Busy-ness

The last few days have been terribly busy... I feel like I haven't stopped much at all! Friday was the member's only night of the TMOM (Tulsa Mothers of Multiples) Garage Sale.... so between set up, shopping, and working a shift of the sale, I spent 6 hours devoted to it! I was exhausted when I got home at 11pm. Then, Saturday morning, I awoke to tremendously cranky kids... ALL 4 OF THEM! It was a "I'm gonna lose it!" kind of day! Xander had a t-ball game. Got home from that at 1130, then fixed lunch for the kids, put them down for a nap, mom came over to sit while I went back to the garage sale. Spent another 3 1/2 hours there on the clean-up crew... another tiring few hours... but my day doesn't end here!!! Got home at 530, cooked dinner, went to bed for a 2 hour nap. Got up at 9 & went to work....
Work was horrendous! They piled so much junk on my plate; I hate that because I feel like I work & work & work and accomplish nothing! Got off Sunday morning, came home, cooked breakfast for the family & went to bed. Awoke again to cranky kids...not sure why, but the babies have been very fussy lately... must be teething!! GRRR! Got up, fixed dinner, hung out with the kids & hubby for a little bit, then went to work again. ANOTHER night of work with WAY too much to do! Felt like sitting down in tears by the end of the night.
Came home from work, got kids up, fed & dressed, took Xander to school, came home & CRASHED! But only 4 hours later, was awakened by crankiness.... UGH... I need sleep! Got up for a couple hours, then went back to bed for 2 hours.... got up, made dinner... and NOW...FINALLY, am sitting here taking time for me! HOWEVER, I am getting ready to go to work in a few minutes...so sad.... too bad I'm not rich! LOL
Sorry if I wore you out reading this.... thought I'd give you a little glimpse into my last few days... and this is only the surface of my weekend !!! HAHA!

Rachel, it is soooo important for you to not have to much on your plate. I don't see how you do it...wife, mother of 4, AND work?! now you have an added responsiblity of TMOM's leadership role?! Remember it's ok to say "no"!! You can't do it ALL! If you need any help w/ tmom stuff let me know...i'm not very involved. **hugs**

The kids may be extra cranky because they need some extra momma time, since you have been going going going for the last couple of days. As hard as it is, and as much as you may just want to be left alone, they probably just need a little momma time and then they might leave you alone. :). Hopefully this next week is less crazy for you.
