9:32 AM. Came to the realization that my house smells like baby poop. Went outside to grab something from my car and the moment I stepped back inside, a brick wall of poop hit me in the face.
9:49 AM. Lit candles and took garbage out. Walked outside and inside again to check the smell. Better, but not great. Light more candles. Go outside, then inside again. Child #1 asked me if I was ok or needed to sit down.
10:58 AM. Pushed the kids out the door. Way too beautiful to be inside.
11:17 AM. Child #2 comes in crying… “its too hot”….. WHAT?!?!?!?!
11:32 AM. Child 2 & 3 come out of their bedroom with swimsuits, beach towels, umbrellas and sun glasses. Child #3 “we’re just going to put on the sprinkler and catch some rays”. No, really…. what have I raised!?!?!?!
12:18 PM. Child #4 “mom…..MOM….. have you seen this?” Pointing to girls outside doing their thing… me: I know bud. Remember when I told you girls like to do diff things…. child #4 “well that’s different all right”.
1:32 PM. Having a tough conversation with child #4. Who has been ready for baseball season for months now… bud…. don’t think baseball will happen this year. Child #4 “I’m so sick of this virus”. I get it bud. But we can play in the yard as much and as often as we want. Child #4 “will you promise to pitch to me so I can hit home runs”? Me… you got it. Child #4 (who is one of the most competitive kids ever) under his breath “sweet, I can beat mom all the time”. Well.played.
2:27 PM. Child #2 “Mom, I have no shorts that fit”. Me…. look in drawers. Well shoot. Let’s do some online shopping…
3:45 PM. Child #3, while shopping online with me (in the sale/clearance section)… “Can we get back to getting nice stuff, like dresses and skirts.” But really…. what did I raise???
4:39 PM. Child #4 has discovered a new game on his tablet. Fruit Blast. Similar to Candy Crush. He said “no wonder Mommy (Kim) ignores us when she is playing this game. It makes my mind blank”…
6:21 PM. Girls made a “fancy” dinner. Their favorite, shrimp and noodles. Child #4 had his favorite peanut butter and jelly with a side of hot dogs. Everyone seems content for the night.
6:25 PM. Oh great, child number 3 threw child #4s beyblade…. WW3 erupts. Wonderful, children 1 & 2 have decided to join… just for shits and giggles apparently. I love how my kids share everything. Love, fights, crazy….
6:58 PM. Calm. Kids are getting ready for bed, and moms are getting ready for quiet time.
Good Night!!
