A Day in the Life of a Stay at home mom...and adventure to say the least

[lilmomma02]

Everybody seems to believe that after we put the kids on the bus our day ends.  Well im here to tell you that is only the beginning.  My average day starts at 6 am when the alarm goes off telling me yes though u woke up at 1 am because the scary clown was after your daughter , and though at 3 your son decided the bed was a toilet those where all dry runs for the real time which is now to get up.  I roll over and grab the phone to call a friend who has an alarm just like mine but decides that its a joke and doesnt get up. After he gets my call he decides yet again he will go to work and i hang up a precede to roll out the bed and talk to God a bit.  This is a normal thing between me and God I ask him what it is needs from me today and he precedes to tell me you will see just be ready.  I head in to the bathroom brush my teethe wash my face and get out lil people toothe brushes and wash clothes. Why do i call them lil people because there old people in disguise everyday they wake up complaining there back and heads hurt. The aches in there bodys as if laboring all day in first and second grade takes a toll on them.  AS i head into the kitchen i usually run into my father who at 54 never remembers to take his pill until the moment it comes out of my mouth.  I set up the lil peoples breakfast and prepare for chaos as i go into the rooms and great them on the start of their new day.

  As they slowly sluggishly ease to the table and complain about what ever it is on it. I go about setting there clothes out for them to wear and head back to the kitchen to break up what is about to be The RUMBLE IN THE JUNGLE..over a napkin cup or fork.  At time I reflect on my life BM ( Before Motherhood) but quickly awaken when being asked by my six year old why is it they he has to wear a tshirt everyday. As they go about there morning activities i take the time to logg into school and check on grade homework assignments and emails. Where my professor insist on talking to me as if im twelve and have no common sense what so ever.  By this time this a lil person breathing on my neck asking me phineous and ferb style whatchaaa doinnnnn mommy.  And i realize that the bus really should run alittle earlier.  After i get them into the car fighting about coats lunchboxs and whos turn it is to sit on the right side of the car. I get to the bus stop where my children who two seconds ago heads where spinning on ther neck turn into sweet innocent angels and float to the bus stops as mothers oohhh and ahhh about how cute they are.  Where is the bus already.  Once there on the bus i sigh a breath of relief and get ready for todays activities now on a normal day i may cut the grass iron all the clothes and clean the house (which i  have decided is mine and my parents just live here). Today im going to get on the computer and check on the many people who have decided life is dull and try to brighten there day.  My phone rings wit a one of many prayer request or complaint.  Then its off to the park to walk wit a sister im mentoring who never ceases to amaze me with the things that come out of her mouth.  By this time my boyfriend has joined the land of the living as he fights wit his two year old to do what i did hours ago.  he ask how my day is going though he knows good and well its not done.  After making him feel like he is the Greatest Man on Earth. I continue to walk wit my sister and calm her nerves about life. By the time i get home its almost time for the lil people to come home so i get snack ready and set channels to the cartoon network.  By the time i get to the bus stop all the mothers seem to look like there walking a green mile yet again for another day. As the two greatest achievements of my life run up to me and say where hungry what are we eating today. (nope no terms of enderment from these two ladies).  Then its homework or i dont want to do homework its to hard i want to play.  Followed by this dinner looks yucky can we order pizza.  Then they retreat to there cave better known as the basement not to be bothered again until the need something. While i prepare dinner for the parents. The phone rings as friends check in for the day saying how terriable life is and why cant anything every work for them.  And my parents start arriving wondering if i have spent the whole day on the phone and did i accouplish anything at all today.  when am i going to get a job and how can i stand to be at home all day doing nothing.  By the time the kids go to bed i retreat to my hideaway (my room ) and sigh as quiet comes over the house and i prepare for the next adventure. Then the phone rings.........
