And it's only Wednesday....

Sometimes this stay-at-home mom gig I have gets tough. For instance, it's only Wednesday and I have already been peed on one and a half times (Pampers Baby Dry is failing to keep my baby dry), got thrown up on once (Lana will probably never chug juice again), cleaned up dog throw up (Diogy was almost thrown out on the street for that one), almost killed Landen's two pet mice by dropping their cage (yikes did Landen give me a lecture on being careful after that), and bumped my head about four times at the park chasing my toddler around the jungle gym intended for much bigger children that her (but smaller than me according to the sore spot on my head) making sure she doesn't plummet to the ground trying to be a big girl. And it's only Wednesday!!

I actually called Neil today and asked him to trade places with me for today...I'll go to work and he can stay home. But he had to switch at that exact second (mind you I was still wiping my leg down with baby wipes to get the throw up smell off).

But then I thought that this week we also did some fun shopping, went to the park on a beautiful afternoon, I watched the kids finger paint pictures for their dad in the yard, I pushed my baby girl on the big girl swings and heard her belly laugh, I pushed Landen on the big boy swings higher than he's ever gone before (while I constantly reminded him to hang on tight) and then watched him make new friends, I bought 200 childrens' books from a teacher for $50 and have been reading a ton to my two little ones who can't get enough story time, I played hide and seek with the kids, I picked mulberries from our yard and watched my children happily eat them until their faces were purple and messy, I've gotten tons of real kisses from Landen AND Lana (yay for no more big open mouth messy smooches from our tiny tot), and I've laughed until my sides hurt. And it's only Wednesday!

Go on...be jealous. These children are mine and I get to spend all day with them! Sometimes it gets messy around here but it's worth it all of the time!
