I am at home cleaning today. I did a lot of work on top of taking care of the boys yesterday, and I just wanted to take today to relax, but nope, I am taking care of the boys again and cleaning, and doing laundry while hubby is sleeping.. The dude has vacation this week, and I am working hard 7 days a week.. What is even more sad is that we are not going to see the fire works because hubby thinks that it will scare the kids to much.. Now that really sucks!
So, anyone else home cleaning and taking care of the kids today?
WAHM of 2 cute and adorable boys! :)

i got up really early this morning and cleaned the whole house bc im bbqing this evening.
hubbys napping. im gettin him up in a few hrs.
and if u wanna see fireworks take the kiddos by yourself, you dont know if theyre gonna b scared till ur try!!
hubby got back this morning. he has been gone for a week. he is sleeping right now too ( but its okay...he needs to be ...he doesnt get to slep much with his work... ) so i have been cleaning here and there and playing with my son. when he wakes up we are gonna go to the store and see if there are any fireworks left and get what we can and then we are gonna watch the big ones the city is doing. my son is so excited his daddy is home and he gets to see fireworks..... my hubby is on leave right now too... vacation whatever you wanna call it.... because im having a baby this week.... lol...family is coming thursday, ill be getting my sleep then while they are here to help :)
i would get your kids some of the silent pretty fireworks and do them at your house... i bet they really wouldnt be scared of them ( some kids are tho ) but the silent ones i bet they would be amazed watching them....and i bet even your hubby would enjoy seenig their eyes light up. ( and being a big kid himself lighting them for the kids...lol )

I'm home today - but I live in Canada. SO is working his usual Saturday shift (off at 7pm) and I am doing my usual Saturday housework. I work my final night shift at work tonight and then start working 5:45pm to 2am. Happy 4th!![]()

Yes, I am at home cleaning today. Actually I have been doing this since Wednesday. My oldest has a throat virus and therefore we have not been able to go play like we usually do. I have a ton of stuff to donate to the Salvation Army now and hubby is happy because the house is rather nice but I am sooooooooooo tired of being cooped up inside instead of being at the pool! Luckily, my oldest is, as we speak, fighting with the youngest so mshe must be feeling better! YAY!
I am home , we have been cleaning , washing , scrubbing , doing wash and caring for the pets all day. My S/O has to get up to get ready for work in about a half hour, hes been sleeping all day. Me and my daughter will be home alone tonight with the dogs.
yep cleaning n talking to you guys! lol, so dont get off till 9;30 n went in at 8;00 am, works too much. guess i had my bbq last week, which still wasnt fun,,,,, people were so bbllaahh!
Same over here! My husband had the morning off but decided to sleep in till around 10 or so. And then just was lazy for the rest of the time home. Just left about 2 hours ago and I've been cleaning and packing all day w/ no end in sight that's for sure! We're moving Thursday into the new house so there's a lot to do before then!
Girl I clean EVERYDAY! Considering my 3 sons, 3 dogs, 1 dh, 1 brother, 1 SIL and my neice all live here. I am always cleaning. DAMN!
the 4th sucks for us anyways. One of us always has to stay home with my older dog. She had a firework thrown at her as a pup and freaks the hell out on the 4th.
We took our 3 year old last year. He was 2 then. He has autism. He was scared and cried the whole time. But it may be better this year, but hubby seems to think different. I am not even sure how our 1 year old would handdle it either, but it would be worth a try, but hubby does not want to have to come home after we get there..

I cleaned this morning..just my usual upkeep :) If I dont do it everyday, it gets overwhelming!
I'm Ashley, a 27 year old, stay at home mommy of a private schooled 1st grader, non spanked 3 year old, extended rear facing 15 month old, and married to a softball playing husband. They are all boys and they are the loves of my life. I love to clean, cook, shop and get pedicures. I am *the* princess in my house :) Why do I rear face my toddler? Because autopsy reports have shown that children under 2 years old are at 4 times the risk of Internal Decapitation when forward facing.
