I went out to get dinner just now. I usually do not eat but once a day when the family is gone. I just work straight on through until it is done. Weird.
But with my freak sleep last night I have been dragging all day and realize I may just have to go to bed early though that will be a death wish as I'd wake up in 2-3 hours and be up again all night. Weird.
Anyway, I go out (to spend LESS than 6 bucks at the local drive through) Those of us with multiples knows how weird that is!
So I go out and it is a BEAUTIFUL night. I mean one of those really great nights. A little balmy, a little sultry, GREAT date night...not too hot, good for a stroll with your honey OR my thought- the park with the kids! But I don't have any children! Weird.
Jeff called and was walking the baby in the stroller and asked if I wanted to speak to her but I couldn't. I knew it would make me cry. Not so weird. Anyone who knows me at all knows anything can make me cry. I can see myself crying in church tomorrow likely out of sheer relief of hearing God's Word again....or singing in the Sanctuary. But anything can make cry. M showing up on my doorstep. Your kids in a play. Cheesy endings that I'd rather throw up then cry at. Weird.
ANd now finally, when I should be thinking BED...I am feeling better and thinking about working again. I can't wait for tomorrow to come.Do you ever feel that way? Just WAITING for the next day to come so this day can be over. This was one of those days. Weird.
I am not one of those mothers that needs a break. From my kids I mean. Nope, I'm just not. I enjoy my kids all the time. I don't know why this is though I imagine it is because I have trained them not to make me crazy. So they don't. Usually. Lol
But I don't need a break. Weird.
I'm out of things to say....say it with me now....WEIRD!

Weird...
That's great that you never need a break from your kids. I wish I could say the same. I love them dearly but sometimes I just crave uninterrupted quiet.
Neppers, you sound half crazed and delirious. I like it! Perhaps you should call your sister-in-law, you know, the one you forgot to mention in your fabulous people list. I need a break. A BIG. FAT. HONKIN. break!!!!!!!!
It comes quickly enough.
Well, sometimes I just like to slip out to Walmart by myself..I guess you could consider that a break! Tif- I have always liked a quiet home so I think I trained them that if I say QUIET, they just get QUIET. Not that we never scream around the place..you know, you've seen the videos, we are a wild bunch of mamas over here. But generally if I say shhhhhh, they know Mom means it. I have a sensitivity to too much multiple noise...too many people talking at once, two electronic devices running, someone talking and radio on in car. That distresses me. Plus the girls were born further apart in age so it was easier to train them individually. Most of you have it harder as they are closer together.
Cheryl- that is the saddest thing you have ever written! (Chewhi has three nearly grown kids! 3 young teens!)
