Really????

I worked 14 1/2 hours yesterday and got home at 2:45 this morning. Walked in the front door and there was Colleen sleeping on the couch, Katy, Alex and Lizzy on the sofa bed and of course Lena was in her crib! They looked so peaceful! Colleen's friend Lori was sick so she took the kids of her hands to recoup. I thought, how cool is my wife?!? So, I woke up this morning to the sound of world war 3, in my living room! Kids were screaming, throwing random stuff at random walls and somehow, they were hitting the ceiling that sits UNDER my bed!(still cant figure that one out!) I got up, went downstairs, and it was louder than I expected! At first glance, it looked like 20 kids or so were here. Unfortunately, I missed the "morning feeding", but I did manage to step on some cheerio's, Lego's and a few pillow and blankets. Alas, time for some morning "me" time! HaHaHa I got hit more times than I can count, HI UNCLE JEFF, HI DADDY, DJDTBHEDDZG(Lena said this!) WOW! I instantly had more respect for people with more kids than myself! To make all matters worse, the sugar bowl is missing! Really???? The morning has gone okay, no ER visits, annnnnd...it's lunch time! On the menu...whatever the hell the want, as long as they have food in their faces and are quiet for at least 10 minutes! Ravioli, Macaroni & Cheese and Corn Dogs...YAY! Katy got 2 tablespoons of mustard on her face and got mad when I wiped it off, Alex ate his mac n cheese like it was his last meal (i swear he just put his face over the bowl, took a deep breath, and it was gone!), I am pretty sure that Lizzy wanted Filet Mignon and Lima beans, but she was too polite to ask, and Lena painter her hair with everything on her high chair tray. She looked like on e of those mud-people of the Amazon from Discovery channel! Lunch is over and Lena gets a sink bath then goes down for a quiet nap! SOUNDS good, huh? I am hiding in the garage right now, and Katy just found me! Damn, respite over, have a great day people!
