That pretty much sums up my bunch the last week.
The sick one- Wyatt. He caught the awful flu that everyones had and pretty much has slept for 5 days.
The weird one- Violet. She continues to frustrate and bewilder us with her personality.
The awful one- Scarlet. You've never seen more determination. She had me nearly in tears (a serious feat) last week in a Hallmark store.
Who's idea was this? Having kids? This is no good. There is no rest. There cant even have good coffee without getting it dumped on your favorite book or your Ektorp sofa from IKEA.
How on earth will I stay sane? I wont. I will continue to lose it on a daily basis on then crumble in despair at my poor parenting.
The good thing is- the kids will continue to say they're sorry. Or in Scarlets case, she'll say, "'K, mommy, k?" And thats the good part. Why do they keep loving me? I don't even get them fully clothed every day and yet they dont hate me for some reason.
And despite their eccentricities, I can't stop being addicted to their little (dirty) faces. And I guess I can deal with the fact that when we go places people regard them as monsters. This is one area where my people pleasing doesn't fully apply. (possibly the only area)
