Ever have one of those days that starts out with a toddler throwing a temper tantrum in you bed at 2am?  I did, today.  After I got her back to bed, i had to put the baby back to sleep too.  Then my husband was up for work at 6am.   I am so tired that my kids have been eating toast, dry cereal and pick nick leftovers from sat.  (carrot sticks, grapes, yogurt, crackers, etc...) all day.  I have tried setting them down for a movie so I could sneak in a nap, but then the baby is grumpy, or hungry, and not sleepy.  There just is no way to catch a break.  It may be because my six year old starts first grade in 2 days that makes me feel so restless.  But it really is amazing how much of a mess 2 little girls can make of a house when their mommy is too wiped out to even pretend to keep up.  Oh, the sound of little girls screaming, will it really ever end?  Then I call my mother who had 10 children and is now in empty nest mode.  She reminded me to enjoy what I can of this faze because it is so fleeting.  Some days that is really hard to imagine, but I am laying here trying!
