Oh, God... When Does School Start?

I'm calling my OB/GYN tomorrow.
The reason? I'm convinced there's a couple of umbilical cords still hanging out of my vagina. Seriously, for the entire summer my kids have been connected to me. In fact, as I write this at 10:20 p.m. both my children are sitting on the couch with me watching The Daily Show.
Don't tell me a 5-year-old is even remotely interested in Rob Riggle or Jon Stewart. No. She just can't stand to be more than 2 feet away from me. The same thing is going on with my 10-year-old.
No, really... I'm going nuts. I love my kids, but the only "alone" time I get lately is from midnight to 6 a.m. And let's face it... I gotta sleep sometime. I'm exhausted.
They're always here. They're always within a few feet of me. I can't have a private conversation on the phone or with an adult anymore. When I go to the bathroom or take a shower I lock the door for privacy only to hear the constant knocking and, "Mom! Let me in there! I need to tell you something!"
No, you don't. Go get a can of spray paint and graffiti something.
Maybe I can have coffee in peace.

Hahaha, I totally could have written this! I threatened to drown them in the toilet today if they don't quit bugging me in the bathroom.
At least yours aren't chasing you around yelling "I want Boobie!" Yes, that is Gabe's new word. He still isn't weaned --- he loves the boobies. Last night when I was getting undressed for bed, he saw my boobs, and the child laughed, reached up and said "Boobies!!!" How do you wean a child who LOVES the boobies?
Seriously though, I was hoping that kids would be past that by 5 & 10. I was looking forward to one day getting to use the bathroom by myself.
I right there with you baby. And I'm homeschooling mine, so I can tell you that they never get sick of you, even when you are having them do math worksheets. Plus, I have the neighborhood kids too! They LOOOOVE me; they're here every day. I bodily throw my kids in bed at 7:00pm just so I can have a few hours of down time.
Oh, boy, do I feel ya, Mon. . The attachment is wonderful and totally crazymaking. Thank God Laurel goes back in two weeks.
I have finally gotten to the point where I have to physically push mine away so that I can catch a breath. They are monsters all over me. Bennett starts kindergarten tomorrow and I am super sad to see him go, but I am relieved for a little down time. Raynie starts preschool next Tues and I am SO counting down the days!!

You should homeschool- then they would get tired of you and leave you alone. ;)
