I can't say it was a good day...

Nothing out of the ordinary but Christmas chaos for a 6-year old and 4-year-old, on top of a stressed trying to keep everything together wife and a tired but not tired enough to sleep all day husband is a UGLY combination. Kids are Nuts the week before Christmas. I think they might be more sane if they were on crack (insert sarcasms here).  You add that to a mix of emotions and questions that don't have great answers and you have a mess on your hands. Then you have a mom that is trying to keep this train moving and watching for kids who need help you have a mess on your hands. Then you have a husband that feels a little bit better the last two days but not good enough to chase an 18 month old or play a game with the older girls but is not tired enough to sleep... you have yet another mess on your hands. So we were a mess this afternoon and into the evening. Sisters fighting, baby grabbing things that will break, mom trying to scrub the kitchen floor, dad trying to feel like a human, caroling toys going off just when you think you are going to lose it, calls to friends... I think I am going to lose it... hang on, their might be blood-shed from all the sisterly love going on in their bedroom over a cardboard box, screaming "it's NOT fair!", mom chasing screaming little girl, that is not going down in my house sister, baby crying b/c favorite sister gets in trouble, poop b/c of too much fruit consumption at dinner, mean diaper rash.... It was like a calgon commercial. Ugh.

I don't know, I can just say that I am glad that every child in this house is nestled snug in their beds and I can only hope that visions of sugar plums are dancing in their heads...

I hope we have a better day tomorrow.
I hope to post our CHRISTmas card post but this chick has got to simmer down for a bit tonight....
