Well as I sit here in total exhaustion I wonder why is it every day I am sooo very exhausted then I thought I am responsible for a lot. I though one day I am going to write it all down. I am the constant sounding board to little ones cries, complaining, whining, and meltdowns. The lack of to myself time is overwhelming and I naturally think,"okay, I am working my tail end off but for some reason there are still have “piles” of stuff hidden places, and rooms that could bring in the hegine police for how unsanitary they are.
