Singing In the Morning

I awoke this morning to the singing of birds as they gently roused me from a deep and restful sleep. They very sweetly brought me my dress, and the squirrels and mice had made coffee for me. The children were already dressed and so happy. They played together so nicely as I drank my coffee all while the sun shone oh so beautifully down on us all. 

....and then I woke up....

To one kid driving her hand into my breast as she tried to get a hug to wake me up, and the other who literally soaked his bed including pillow in poop and pee from over filling his diaper. Then I stumbled downstairs to make coffee only to discover that my Keurig was out of filtered water and my water pitcher that filters my water had nothing in it. Full pot it was, which takes so much longer. After which I managed to corral the kids for breakfast and sat down to try to drink my coffee. Several times yelling at them and a few spankings later, I finished my coffee standing up as I headed to the living room to play referee between the kids. Which is where I am now as I attempt to write this post. All while one kid keeps trying to play with my keyboard and the other yells at me about being hungry despite the fact that I literally just fed her.

Seriously children! Chill! Please, I beg you. Children please stop tackling each other and taking each other's toy just long enough for me to finish my blog....oh hello bloggers. You're still here...sorry for the intrusion.

No! Do not open the back door and let your brother out where the annoying smokers throw their cigarette butts on the ground!!!!! I don't want him eating them!!!! Yes we can play with bubbles later if you go down for your nap like a good girl. Good job Clay on walking. Look at you go! Sam, DO NOT pull down the decorations and definitely stay away from the window! You do not play with the blinds cords. Get off the table while you're at it will you? How did you even get up there? Clay stop pulling at your sister's pj's and panties. It's rude. 

All this while we have music going so that mommy stays sane. What can I say? While chaos may reign in the house at least we can still sing the morning away.
