OK, today is Saturday and I haven't been out of the house since Monday. That's right, Monday. All week I've been taking care of whinny sick children who like to argue with one another and see what little possible they can do around the house; except for making a mess every where.

Tonight, to keep sanity, I played an White Stripe marathon on the juke box and put the kids to bed around seven and  finally I had peace, peace, peace. My husband came home at eight from work with a bottle of wine, a movie and chap-stick (he lost mine earlier this week).

He took off with a long time friend who happens to be in town and left me all alone with the wine and movie.  Bless him, bless him, bless him.

Wine, a movie and chap stick? There's a really good off color joke in there, but I'm not going to be the one........

You lucky dog you! I love a cabernet, an artichoke and solitude. The three go great together!

Hope you enjoyed the wine and the peace and quiet!! LOL about the chapstick and wine and movie... Bad mental image or thoughts there! :)
Amanda C. Jan 5, 2008, 8:51pm EST
Ha ha , I know... I wanted to see who would come up with some sort of connection there. But actually, that's what he brought home, ha ha

I have an idea. A mother who is a full time mother has the hardest job in the universe. You deserve a break. Hire a babysitter that you trust at least once a week.
Ellie !. Jan 6, 2008, 1:06am EST
When you are a full time mother, you work 24 hours a day. When you work outside the home, at least 8 hours a day, you can eat and pee when you need/want.
Ellie !. Jan 6, 2008, 1:07am EST
I found part time was the best.
Amanda C. Jan 7, 2008, 8:28am EST
Thanks, Ellie, for the advise. I'm actually thinking of doing that very thing.
karen p. Jan 7, 2008, 9:23pm EST
i noticed we are the same age.
karen p. Jan 7, 2008, 9:25pm EST
i've always wanted to ask someone my age a question that would be honest about it.
karen p. Jan 7, 2008, 9:26pm EST
do you ever feel like you're still 17 but then look at someone your age and think, oh man :( i'm 29?
karen p. Jan 7, 2008, 9:27pm EST
or do you ever catch yourself being silly or in a spunky mood then think "maybe i should act my age"
karen p. Jan 7, 2008, 9:30pm EST
Sometimes i get a scared feeling because i am a wife, a mom, and a daycare director and think when did that happen? am i smart enough to be all that?thank God for His mercy. i don't think i deserve all that He's blessed me with.

Hope it was wonderful! 10!
