I love my girls but sometimes......

So I feel like I have been ran through the ringer this month.  My girls that I love to death have just been trouble makers.  I know it is because I am always saying how well they play together and it is coming to bite me in the butt.  This month McKell has opened the nail polish all 7 of them and her and Kennidee painted my hope chest, bed and floor.  McKell told me that Kennidee opened it. Uh Huh the 1 year old is a genius in McKell's eyes.  They took me bridal bouquet that has survived for almost 8 years and crushed more than half of the rose all over my front room.  They also took the loaf of pumpkin chocolate bread that BJ and I won in a raffle and smashed it all aver the couch and the carpet.  That is just to name a few of our messes.  I don't write these down because I don't love my children but sometimes I think people think that stay at home moms are so lucky because they get to loaf around the house all day.  Don't get me wrong I don't wake up at the crack of dawn but when your kids are up you have no choice but to be up and alert.  I love staying home but it is the hardest most rewarding job I have ever done.  Sometimes I consider going back to work because it would be so much easier.  Someone else would be dealing with the messes.  But, I would hate to only wake them up and send them off to the babysitter.  Bring them home feed them and put them to bed.  I love being with my kids!!  Just in case anyone who is reading this doubts this.  Every once in a while I just feel like I need a break.  Men feel like they need time to unwind when they get home from work but I don't feel like women get that time.  Because when dad gets home it's time for dinner etc....  Okay I am done complaining I just felt like I needed to put my feelings down and be done with them.

Amen....I totally understand. Taking a night off once in awhile has been a great help with my stay at home mom stress. Chad has been awesome about taking them so I can get a break.

Being at home all day is hard! I do appreciate my break two days a week to go to work, but miss them and feel guilty for having to work. You are a great mom and they are adorable. I can't imagine them getting into the trouble you are talking about. :)

You are so so right. I am really scared to have 2 girls, 1 is hard enough I am sure that the 2 of them together is going to be crazy at times.
