...complete lack of judgment(and sanity) on my part! No, all kidding aside, I wouldn't have it any other way, but 4 extra kids sure adds a lot of craziness. Between two girls, um, I mean CATS, tethered together at the NECK, and a pick-up game of mud soccer in the swamp-like back yard and the drumming from the basement it is never dull around here! Somehow, Shorty is sleeping through all of it!
I am so thankful my children all have friends that feel comfortable here and want to play often. Not all moms can or WANT to have a thousand children at their house at any given time, so I know I am truly a rarity in that, but I figure I already have 5, what's a few more!? There are already stains on the carpets and walls in dire need of paint, so what really could any one do to make it worse, right!? There will be time for paint and new flooring when my kids are older and no longer here to mess it all up, so for now, I'll keep it like it is so all are welcome. As long as I know how many are here for dinner BEFORE I start to cook it, in most cases I'll feed them. Unless its Wednesday, because I shop on Thursdays and there's not usually enough food left in the house to feed too many by Wednesday. Or even Tuesday for that matter. Monday might even be a stretch some weeks!
So with that, I'll say, "Welcome to my home, one and all and bring your raggedy kids with you!" I love 'em all, and they'll fit right in with MY raggedy kids!
