Just.10.minutes.

Yesterday I leisurely got up, and did a few things that needing doing. I sat in the lounge and enjoyed my children for a few hours before continuing my fight with Mt Washmore... I won!

I had a dress fitting for the upcoming wedding - childless...

Then back home to enjoy my kids... and battle on with Mt Washmore... I won!

Then a painful visit with the Physio...

When I returned home I enjoyed my kids once again. And we were given a swing set and slide and kids played in the mud puddle. It was lovely and I took the opportunity to hang bits up from 13 loads of washing. But then my back got super sore and I had to stop.

Which made me feel cranky and grumpy and really irritable. No longer enjoying my kids :(
I knew I had to get dinner happening...
Jarah needed a nap but it was too late for him to have one...
Amalia was being too noisy for my ultra sensitive ears to take...
Isaiah was assisting Amalia to scream...
Avigail began cluster feeding and cluster burping and don't-you-dare-put-me-down...
Jarah was hungry too...
I was tired... I wanted just 10 minutes of quiet all to myself...

I was desperate for Michael to come home from work so he could 'take over' and I could sit in painful misery by myself...

Actually sitting was too painful so I'd have had to lie down...

But then I remember that Michael comes home covered in this black soot and black stuff (that does NOT wash out - if you have the secret to get it out LET ME KNOW I'M ALMOST DESPERATE!!!) so he'd have to shower first before he could take over... IF he would take over that is... But I still needed dinner cooked... I just wanted 10 minutes...

When Michael arrived home he was COVERED in... get this... *rubber dust* lol he looked like the chimney sweep off Mary Poppins!! You had to laugh.. Especially since rubber DUST sounds alot like rubber DUCK and to hear someone is covered in rubber DUCK is just too funny... OR I am just too over it... All I wanted was 10 minutes...

Is that too much to ask???

5 Things I am Thankful for:
1. Enjoying my children throughout the day
2. KNOWING that I am BLESSED beyond belief in so many ways
3. Babysitters - allowing me to go to painful physio appointments and dress fittings EASIER
4. Painful Physio Appointments - because when this massive pain subsides I will (hopefully) be in less pain then I was in before... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
5. My Husband... even if he comes home covered in rubber dust...
