at the end of the day

at the end of the day here nico is smiling and happy.

and of course there i am looking dreadful and exhausted. i just can't do it i feel lots of times. i often wonder...how do working parents keep their sanity? how do people keep their blinds, bathrooms, floors and rooms clean and tidy? without a mess of mail and other paper sorts on the kitchen counter? how do they have time to put wonderful scrap books together or make beautiful, delicious home cooked meals?

many times, people ask me how do you do it? well, i don't. i don't do it all. i just do the best i can. what i do have down, is getting out of the house with my boys all of them yes. we've gone to the pool, bay and zoo, movies once and errands sometimes too.

and you want to know what? i absolutely hate it when people in publice make the stupid comment "my, you sure have got your hands full!" no freaking kidding. i'd have a couple thousand dollars by now if each one of those lame people gave me a $1 for each time it has been said. so next time you see me around town, try something better like "it won't always be this hard, or you're doubly blessed. " alright out for now. time to hit the books and get ready for another day of students and then my own troop at home.
