Exhausted Mama of 4 kids, and several pets

Wake up. "Get up! You can do this!!"

Christian's ready.

Get Sam ready.

Drive Sam to school... "Tuck and roll!"

"Coffee! STONG Coffee!!!"

Drop Christian... "Make good choices!"

Tug of war w/ M*... Negotiations, some classes ensure.

Make dinner if not in the crockpot.

Soccer!!!

Then, "Hi hon... let me update you."

Nope, we've been interrupted.

Dinner, "hurry, eat, or you're going to bed!"

Bed for Emma.

"Hello, love, let me update you."

Nope, we've been interrupted, again.

Bed for Sam.

Ahh, alone time... "let me update you!"

Crap, now the big kids want to...

Vent/talk/ laugh. "Hey, dad wanna play video games with me, after I've helped them with the homework I couldn't do earlier because Sam and Emma were bugging me?"

Cat and Maddy's bedtime... " I can't find the cat.. will you help me look for it?"

Later I will need to open my bedroom door at ?? 4 am because the cat's finished lightly clawing at my daughter's face for attention MEOOOW... MEOW! "I will wake everyone else up if you don't let me OOOUT" I now hate this cat.

Thank God Christian is independently on his own and takes off for school.

9th Grade is a B*!! Good luck child of mine!

4 am...Emma's rolling around knotting up my hair. "Binky, Binky!"

Crap! I can't find the her frigin pacifier!!

I kick Sam in the face while trying to ninja out of bed, who's lying horizontally as he's sleep battling lego ninjas. I try to comfort him, telling him it's just a dream, and I'm here. An appreciative response, "I HATE YOU!"
