Well I guess I'll admit I'm not supermom! I try my hardest but at times I just want to go to the airport and buy a one way ticket to ANYWHERE where I'm not called mom? mom? mom? It doesn't help that I have selective hearing and don't answer. But then reality sets in and I look up from what I'm doing - working, cleaning, laundry, cooking - whatever it is at that moment and answer to my little ducklings. I realize this is what I love about my family. I don't know if I could handle not having work, kids and all these things to do. I probably wouldn't know what to do with myself.
I recently took a girls trip with my daughter to New York and 3 of her friends and their moms - it was wonderful to get away but I missed my husband and my boys like crazy. I bought two little live turtles from Chinatown for my 6 year old and had to figure out a way to get them on the plane. Phinnaeus & Ferb made it through the plane ride and are still alive 2 weeks later. What was I thinking 5 kids, 3 dogs, 2 turtles, 1 husband. And to top it off one of the turtles only has 2 front feet but he gets around good.
