    But I can't lie, and you can call me crazy, but I really do love it....most of the time!

    Being a wife and Mama is my greatest joy and also what drives me crazy fastest!

    The better you are at the job the more they take advantage!

    You know, the little things that taken on their own are no problem but 10 freaking times a dayyyyyyyy...sorry.....make you nuts.

    Crumbs on the counter, dirty clothes BY the hamper,clothes hangers on the floor under the clothes in the closet...that stuff...wahhhh!

    It's a real pain sometimes and you miss it like nothing else when those days are pretty much over.
    My kids are grown and hardly ever home anymore,basically just to sleep (they always have sooo much to do), and not being needed so much is pretty sad sometimes.
    Maybe I sound weird, but enjoy the being needed while it lasts.

    One thing that cricket said was dirty clothes next to the hamper. Ummm the hamper is empty and sitting there to be used ,.
