The Daily Toilings Of A Part Time Stay At Home Mom

Mornings have gotten a little crazy over here at the Jaffe household.  It usually starts around 5:30 maybe 6:00am, if I am lucky.  One of the children will wake up and instantly be starving.  Starving like they have not been fed for days.  Yelling for food like it might be their only meal of the day.  I, half awake, stumble down the stairs to see what delicious box of cereal   delicacy I can whip up in a quick hurry while tripping over the dog seven million times, because now he's starving too.  Doesn't matter that there is still some kibble from last nights meal in his bowl, this dog wants some fresh stuff. By this time the caffeine headache has set in and all I can think about is coffee.  That's usually when the other child will awaken from their slumber, screaming for food or a BABA! Now almost three quarters of a hour has gone by and I still have not managed to 1) pee and 2) get a coffee down...

My 4th of July post is lame but I am TOTALLY exhausted.  This late night partying is not for us old folks...or should I say anyone that has two little children to tend to in the morning.  This is a lesson that I just refuse to learn. LATE NIGHT PARTYING+EARLY RISING CHILDREN=HORRID NEXT DAY It was fun though.  Not often that both my siblings make it up to hang out with their big sister, even if Katie spent most of the night in my closet changing clothes...who the hell knows why.  This mornings fall out was horrific.  Dov is still recovering now...at 8pm. I am still picking up fireworks ALL OVER MY YARD. Here it is.
