Kidlings

I tend to call my kids a variety of things, sweetheart, honey, etc, and I call them animals a lot, turkey, monkeys, herd of elephants. One day while going to the store, I was being followed by my three oldest kids and I called them my little ducklings. 2 informed me they weren't ducks, but kids, so now I call them my kidlings. Silly, but true.

Mondays

I haven't quite decided yet, but I'm fairly certain that Mondays, whether you are a workforce or homeplace person, ought to be banned. Regardless of my day, by the end of any given Monday, I feel ready to call it a weekend again. Wanna hear about my day? Well, of course you do or you wouldn't be reading this. I have four kids (7, 4, 2, & 6 months) and naturally there are regular accidents, spills, arguments, etc. However, in the amount of time it took me to take a fast shower since my 6 month was awake and watching her mobile in her crib, I emerged feeling clean and happy, only to find that my 2 had smeared glue stick all over the sliding glass doors, bead board, and table in my kitchen. He had also used a crayon to color on my new pictures of my 6 month, and recruited my 4 to make a waterfall on the coffee table using their sand buckets and the bathroom sink downstairs.
Mind you, I know how to take an amazingly quick shower, so counting in the ten seconds of wimpering under the hot water and wishing all my children were sleeping, and an additional 2 minutes to get dressed, I was out in under six minutes. (it ain't pretty but it is what it is...luckily I buy strong soap). My kidlings had gotten me again. Sigh. Mondays.

First Try

So I'm a new blogger today. Never been a blogger before and thought I'd step into the new millenium and give it a whirl. I figure if I don't do to terrible a job, I might even let people know that it's here and let 'em read it. Not quite sure if I'm ready for that yet, so we'll see. At any rate, it's good scribling time for me and I can chat about my kids as much as I want without anyone getting bored or rolling their eyes. If they don't want to know, they can close the page or look elsewhere on the web. :) Handy.
