Well, here we go


I am not a fancy writer, or a great speaker, but I will tell you what I am good at or at least try to be, is Mommy. I am a proud Mother of 6 beautiful children. That's right 6! Elizabeth who is 9, Nathan 7, Victoria 6, Preaston 3, Giavanna 1 and our little one Ashton Luke who is one month old. Wow...........I got to make sure I didn't leave any one out. Ok I am all good. ;) Well Mommy Hood is HARD work lack of sleep, crying babies, morning rush, constant diaper change ( am I ever going to get out of that stage) bottles (beleive it or not we have a bottle search teams), Binky's, formula, Laundry (that little machine never stops working) all the home cooked meals he he heeee (Mc Donalds, Wendys, Burger King, Taco Bell, KFC, Subway) ok, just kidding really....... you think with 6 little munchkins I could afford that........the gas alone could put me in the red. Ok getting back to hard work (my husband might reading this) He always tell me you only make it harder for your self. It doesn't have to be so hard ,just be on a schedule, stay organized and have a daily routine. How many of you have heard that over and over again......I tried but for me it does not work because of all the unexpected surprises I get in between my scheduled day. I do have a little routine not perfect but trying my best, We get up and my whole focus is to get the two oldest kids ready and of to school. Next I work on getting the little babies ready. Ok, Victoria is not a baby she says.........boy she sometimes acts like one. (she can't read yet;). It is alot of work getting all the little ones ready and feed them. Then to the play room we go............once i get them busy playing......I snack out to get my daily gear on tennis shoes, big T, and some comfy sweats, but my hair has to be perfect, just in case my husband shoes up......You get the pic.... I load the laundry run down stairs start on making lunch, go get all the kids feed them and we all go out side to wait for Victoria's school bus. Thank God they stop right in front of my house, God must of knew that I was going to live here way before I did. Thank You Jesus that helps me allot. Ok back to the routine.........then I try to put the two baby's down for a nap, while Preston has some alone time Destroying the toy room. I run down stair again and clean up lunch and start prep for dinner. I run back to check on kids and reload the laundry. Then I go around the rooms and make sure they are nice and tidy. Go down stairs check my bank account, make sure we are not in the red......he heh heee pay some bills, and get on ebay spend the remaining change........;) with out my husbands knowledge. By the time I am done the kids are also done napping so we go to the diaper changing station, we take care of business and then we get a snack and off the play room we go. Now I have to make sure I don't brake my legs or trip and fall, remember Preston was left in there to have some alone time.............Get them all settled in and of I go with the baby in one arm to check on dinner. I have few moments to enjoy my little one and there is the door bell.............Guess who?????????? Yep it's the Big Kids. Mom we're home,I'm hungry, mommy Nathan been bad today, mom Lizy hit me..........you get the picture. Ok I try to round up a snack and something to drink and it's home work time. God Bless our Teachers. Done with Home Work its dinner time....... Set the table... feed, feed, feed, Daddy's home, ok make him a plate. We then talk about our day, laugh and discipline, then cry. We clean up as a family and Mommy and the kids go up stairs, while Daddy get's some alone time and calls work making sure his store is not falling apart. Bath time oh my, Girls first, get them dressed braid hair. Now Boys, reload laundry while they are soaking in the garden tub. Give baby a bath and get all the boys ready for bed. Then we all go to the Destruction Zone other wise known as a toy room we try to rebuild and restore. Daddy comes up and tucks the kids in we say a prayer turn on our stories on tape and lights out. Then Mommy, Daddy and little Aston go into our suite Daddy plays with the baby, feeds him while mommy gets out of her gear and gets some space. When I get back from my space and get into theirs. We say a prayer read our Bibles, self help, power books and lights out. Good Night.........I love you...........aaaahhhhaaaaaaaahhhhhhh
What A Day. Would not trade it for any thing and I mean this......

Olga...you are right about everything you wrote in this post. There is no job in the world more demanding than that of being a mommy. On the flip side, there is no job that is as rewarding either! I am proud of you...what a beautiful family you have! I check your blog daily and pray for you every time!

Beth
