Seriously... Sometimes I catch myself doing insane things for my children. The kids finally talked me into letting them go outside for a little while after dinner, even though it has been rainy and crummy all day. The rain had barely stopped and the ground was still wet, but a major league baseball game is going on right in my front yard.
In between runs, there are fights between Chase and Daniel (Austin's 6yr old friend). Chase and Daniel are a lot alike, but everything Daniel does drives Chase crazy. Go figure. Anyways, the kids decided they needed the baseball song playing before they could start the next game. Guess who they found for the DJ? Yes, yours truly. So I find myself sitting at the computer, searching for the song on youtube, and then playing it for them with the computer speaker sitting on my front window sill. The only problem, is that the song is only 18seconds long. So, the kids told me they needed me to keep playing it over and over for them.
You may be thinking, yeah right. But, I sat here and played it a few times - because it put such big smiles on their faces to hear it as they ran the bases and hit the ball. Then I realized that the sink full of dishes was waiting for me, and the laundry is still piled on our bed from this morning, and besides that I am worn out. I am already looking forward to my morning nap tomorrow after I drop them off at school.
Here's a link to the song... (just in case you want to hear it... Be sure to yell "Charge" at the end!) Yes. I did. =)

Tomorrow will bring more challenges, another day of craziness, and thank goodness Jason will be home tomorrow night. He is in Cincinnati , OH for a few days for work. He wonders why I am always so excited for him to get home as quick as possible. Of course I miss him, but I also need a break!! Hope everyone is having a wonderful week! =)

This is hysterical - but of course it's what we moms do when it's required of us.
ReplyDeleteAs I said before you are a great mom.
Give yourself a pat on the shoulder and then snuggle in and take a nap while they are gone.
Love you lots! Thanks so much for sharing this. It made my day!
