Later on while I was stumbling out to take out the recycling, I noticed a Macy's catalog. Macy's! And there was a fragrance sample inside--doubly wonderful! So I smeared the sample all over myself only to realize that the woman on the advertisement wasn't actually a woman who would wear the fragrance; she was the girl that a fellow could attract if he were wearing the cologne.
It gets even better, folks. I also neglected to add my young son to our insurance policy in the 30-day grace period, which apparently was also not enough time for me to pay our electric bill:
Seriously?
The other day as I was pushing the crew through the grocery store, Incredulous Store Worker informed me that my oldest and brightest had secured a plastic bag over his head. She looked at me with an expression that I've come to expect: it's the one that says, "Lady, are you out of your mind?"
And for the first time, I wondered, "Maybe she's right?"

WELCOME Amy! It's a unique life few dare to endure.
Thanks so much for being real! I understand. I could do 3, no prob. 4, no prob...until the 2nd month. What have I gotten myself in to??? I'd watch the lady across the street pregnant with her 3rd, but other 2 kids were in school all day and she'd be all ready and come and go as she pleased. I'd get teary watching her. Once I shared my feelings with Dan and he said, "Just think, if we don't have anymore kids, you'll be able to do that in 5 years." I burst out in tears! Then burst again when I was pregnant just a few short months later. (I still didn't have any kids in school yet) That is also when he quit going to school full-time, p/t from there on out, he knew he better meet my demands or he'd be a single dad of those 4 kids. ;)
What did Eric think of the cologne? What a day/week! It sounds like you made it through the office visit for 3 boys with flying colors. That's quite an accomplishment! I sure miss you. Thanks for the book recommendation for the boys - sounds perfect. Please send more my way if as you think of them.
Oh, Amy. Until now I didn't think you ever stressed out! I'm glad to learn you're human. Haha. I know you're doing a great job. You can always tell the good moms by the toothepaste in their hair!
Amy!!! It's been forever, hasn't it?? Wait...do...you...even...remember...me?
Christine Foster!!!!
Of COURSE you remember me. I mean, how could you forget? Looks like things are good with you, congrats on the baby. check out our blog...ashbycrew.blogspot.com.
SO glad to know you're human (barely :) ) I still wonder if I'm out of my mind with 3...so, I think you're doing amazingly well!!! Wish I could have seen your cute toothpaste-do! :)
Amy I am dying laughing! I love that you smeared men's cologne all over you with a dash of toothpaste! I just love that yes, in my mind, you are still super mom, and a super woman. I still will NEVER forget the lists that you used to make before you would go to bed of all the things that you were going to do the next day. I bet you never thought you'd add toothpaste in hair to your list! You are a great mom and always a great example to me. At least I now know that you also have days when things are crazy, but you are doing a great job!!!
