It is funny-funny ironic. I have been sleeping early and sleeping long and hard due to a few factors-mainly my sleepytime extra extra extra but I fricken love it. It works I tell ya. I slept so deep last night, not to mention I had a couple glasses of vino. I woke up this morning to screaming, fighting, three children on vacation and trying to accomodate each one-This is virtually impossible. We go from planning the week and trying to fit something and someone in for each of them. It is exhausting. I think summer is easier because there is more time. Spring vacation, is short and so far so good but now the usual problems are arising ie;boredom, after ten minutes without any stimulation and the anxiety of making it to every amusement park we have passes to. Only if you are a mother would or could you undestand this. By the way, I am so Dr. Seussed out. Everytime I see a name or a rhyme, I think of one of his lines or books. WOuld you, could you, if you could. blah blah blah.

So today I am trying to get through work and then we are going to take a walk, before going swimming at our friend’s house. I need the walk, I missed the gym, and that means cranky MOmmy. Wills just said that he was going to his friend’s house and Jac can’t come. So I said,’Okay I will buy Jac a toy then, and then he said,”OKay baby Jac, you can Come, you brat.” I know that is not a very good parenting technique but I am just so maxed out on the whining, comparing and complaining. We are going to the Desert this weekend, to stay with friends. It is so needed.
So here I am blogging and there is so many things, and emotions that have happened in the last few days, that I am too frazled or bamboozled (ha, my new word-,me and Nick Lachay). So I will do a runthrough and hopefully cause some laughter and some thought provoking information. I am listening to the Beatles right now. When I listen to them, I get very emotional . I know a real shocker but even more so because they remind me of my brothers and my father and how much I love them. I love my sisters dearly but for some reasons, the Beatles remind me of my brothers. I am also choked up more than usual because I have a lot of things going on, I have a lot of friend’s having things going on, I had a phone interview with this extremely talented woman Denise who is a writer. She asked me so many thought provoking questions, during my interview that I had to reflect. I had tears in my eyes, while on the phone interviewing with her, and shopping at Trader Joes, in my pj’s with a tank top and no bra. Obviously I had not planned on the grocery trip. Sometimes I just gotta go with getting something accomplished no matter what I look like. I tell ya one thing it is a sure way to get guys staring at you. I just kind of keep my elbows up in the air in front of them.
One of the things I talked about to Denise, was that the biggest joy in my life would be to succeed to a point so I could show my father and tell him about it. He has always backed me and now that he is 82 and handicapped due to his stroke, he no longer can I can see the joy he gets when he sees my kids, or I sit with him and tell him funny things about them, or successes at work. I hope to God that happens and I can make him feel that he did a good job…..as well as my mother. Anyways that is it for now. Me and “RUbber Soul,” Have got to run. OH and we have my darling, talented, adorable 17 year old niece visiting with us. I love how she can talk to me about everything and how I can hopefully help her to learn from my mistakes-all one million of them. She is shy and insecure but soooooooooo talented. She plays three instruments and writes music. She played the guitar and sang for the kids and I and We all were so impressed and touched. I looked at my three kids sitting around her with the biggest smiles that I have ever seen on their faces. I was listening to Analisse sing about love when she has not even had that kind of love but it made sense. I think and believe she will be a success. American Idol get ready……………and finally Denise also asked me one happy moment in my parenting. I am sure I wrote about this back in OCtober but it was when Jac gave his pumpkin to a little boy who was sulking because his pumpkin was all brown and lopsided. The teacher said to me,”You know what, your son, is a caring, sensitive, kind person so you must be doing something right-all of them are.” That felt really good!
