GOD BLESS THE AMERICAN HOUSEWIFE!!!

This picture is Alicia and her sister Bethany and all the kids.... We went for a week, the weather was beautiful. Our days consist of constant running. As we sat down one night it amazed us as mom's all that we did. Wake up, get everyone dressed, feed them breakfast, all the kids say is ~"mommie" we play, "mommie" we read, "he hit me" we color,"she is taking my toy" we watch a movie,"i'm hungry" LUNCH TIME!.. cook, (convince the kids to eat what you made) wash hands, clean kitchen part way till kids want attention..."mommie", "she hit me" "hey that is mine", o.k. kids NAP TIME! (then the next 1hr is spent trying to get all 3 kids to sleep), Give up and just let the kids play! Snack time..."no mommie I want fruit snacks not a bannana", clean up living room for the 2nd time. Outside time... "hey that is my bike", "mommie, mommie" dinner time... shoot who has time to cook... GO GET PIZZA! All the kids love pizza! Bath time... SPLASH SPLASH SPLASH! Wash kids, dry kids, PJ time. Clean up living room for the 3rd time, crayons, bathroom and now time to read books. Prayer time... thank the lord we ALL survived a fun filled active no nap day! Ahhhhh kids are in bed "mommie I have to go potty", finally quiet time... but wait my days isn't over. Finish cleaning the kitchen folding the laundry and oh now I can take a shower. "God bless the american house wife" hats off to all of you amazing woman and mothers!!

I love this, Alicia. I can totally relate to the busy on the go feeling. How was your trip to North Carolina? I have been thinking of you all day and wondering how last night went. I will call you soon to touch base and hear about everything. Love you so,
Joy
