You know those ladies who tell you that after the third child you don't even notice when more come along? They LIE! Lie, lie, lie!!!
I was so exhausted Monday morning I though I was going to die.
The little one fell and did a faceplant on the Lego box. Put her tooth through her bottom lip. I freaked. She bled. Other kids shrieked. Her foster mother was fine with it. Couldn't even see the puncture. I called the girls' SW, my SW and the nurse hotline from my insurance. I kept thinking, Ok this is the end, they'll never let us keep the girls.
Nobody has called to yell at me.
Did I tell you DH took my truck to the bank and someone hit and run it? Yep, just got the estimate- $3100.00 for a new mirror and fixing the paint all the way down the driver's side of the truck. Thank goodness for insurance I guess.
My parents came over unannounced to inspect the new addition to the house. The girls were very friendly to them. My Dad couldn't hear one word they said, I think he needs hearing aides. My Mom politely said hello and then turned to me and said:
"DH told me you were bringing home two girls but you never did." and then walked away. OOOkaaaay............
Did I not tell her?
I spent most of the day with Mom, trying to fix the disaster they made of the bond situation on the third unit of their subdivision. Yes, I know the real estate market is in the toilet now. Yes, I tried to get my father to do the last two units at once while the market was good. No, our county is horrid and will not give us an extension. Please keep me in your thoughts as I thought I was through with real estate and it was the cause of MANY gray hairs that now give me very "sparkly highlights". I have three weeks to fix this problem when the money lenders are totally freaked out and running scared. I had everything set up last year at this time. All my parents had to do was sign some papers.............
I got a call from a friend who wants to know if I want the night shift working at the local casino. Huh? Do I not look busy enough?
I am not even going to talk about the school auction.
Don't forget that Valentine's is coming up. Is it really imperative to get your husband anything else besides a card?

It is really strange! For some reason adding #5 to the household has REALLY made a difference! I didn't figure it would be that different! But I can't keep food in the house, or keep up with the laundry... Wow... And, the weird thing is - it really doesn't seem like HE is eating that much or dirtying clothes... It was just the proverbial straw, I guess.
I think the more kids you just don't notice theory depends on sooo many things. Ages, dispositions, etc. I don't fully subscibe to it, either, but had a few foster families I worked with that had a home like a well oiled maching with more kids...
Tell DH his gift is not taking that night shift at the casino (0:
You buy your husband a card? You're good!
