This week marks my LAST week of having an insane amount of children in my house a good portion of time (and a good portion of the day!) I am really really looking forward to NOT running my feet off for over 10 hours a day catering to the every single whim of 9-10 kids… MOST of the age 5 and under. I don’t think… unless you have done it… that anyone has ANY FREAKING IDEA how HARD and stressful and DRAINING it is to have 9 kids ALL DEMANDING and chattering and talking and whining and asking for things and clamoring for your attention and and and. There are no words to describe how burnt toast I feel at the end of the day. Just no words.
I feel very thankful for a husband that does the supper dishes and helps as much as he does. Running a house with this many kids PLUS daycare kids PLUS dogs etc is hard. The level of cleanliness that your house needs to be at on a daily basis in enough to break your back. EVERY SINGLE DAY I’m cleaning bathrooms, vacumming, sweeping, washing bedding, clothes etc. I do dishes on average 5 times a day (without a dishwasher). It’s insane. And don’t get me started on how hard it is to constantly be cleaning up after nine kids… let’s put it this way. I’d rather be sitting behind a counter or doing retail all day most days. SITTING is a concept that I don’t often get to enjoy.
ug. ranting I know. But I am so so so so so done.
