Contest Entry

A hospital near me is having a contest for mothers who need a break. They wanted us to share our funniest moments. The funny thing is most of my "funny" moments happened with the twins when they were toddlers. Here was my entry... 
    Ever since I was a young girl all I ever wanted to grow up and be was a mother. If anyone ever asked the question, what do you want to be when you grow up? The answer was always an easy one, “A mother.” I feel so blessed to say I have SIX children and baby number SEVEN will be joining our family this July.
     My oldest will be 12 in May, I have a 10 year old, 8 year old, twin 6 year olds and a 3 year old. Life has slowed down a bit since 5 are now in school, but every morning before they leave and after they get home you just might say my life is a little busy!
     As I read through my blog to find the funniest story to share, I found quite a few!
There was the Vaseline incident, the lotion made with oil and butter, the baby powder, the broken glass table top, the dumped bucket of raw rice, the toilet papered bedroom, the dumped laundry soap, the mascara, the permanent marker on the cabinets, walls, carpets (you name it), the mud “fight”, the toddler that crashed the car, the ramen food “fight”, the indoor water “fight” using the water from the toilet bowl... It seems as though the list could go on and on. I’m so glad I documented all these not so funny events when they happened, because now I smile and even laugh about this list!

    I love my children and feel so blessed to have each of them in my life, but sometimes I need a break!
