My not so little family make my day! I am surrounded by boys... what can I say? This household is nothing but fun and chaotic!!! My husband toils daily for bacon and bread, insert diapers and milk too LOL! I have the luxury of being with the kids at home. Am I crazy for saying "luxury"? Perhaps I am. Let's just say that I am grateful that this is my role in this family. I am woman, wife, mom, and friend to all of them.
Our weekday grind starts with the two little milk critters crying. Mostly it's the little one that wakes up way before our alarm goes off. Most days, my husband indulges me to sleep a little and he take care of the two. Then I'd wake up to take care of the biggest boy before he goes to school. I prepare breakfast and packed lunch for him and my husband. All these commotion while the two babies are lulled back to sleep after their first round of milk.
When the biggest boy goes to school, I either nap when they nap or I become this headless chicken doing one million things at the same time (in my head). I blink and it's time for me to fetch my eldest from the school bus stop. Then it's snacks time, homework, play, bath, dinner, clean up, reading, prayer, and the bed time. The kids are usually fed before their Dad gets home. This way, they can just play while I catch up with husband. Down time is spent with both of us talking or watching something together. Other nights it is spent apart, one computer on each lap hehehe!
Weekends are spent with church, chores, errands, or taking the kids to play outside be it at the museums, playground, mall, playdates, and whatnots. Oftentimes, my husband and I would go out on a date without the kids. On days when we don't go out, the kids play a lot with their Dad and I try to catch up on whatever it is (mostly I just sleep).
My young family is a testament to God's grace. I am grateful that He entrusted me with this responsibility. I will try to become the mother and wife these boys deserve. And despite my being, these boys put up with me. So what can I say? =P
