But, I'm being honest. This thought has gone through my mind and more so, just recently.
I think
I WANT A NANNY.
That sounds so, bad. I mean, it's like sacrilege to all stay-at-home-moms. But, I told you that I'm being honest so, just hear me out and then forget everything I've written.
My house irritates me when it gets messy. It's nothing a good two hour cleaning can't handle but still. My mood takes a dip south and I start snapping at people. For those who don't know, I make these cute PUnk MOnkeys and they take up a lot of my time. With kids, it takes me close to three days to make one. Without kids and uninterrupted. About three hours. How do I know that? I had D help me out. I told him to watch the kids while I timed myself. Warp speed folks. Warp speed.
POW. Then I was overwhelmed with this sneaky thought, what if I had someone to follow my kids around and pick up their messes? Oh, heavenly days.
Ok, so, maybe what I really want isn't a nanny but a human-picker-upper. That's sounds better. I love my babies, but I need more hours in my day. Less cleaning and more stitching.
This is me. being completely honest. Over and out.

Oh my word, I am SO WITH YOU!! I homeschool my 5 and I totally absolutely DEPEND on my house cleaner who only comes every other week! So, I get a text this am at 7:30.."so sorry Ms Tina can't come today" Yeah,,snappy would have been a nice word to describe me!!!
Thanks for keeping it real!
Oh yeah we tried out the noodle sour cream casserole...BIG hit!! Thanks
Oh, man. I would bake a thousand cookies just to have a house keeper. Seriously. *groan* and I'm not fond of baking....hah.
SO glad to hear that the sour cream bake was a tummy tickler!! We love it. And I love it because it's easy!
Misha, you are not alone! My mood is directly affected by the condition of my home. I am well pleased when it is clean and maintained (and everyone does their share of cleaning)but when it isn't, well, I am a different creature. My kids know when the house is out of control, don't think about asking to do anything fun :). Last week, when I had enough, I wrote on their easel "Marquez Family Boot Camp" and printed out a cleaning list! The troops were dragging at first but they came around when they realized I was very serious! Awesome, genuine post!
