5 kids and im going bonkers!
Today is day 2 of having all 5 kids this week. SD7, BS6, BD2, Nephew4, and niece6. Summer is turning into hell for me! These kids are determined to drive me crazy. Why do they tattle so much at their ages? It drives me nuts and over the stupidest shit I ever heard in my life! AUNTYYYYY is sissy a baby word? Cuz BS said its a baby word! Mommmm he telling on me, I said he isn't in school yet so its ok for him to use baby words. MOMMMMY SD threw another toy at my face and I didn't do it to her first this time. MOMMMMMMM! OMG! They are all pretty good kids (typical sibling rivalry) but during the summer when they all have to spend much time together its like they are all siblings instead of being cousins and it gets crazy. They thought I might let the older 4 go out in the pool today after BD2 was put down for her nap and there was a big hell no from me. You guys cant mind inside the house Im deff not going to trust you outside while im in here doing house chores. Love them all to pieces, I really do but today I cant wait for my bro-in-law to pick up his kids and hopfully DH wants to go in the pool with our kids and give mommy some much needed quiet 
Heres hoping!! lol

OMg...This cracked me up just
OMg...This cracked me up just thinking about trying to implement that. Ill give it a try but im not holding high hopes. I will catch one of them doing something and say why did you do that. Well SD told me to or nephew did it first. I catch myself sounding like my mother. If she told you to jump off a bridge would you do it? To which my BS (grrr) always smiles and says yes I would! but hey who knows maybe the tattler having to be in time out too might work. If it means I can get through bathroom time without interruption Ill try just about anything! lol. A little tmi there I know but seriously that's when it irritates me the most!
oh yeah my Wednesdays are
oh yeah my Wednesdays are like that too, I have SD, SS, BS and my BFFs 2 girls and sometimes my nieces to. Its like a circus sometimes. They tattle non stop until i tell them if no one is going to get hurt quit tattling unless you would like a time out along with them. it stops them for a little but they are all old enough to know better. Hang in there. its tough when they are little but supposedly when they grow up being so close through the years the will be closer as a family, at least thats what my mom says when i talk to her about the kids at my house. She was a SAHM and all my brothers sisters and cousins ran around together nad we are all best friends now. Here's to hoping right?
Yeah I hear ya. I come from a
Yeah I hear ya. I come from a huge family and we were all close and all the cousins hung out at my grandmothers a lot so now most of us are still really close which is great! And honestly I think its good for SD in particular. She doesn't see BMs family as far as I know cuz (go figure) BMs mother did the same things to her growing up that BM is now doing to SD and she hates her and doesn't want her doing the same shit with SD. (don't worry BM you have the crazy being flooded all over SD taken care of). I guess she doesn't have much in the way of cousins and such from her stepfather's side either. Some days though I just want to duck tape them to something! Cant wait for school to start back up again. When its just BD and nephew its not so bad. They like to watch the same things and they are on a closer playing level if the others aren't here with 100 different ideas that no one can agree on. They just asked me again like 10 mins ago if they can go in the pool. Im like REALLY? NO! Don't ask again. Try for a better day tomorrow and we shall see. I swear they forget what I say to them 2mins later.
Tomorrow i will be just like
Tomorrow i will be just like this for me. But i think i have it planned very well for my sanity. Im going to take them to our local library which is holding a kids movie day. they can do that or read books, play, or play on the kids computers in the library. i did this a few weeks ago too and man was it a breeze. 3 kids watched a movie in theater, ( they have teens that volunteer for school credit helping with these events) and me SD sat and read our books, SS played on the computers.
Hmmm some interesting ideas
Hmmm some interesting ideas here
Its funny I was just thinking of playing the quiet game, but I think at this point they all get that that's a game for parents and not so much fun for the kids...lol. I tried to bribe them with the pool again but that's not working out so well. Today is going better though. Mostly they are just loud which is better then fighting. Id send them outside to play but its so damn hot and humid here today no one can stand it outside the AC. They really dont like the new rule that the one who tattles also gets punished unless someone got seriously hurt or something important got broken (no that doesn't not include trash getting ripped which my BS flips out over-hes such a hoarder!) The count down for 5:30 is on and just my kids/skid tomorrow-thank God!
