glimpses of my morning/my life/my family

just a few of the things yelled, announced, overheard,and screamed THIS MORNING. all before 9:00 am.

begin a play by play -

overheard while laying in bed

from the kitchen-

Peyton to Paxton:IDIOT! YOU ARE AN IDIOT!

~~Lance in the kitchen now~~

Lance to Peyton:IF i hear that again, you are getting your mouth washed out with lots of soap. DON'T DO THAT!

~from the front room while i checked my email and did hair in the kitchen~

Joy heard singing in the front room: K.I.S.S.I.N.G.

Paxton(whining at my elbow): MOM! Peyton is throwing candy at me.

Paxton(reporting others misdeeds/whining):MOM Joy is throwing candy pumpkins at Peyton.

Paxton (tattling to me again) :Joy is going to break something with that candy!

Peyton to Joy {while dancing around in front of her taunting}: Toro toro you Missed me Sucka!

me (yelled through the house): YOU Guys! are you ready for school yet? HURRY UP!

Liberty to no one in particular: i'm dressed! {in a neener neener tone triumphantly} da da da da duh da{singing about the wonder}

me(yelled through the house): LANCE , LAAAAAAAAANNNNNCE!

Paxton to me: he's in the office! on a call!

me: OH crap! (knowing everyone would be late since he wasn't in here helping make lunches, and put shoes on while i did hair)

Paxton to me: I need help with my shoes

Paxton announcing to the rest of the kids: mom is typing everything you are saying

Joy to me (After getting in trouble for not getting dressed and dancing around): I HATE YOU!

~While doing Liberty's hair~

Liberty to me: that comb is pokey! OW!

Liberty:my head is itchy,it's too tight! (as she is scratching at the little hairs pulled tight at the base of her neck while whining at me like she does every day)

as lance comes back in from the office to join the morning rush!~

Lance: HURRY UP!

Lance: YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO BE LATE!

~as they are running out the door~

Me:bye , love you!

~as soon as everyone has left~

Hope: i'm tired

Hope:I'm hungry

ME: what do you want to eat?

Hope: strawberries with sugar

Me: how many? (as i'm hulling and washing them for her)

Hope: SIX! that's alot

Hope in the bathtub later

Hope: I'm a mermaid.(laying on her tummy with her feet stretched out behind her, and her feet together pointed)

Me:what do mermaids do?

Hope: they lay on the rocks , and swim

Me:great ok time to get out. (as i shut off the water)

Hope: no i'm a mermaid

Hope: mermaids need alot of water! {whiny voice}

so i turned the water back on.

~overheard from the tub while i was entertaining myself picking zits, or imaginary zits~

Hope talking to her rubber ducks (in Hope's tiny pretending voice). one green and one pink-

green duck: i'm a boy

Pink duck:i'm a girl

hope talking for the ducks to eachother: we look alike , we are twins.

Hope to me:i'm cold i want to get out(still laying in the tub)

Me:ingnoring her still picking

Hope: I'm cold, i want to get out

Me to hope: stand up when you are ready to get out

Hope:still laying in the bathtub.

~~5 more minutes pass~~

Hope: I'm cold

Me:let's find something cute to wear

hope:but i'm TOO TIRED

Me: ok here is your dress

Hope: yay that's my favewit one! it's so pwetty! I love it!

Hope: i love you mama!

Hope: you're the best mama!

Hope:i LOVE Dora! it's on downstairs on Tivo. Tivo is So funny!

so , that's kinda what my house sounds like. every day. this or something like it.

glimpses. from name calling idiots to declarations of hate and love. it's my reality. maybe someday I'll look back when my house is quiet, and the kids are independent and gone. and I'll miss this.

it is pretty great. sometimes.

and sometimes i have to chuckle at the stuff they come up with.

and then others i think holy crap! how am i going to survive this?

it is never ending, always changing and often entertaining.

it's what makes me a crazymama
