Mother Off Duty Today!

Okay I'm exhausted!!! I'm soooo tired and worn out! The last two days I think my Ebstein Barr is in full force because I have been dragging myself around! Today I had to go back to bed and I feel like I could hibernate for at least a week! I told Wade that I want to boycott motherhood today. I wish I could hire a replacement to cook, do laundry, run errands, clean house, pay bills, and put away my Halloween decorations! Does any one else ever feel this way! Maybe I should just take the day off, I think I'm going to try it! MOTHER OFF DUTY TODAY!!! Do not Disturb!!!

Yes,yes,and yes!! It's nice to know I'm not the only one! :)Sometimes by the time Lou get's home, I'm just so tired of TALKING!!(to my kids that is.) Thank goodness for a great husband, I don't know how people do it alone! That is something I hope never to try! When you ever do take that week off, let me know and I will join you!! I love you, Jolyn
p.s. Joslyn I still couldn't get into your blog?!?

I vote for taking the day off, and tomorrow too! Epstein Barr can be a bear! If you need anything, give me a call.

Thank you so much for stopping by yesterday. It sure did mean a lot to me. :)

YES and YES!! I am not even a Mom and I feel that way! can't imagine how you all do it! Not that I wouldn't like to try... But I totally am putting the vote in for a MOTHER'S ON STRIKE DAY!! All of you deserve it!

I always tell Rusty that my dream is to have my own "wife" someone to do all the dishes, clean, pay bills etc. wouldn't that be so nice.

Thought I would drop by and let you know the photo is down of your kids with Christ. I really like how it turned out. I am still trying to decide on how to crop it and also what to name it. I have a new website for Captured Miracles and a new blog on the site...here is the new address
http://www.capturedmiracles.org/_blog/Miracles

come take a look and leave a comment of your favorite crop and any ideas on a title.

love ya girl hang in there.:) If you are interested I know where you can go and get 1 1/2 hr. massage for $40. :) sssoooo nice:)

I'm glad you know to take some down time when you need to. Sorry your not feeling well!

How about we take some time when we DO feel well? I wish I was close by so I could run over!

I can't wait to see Laurisa this weekend!

Jos, I sent you an e-mail a while ago. Did you get it? I can't wait for an invite! Your Mom has my e-mail if you need it.

Phew- I'm so glad I'm not the only one who has those days!!! Seriously, sometimes it's just exhausting to do the same old over and over (laundry, dishes, etc)... especially when there's so much else going on. Hope you got yourself motivated again to take care of your Halloween decorations. ;-) Loved your post/tribute on Mitch's birthday. BAH! I can't believe he is 16! The pics were so much fun though- great job collaging all of them together!

Mon....you deserve a break. You work way to hard! You make everyone else look bad! You are AWESOME! The essay that girl wrote about Laurisa, could just as well been about you!
