Please believe me when I say that I love my kids whole-heartedly. They are the apple bunch of my eye and my whole world. I would die for them or kill for them if need be. 

They are all three smart, cute (I know that I am somewhat biased), funny when they want to be and all have the biggest hearts in the world for others.

But thank you, God Almighty! As of yesterday, the older two of the three went back to school yesterday.

For over two weeks it was fighting, tattling, and having a messy home no matter how much I tried to keep up. But the best part of all? I went through more milk, cheese, bread and cereal with everyone together for seventeen days than I normally go through in ONE MONTH!

It is honestly true. The old curse that has been passed through the parenting ages really does work.

Whatever hell we had put our parents through when we were children, comes back to haunt us when we have ours. It starts to creep in to your life when they are around two years old. Then, as the kids age, the curse gets more intense.

Suddenly, you see yourself in your kids. Next thing you know, you go in to hiding because you have realized...

That you have officially become your parents!! And you really learn as to why one or even the both of them started to go grey earlier in life than the average person with "Angelic children".

Plus, your face looks like a road map by the time you hit forty, thanks to the kids making you frown and from getting the "mean face" look because you once again tried to land in the hospital after trying some crazy stunt.

Yep, it is so much fun being a parent!

Hey, I color mine to! Believe me, I have more grey than most would think. When the roots start to show, it is scary.

Years ago on vacation I bought my parents a pillow.  I thought it was hysterical at the time.  A nice royal blue pillow with gold stitching that said "Having Children is like being pecked to death by ducks".  I laughed and laughed.  Now I'm the one being pecked to death....
