Momma Drama

Does a family of five sound like a lot? I didn't used to think so, but the more dishes I load into the dishwasher, the more clothes I wash, the more crap I pick up....I'm just beginning to wonder. I don't know how mothers who have oodles of kids do it. It just seems so never ending, and frankly I'm plain tuckered at the end of the day. Nothing left to give. Not even for myself. Is it the clerk job? The fact that I get up around 5:30 every morning? The age of my kidlets? My work ethic? (gah!) My age? Am I vitamin deficient? I'd feel much better if it was something uncontrollable that caused me to be so pooped, and not my motivation. What to do....what to do about it? I shall ponder it this evening, suggestions/comments/tips/tricks also welcome.....

Dave too the kids to the ped's today. I swear to gawd I hate that back up ped...sent Trent home with some Zyrtec. The boy has a sinus infection. I've already scheduled him to go back next week to see his regular ped when she's back from vacation. We may have to go with the allergy shots for him. Devin got swabbed for strep, which came back negative but it's at the lab for the two-day result. She was complaining of a sore throat, and a sore nose this morning. She had absolutely no color in her face or lips, she was quite scary looking. Then she hurled once. Ahhhhh, the joy. On the up side, Maiya is healthy for the moment. Knock. On. Wood.

Got a boatload of village checks done this morning, then went to "The Shop" and got my hair deep conditioned and trimmed. Hopped in the tanner for 5 minutes, oh how I miss that. Skin cancer causing thing that it is...

Had a *playdate* here after school, and got the canopy up over top Maiya's play area. I meant to wash the rest of the porch every day this past week I think. I bought a brush that hooks up to the hose so it should be a lot easier now. The plan was to have the porch ready by this weekend in case I scored some porch furniture while yard sale-ing.

This weekend will include:
Hitting the yard sales tomorrow morning.
Taking the biggies to see Shrek tomorrow afternoon.
Getting the porch washed at some point.
Getting the garden planted.
Doing village payroll.
Hopefully working on the bathroom at little.
Bowling.
Playscape.
General yard work.

I'm thinking that should be enough...have a great weekend everyone! :)
