Things that have been said in my car

We were driving today and I was losing my mind, again. The things out of our mouths were unbelievable. I decided to share these things with you. For the sake of understanding and protecting the guilty all comments are by children unless they are in parenthesise then they are by me. So here is the list, in no particular order. I'm hot, usually followed by I'm cold. SLUGBUG, No I saw it, no I did, no I did, no that one is mine I saw it(this usually lasts until we see another one), I have 10 points, NO you have 5 points and I have 15, No MOM what is 5+10+5 (20) I have 20 points, No you don't, Yes I do, What color was the one you saw? This goes on and on and on. (WE ARE NEVER PLAYING THIS GAME AGAIN!!!) Are we in California?, I have to go pee, He touched me, She kicked me, He's looking out my window, scoot over, I have a headache, Can we have a treat?, I am going to throw up, I can't breath, Prayers, If you touch me again I'm going to kick you, Don't spit on me followed by MOM he spit on me, you hate me, I hate you. (How was your day honey), (please be good), (I'm losin it). Can we have the music please, No I don't want the music, Please can we have the radio on (yes), Louder please, No, (No) please change the song, turn off the radio, Will you please be quiet I can't here the song?, No your not the boss of me, WILL YOU PLEASE BE QUIET?, please turn up the radio I can't here the song. Turn up the air I'm hot, no I'm cold. Mom you never do what I want. He's bugging me, your a Jerk, your a brat, you always bug me, why can't you leave me alone, I'm never playing with you! (Will everyone just shut up!!!) (I love you). The truth tellin is this... Be glad you don't have to drive with us.

The fantastic 5

Why are we a freak show? Whenever I am dumb enough to take the children somewhere I get stares and comments. One time I was taking Zac to summer school. Just a quick drop off. We run into someone that we know in the parking lot. We stop to say Hi. I roll down the window and he greets Zac. We are talking and he hears Hi's from the back of the car. He then pokes his head in the car and says wow how many kids are in here. I say with a smile oh just mine. He then says alllllllll 5 are innnnn here. I say pissy, yes alllll 5 are in here it's not like we have 500. He chuckles and I chuckle and I think can I run over his foot and make it look like an accident. I have no idea why people and I mean strangers think that they have the right to comment. I know that I am crazy. I am with every fiber of my being trying to keep it together when I take the children out in public. If Justin ever took the children out and someone had a negative comment he probably come back with yeah their all mine do you have a problem with that. When someone says something to me I think I've done something wrong and am not doing a good job of making them behave. The truth-tellin is this... If you see a women with 5 children out in public do the following: 1. Pray for her 2. STAY OUT OF HER WAY and 3. Be glad that it's not you.

Sunday is the day of rest, for the children

First today is Sunday which is the Lord's day of rest notice that I said the Lord's. I have not rested once today. Ok so I did take a rest in the restroom, but Hyrum did pound on the door asking for food even though his very capable Dad was in the front house. Sundays are hard days for us mainly because I have this FANTASY that because it's Sunday the children are supposed to stop fighting. Ya know, I feel like they can at least act like they've been taught how to behave one day a week. We also have issues with church clothing. EVERY SUNDAY at least one child child can't find at least one article of his or her clothing. Oh and don't think that your so smart and suggest that we lay out their clothes the night before. Well miss smarty pants when we do this the savages still manage to lose something. I guess we could put everything in a vault and everyone would be happy. Today Hyrum is missing one Sunday shoe. I shut of the blow dryer to hear a ruckus coming from the boys room. I assume that it is Zac, well because 99.9% of the time it is Zac. I walk down the hall to see Zachary coming out of his room. I am dumbfounded. He seems calm. I ask him if he is almost ready for church he says and I quote "I am going to get ready in the front house because I don't want to get hit with flying toys" Now at this moment I think smart kid, then I think if a child was throwing toys Zac would have handled the situation (read) as yelled at them to get out so this leaves me with Justin. I decide I better find out what is going on. I hear him say Hyrum where are your shoes? Now you need to know that the boys room is a mess. I sigh and think we are never going to find this shoe. I notice that the toy box is overturned (the flying toys) So I make a few helpful suggestions: Did you look under the bed, in the closet (which DID hold the toys). Yes he did and no shoe. I leave the boys room thinking that his shoe is on our bed. Well one shoe is but not the other so I have a thought... what if the shoe is just by chance in the shoe closet(ya know the place it should be) and lo and behold we have a shoe. Ya just never know where your going to find something, it might just be where it is supposed to be. So this is my truth tellin... the children WILL misbehave even though it's Sunday and until the children are grown something will always be misplaced even if it is right where it should be.
