The kids are counting the days until Christmas

And Momma's counting down the days until Evan goes back to school.

I love having him home and spending the time with him, but he wears me out. If I don't keep him busy, I know he'll start trouble to amuse himself. So I have to constantly have an activity planned. And I have to find alot of patience to get me through the day.

If the kids aren't fighting over what show to watch on TV, they are fighting over who has what toy. You wouldn't think that a 2 year old and a 9 year old would even want the same toy at the same time, but they do. I think that the 9 year old often wants the 2 year old's toy just to annoy her.

Every time I try to sit down for a minute, one of them wants something. Abby is beginning to potty train and she is wanting to sit on the toilet alot. Sounds promising right? Well, she has peed once out of the many times she's sat there.

I always have at least one child on my lap. I have learned how to precariously balance the laptop on one knee so I can check my mail. It gets tricky though when Abby is either crying or pressing buttons. While I've been typing this post, she's put the computer on Standby twice.

I am actually jealous of my husband because he's at work. Now that's sad. It could be because Aunt Flo is visiting, I have the sniffles and I'm so tired...but I am worn out. If it sounds like I'm complaining, it's because I am. I won't try to sugar coat it.

I'm worn out. I need a break from Christmas break!
