I've just finished doing The March of the Late Night Mom! What's that you ask, a new fangled dance, that only a mind as crazy as mine could think up. NO, it's not. You all know exactly what it is. When all the kids are tucked in tight, the mom (me in this case), tries to catch up all the things she couldn't do while the kids were running wild. Dishes are now running in the dish washer, shin guards have found there place in the sport box, cat is fed and watered, doggie is in his kennel, dirty clothes are in hamper, clean clothes are hung, toys are put away, lights out, doors locked, goodnight! It wasn't that long ago that from 8-10 was Mommys TV time, what happened to that? I guess I'll never know. Oh crud, 6 didn't do her homework!!!

The March of the Late Night Mom?
Oh how well I know that one! Only I wait until even Will is asleep. He snores on the couch with the tv on, while i rush to finisht aht little bit of dishes or pick up the last bit of toys. (usually the few small ones Rhayn missed when we did her "before bed pick-up" she is pretty good at it by now!)
I can't imagine what it will be like adding that second child AND school! AHHH!!!

Oh, and I remember my mom saying you came out mooning. that is why your name ryhmes with FANNY...? Hopefully this kiddo turns...

Mom's TV time? What's that?? But we definately all do the March of the Late Night Mom. I think that's just a required part of motherhood. Those nights when you get through it and know that everyone's homework is done, all papers are signed, lunches are packed, and you didn't forget anything. That's heaven. Then you wake up and it's another day.

I love the hats. Where did you get them?

Hey girl - pretty sad I haven't seen you in a year. Can't believe how big Kynzie is getting. Guess I had an advantage when B & V were kids cause UJ worked straight swing shift and never got home until around 3:00 a.m. I could stay up late as I wanted to catch up on all the house stuff.
