Felt like rambling...

I thought I would stop and relax for a minute and jot down a few lines. We had a great day today. My older kiddos went to school and the boys and I decided to have a little friend over to play. I should have known there would be trouble though. As soon as we got out of the car from taking the older ones to school, Will told me, "I no get out. I go bye-bye." I had to literally fight him to get him out of the car. He would block me and not let me unfasten his seatbelt. As soon as I had one part unfastened, he would refasten it. I finally just did it quickly and managed to get him out. He is cracking me up though with his latest. When he decides to be disobedient, he kicks while he says in a very agitated tone of voice, "kick, kick, kick." I suppose he is trying to drive the point home that he is quite agitated. Who knows! So, as usual, I am rambling. We had our playdate though and everything was going quite nicely. UNTIL. I had the bright notion to mention the trains upstairs. Have you ever seen three 2 year olds share and cooperate? Me either. Let's just say the train time wasn't the best of my ideas. Three boys all wanted the same trains and they all were either screaming or throwing train engines or tracks to let us know things were just not going their way. These boys! The more I think about my family, the more I realize one of the reasons God gave me all these precious kids is to make my dependence on Him greater! Can I hear an AMEN sista? Oh, I forgot to mention my marathon cleaning session. When my friend called about the playdate, we planned it very last minute. I offered my house. Have you ever done something like that and looked around wondering how you missed the tornado that somehow swept through the house? I hung up the phone to complete panic. Dishes were piled up in the sink, an entire family of rats could have lived on what the kids had dropped under the kitchen table, along with unmade beds, toys everywhere, nasty countertops, floors that needed to be vacuumed, laundry that needed to be started...need I mention anything else. Let me tell you girl, I finished it all before she got there. It took me 45 minutes and I was sweating when she got there! I wasn't embarrassed though...except for the sweat on my brow. Oh well, that is all for now. I haven't done my quiet time today and it is 10:48. Not to mention I need a bath! Sleep well.
