A Fever...

Said at the dinner table....


The little girl to her brothers - I have a fever... so does Jamie.


The oldest boy (12 years old) -- I have a fever too!


Jamie -- You do not - do you?


Him -- Yeah, a fever 'cause I'm so HOT!

Out of the mouth of Babes....

Today while me and the kids were watching Little Rascals.... we came upon a scene where the little boy - Alfalfa and the little girl - Darla kissed.  This is what was said among the children...


All the boys first booooooed.....


Then the only girl said to me....


"Jamie, do you think they really kissed or was it special effects??"


"Ab, they really kissed, they are actors."


"You mean those kids would kiss??!?!  Do you think they got paid to do it?"


"Yep, of course... probably lots of money to be in the movie."


"Yeah, they'd have to pay me A LOT to do something like that... like $50.00!!"



I think she'll be changing her tune in a few years....

Kids....

I swear to you, dear internet, I will NEVER have more than 4 kids.... and even 4 might be a little excessive.... I swear to you, dear internet, I will never have kids... well.... maybe only one.


Doing this mom thing is a hard job, I seem to have forgotten.  I love the kids but - ITS HARD!  Today for example:


7:00 Get to work

7:25 1 child leaves

8:15 next 3 children leave

8:15-1:00 laundry, dishes, cleaning, entertaining (the last child), lunch, cooking, planning a wedding, and errands.

1:00 last child leaves

2:00 1st child gets home (early out day - curse those school administrations for wanting to give the teachers a break!)

2:30 next 3 children get home

3:00 last child gets home

3:00-4:00 friends over -- "mom said!"

4:00 Church Activity

4:15 Scouts

4:15-5:00 Dinner - prep and eat

5:45 Gymnastics

6:30 Young Mens


I'm tired just from reading it.....  So I say again... no children... watching them - all 5 - is great birth control....
