My Wednesday...not too interesting!

Yesterday was a tiring day. Lily and I went shopping but she was not a very good shopping partner. I think she got bored, so she started hiding in the racks and she wouldn't come when I asked her to, and then she started complaining...I was very ready to get home. But we did come out with a few new clothes for her, and she looks very cute in them. We got this one pair of glittery jeans that spread glitter wherever she goes, like Tinkerbell with her fairy dust. I don't know what it was about yesterday but I was SO worn out, all I could do when we got home was collapse on the couch. Then about 9:00 I got my second (really my first) wind and started washing clothes. I'm glad tomorrow is Friday, we're going up to see the new sweet baby and I think the kids are going to go to Jessie's family for a hayride. We figured they'd have more fun doing that anyway, and they voiced very clearly that that was what they wanted to do, and quite frankly, I could use a break. I don't like admitting it, but sometimes, when things get stressful, I just need a little break. They probably want a break from their crazy mama too.
Today...I don't think anything particularly interesting is happening. My nieces are spending the night with us though, and they always make things more lively ( as if they weren't already lively enough.) I realize, when they all come home from school, what it would be like to have four kids. Yesterday, I was on the phone, and they came in and all started talking to me at once. Here, an example of some of the chatter: "Someone fell and broke his arm on the playground"..."He pushed me down in the gym and I hurt my knee"..."Mama, I'm thirsty"..."Where is my glove?"...plus there was Amber on the phone...poor Amber, everytime she calls, I'm in a whirlwind of some sort. I'm sorry Amber! My mind just wasn't sharp enough to process everything lol. I guess I'm in slow mode this week. You know what I think is dumb? All of those magazine articles that tell you to "avoid stress". Now just how is that humanly possible? Do they manage to avoid stress? I seriously doubt it. There's my rant for the day. I'll try to be more peppy in my next post. :)
