doing the same thing over and over again
and expecting different results.
My plan: get up at 6:00 to get myself ready and some morning tasks done before the kids wake up and my morning is consumed by getting them ready and out the door for school. I even did a spread sheet schedule - and on paper it looks doable - but for some reason (maybe never getting to bed before midnight and still waking up in the middle of the night with a 6 month old baby!)it doesn't happen very often. What usually happens is Jackson wakes me up to see if he can play games because he's already gotten himself breakfast and dressed. I jump out of bed, say my prayers of course, and hurry into the kitchen to make his lunch and make sure he got all of his homework done while also getting abby up and breakfast and ready for school. It's not frantic but it's not the easy laid back morning that my plan (in theory) would afford. So...after this is all done and the big kids are gone I sometimes sit the little mischievious guy at the counter with a bowl of cereal (because it keeps him busy for a little while - sort of) so I can finally get ready. You'd think I'd learn by now but I must officially be insane.
This is the usual result...
luckily this time there was no milk involved!
(I'm usually a little too ticked to be taking a picture
when milk IS involved)
Not only did he make this lovely mess
but as you can see, by all the missing marshmallows,
he obviously had a very healthy meal as well.
THE CULPRIT!!!
He's just too dang cute to get mad at.

I don't know how you do it with 4 kids! You're amazing! I find myself not being able to get anything done with only one! I thought it was supposed to get easier as they got older? Crap!
He is just so dang cute! The question is did you get yourself ready and have enough "me" time that you could handle another box of cereal all over the floor?!! Better luck tomorrow with your schedule :)
Give yourself a break...throw that spreadsheet out the window. It's so hard when you are still getting up with a baby at night to expect so much of yourself.
And you're right, you'r eguy is too cute! I would have a hard time getting mad (or at least staying mad) with him!:)
I almost gave up!! I am so glad that you finally posted. I miss seeing you and hearing about your cute family. Hope we can get together while I am there at the beginning of April!!! Call me if you get a chance.
I love your background!!! And I really love that picture of Boston...he is such a character. :)See you soon!
