Holy crap, I'm ready to go back to work

Ya know how when you go on vacation and you need to take a vacation from your vacation? Like a vacation from yourself? Well...that's not what's going on here.

I'm exhausted but not because we went on vacation. But because I'm doing this taking-care-of-things thing in my house and mind and it's exhausting. Honestly, I thought I'd feel better. LIke lighter or something. Like a load as been taken off my shoulders. Alls I really feel is tired and ready to go back to work.

Here's a run down on my weekend.

Oh and about cleaning a child's room...

Megan told us at dinner the other night that she wishes she had a genie so she could wish that she wouldn't have to clean her room all the time.

Hahahaha! *poof!* there's MOMMY!! What does she mean that she has to clean it ALLLLLL the time?!?!?!?

I agree with Lisa. Wait until they are 18 and moved out. ;)
