Pepsi and watch out!!
Good Night!
