Fast forward to today...
I spent the day...
shining a flashlight up my five year old's nose looking for a toy he stuffed up there...
patting my seven year old on the back because she tried to drink a glass of water upside down and nearly drowned...
telling a group of older teens to stop far..ahem...passing gas in my kitchen while I was preparing dinner (gotta love teenage boys!!)
having my children look at me blankly when I said it was time for school...or time to pick up...or anything else that didn't involve Mario bouncing around on a screen.
Sigh...
Pride goeth before a fall - not sure if that phrase is exactly Biblical - but I know Proverbs covers it quite well!!!
P.S. Don't tell the kids but I'm hiding the Wii controllers for a while - I've had just about all the Mario music I can handle!!
P.S.S. I still am crazy about all of them - and wouldn't trade this job for the world :0)!!!

What's the old song about what "Mama said"...something about "Mama said there'd be days like this..." :) Gotta LOVE those days that remind us that our job is far from finished and our kids are also VERY normal!
Such a fun job we GET to do every day! :)
Chistine,
Thanks for the laugh.....so true!
I was telling hubby....you know you have a large family when..
You go to clean your computer keyboard and you would have thought you were cleaning the toaster! So may crumbs fall out!
I need to think of more and post it!
I loved your post...I will have to share it with hubby when he gets home!
Blessings,
