Such is life

My alarm went off this morning. Damn... I hate it when it does that.. Anyways... I hit snooze hoping to go back to the dream it rudely interuped. No such luck. I hit snooze again. When it goes off again I get up and start my day as a newly 33 year old woman. My Birthday was yesterday. I'm getting old... I cannot imagine how old my parents feel right now.

I hit the shower, using the time to think as I usually do. I look at my naked body. Everything looks the same sadly. Fat and ugly. I wonder where my miracle weight loss drug is only to realize there is no such thing. I argue with myself that I need to stop being so lazy and work out. When summer get's here and it's warmer outside I think... See... lazy always wins.

Moving on... I go and wake up the world's most cutest set of 4 year old twin boys. I say that because they are always cute when they are sleeping. I am reminded that they are part of the reason my body looks as it does. I still love them though.

David streatches... another cute thing he does. Then he wines and says "Mommy I want to wake up". I tell him he can get up and off he goes without much thought. His wet pullup hanging to his knees, he's so damn skinny everything hangs on him. (Yes we are four but we are NOT night time potty trained. I think they will be married before that happens).

Then I turn my attention back to the one that needs to get up... Matthew. He does NOT want to wake up. Rolls over and stucks his tumb back in his mouth. I laugh, shake him and follow David out. We get the heavy pull up in the trash and our underwear on... so now you see a big long sleeve shirt and a set of tooth pick legs stick out. Very cute. I decided it'll be easier on me if I let David be the bad guy and send him in to turn on his bedroom light so Matthew will wake up. He turns on the light and yells "MATTHEW WAKE UP NOW". I giggle, as I take a bite of my cold cereal.

Matthew finally appears, 10 min after I started the wake up process. I get him dressed for school. Daddy can finish dressing David later. I head to the bathroom to get myself ready now and David follows me. We have a interesting conversation..

David: "Mommy are you going to work?"
Me: "Yes David"
David: "But why Mommy?"
Me: "Because I have to make money"
David: "Then Grandma and Grandpa get me off the bus, then Grandma and Matthew come home, then Daddy wakes up and Grandma and Grandpa go home then you come home from work?"
Me: "Why yes David! Good Job!

See... My kids amaze me. Especially David... I always worry about him he's so far behind Mattehw in lots of ways.

Even Matthew had me cracking up this morning. We get to the school and since we had left the snow boots at my parents I have him a piggy back ride so he wouldn't get his feet wet. He had me laughing the whole time.

Sometimes you are so annoyed with them you want to pinch they heads off and the next you love them so much you want to pinch your bosses head off for making you go to the awful place you call a job just so you can make a living of some sort. Well if that's what you want to call it.

Sometimes life isn't fair, sometimes it is and sometimes your kids make you forget everything that is bothering you.
