I found Jacob's key's hid in our closet
Part of my Aloe Vera plant was ate by a five year old
Part of my aloe vera plant was fed to a dog
A goldfish was somehow killed
The hermit crabs were moved to the top of the fridge so that their cage couldn't be shook violently
I've said the phrase "Please do not chase the dog" more than 200 times!
I've changed over 50 diapers
I've made over 50 bottles
I've made 11 jugs of Kool-Aid
I've sang my ABC at least 40 times
I've been peed on, pooped on and spit on
an important document was cut in half with child scissors
I've enrolled a child in preschool
I've enrolled a child in PAT
I've had to pull three screaming children from the arms of their mom and try my best to explain to them why
Dr.Pepper and Pepsi have taken the place of sleep
I've cleaned blue marker out of my carpet
I've cleaned blue marker off of children
I've had to relock doors, not to keep people out but to keep children in
I've done more laundry than most laundry mats see in a month
My dishwasher and stove seem to run 24 hors a day.
I accidentally dyed my hair GRAY, which crazy enough felt natural at the moment
Frozen fish sticks are now considered an entire meal
I bought a doll for the first time since I was little
I made homemade cookies from scratch for school just because my son likes to be able to add many ingredients.
I've taken a toothbrush away from a 2yo that was brushing her hair with it.
I had to beg and bribe my husband and 17yo daughter to watch the younger children so I could take a 5 minute shower.
I'm tired, hungry, thirsty and in need of a long hot bath but I still love children. I still believe that I can make a difference in their life and I still believe in them! Five days down... what seems like a lifetime to go..
