WELL AS YOU MOM'S OUT THERE KNOW 2 YEAR OLDS NEVER MAKE THINGS SIMPLE ENOUGH, SO I GOT MY BAGS OUT OF THE TRUNK, GOT MY PURSE, MY DAUGHTERS BAG, MY WATER BOTTLE, AND SOME SHOES OUT OF THE CAR AND THEN ATTEMPTED TO GET MY DAUGHTER OUT, SHE HAD A STICKER BOOK IN HER HANDS (STICKERS EVERYWHERE!)  AND DID NOT WANT TO LEAVE IT IN THE CAR, SO I SAID FINE TAKE IT IN THE HOUSE, THEN I MANAGED TO GET ALL THREE GROCERY BAGS, A BAG OF DIAPERS AND IN THE OTHER HAND TWO PURSES, AND MY TENNIS SHOES, AND TOLD MY DAUGHTER LETS GO IN THE HOUSE COME ON, WELL SHE STARTED CRYING AND INSISTED I CARRY HER, INSTEAD I GOT BEHIND HER AND STARTED NUDGING HER TOWARD THE FRONT DOOR, SHE PROTESTED AND THREW HER STICKER BOOK IN THE LAWN, AND I HAD TO PUT DOWN ALL OF MY GROCERY BAGS TO PICK HER UP, MEANWHILE SHE IS SCREAMING MOMMY MOMMY, SO I WRESTLE HER ONTO MY HIP, BAGS STILL LOADING THE OTHER ARM AND IM FUMBLING THE KEYS TO GET THE DOOR UNLOCKED WHILE SHE IS CRYING IN MY EAR, AND I THOUGHT ABOUT UPCOMING MOTHERS DAY, AND I THOUGHT AND THEY ONLY GIVE US ONE DAY FOR THIS? HAHA!

SHE HAS STILL NOT TAKEN A NAP, SHE IS IN HER BED YELLING FOR ME TO COME GET HER! HA WELL WE MOM'S SHOULD BE CALLED BY OUR REAL NAME'S MORE OFTEN "SUPERWOMEN" DONT CHA THINK? 

SO HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO ALL YOU SUPERWOMEN OUT THERE!!

Geeze, I'm exhausted just reading about your afternoon.  I thought Motherhood was supposed to be like this, .  Something has gone horribly wrong in your fairy tale!

Well SuperWoman, I hope for your sake that she's not still in there yelling for you to come and get her.    in spite of your children!

Wow, reading it made me tired too!  You must be exhausted all the time.  I hope you have a wonderful, relaxing, happy mother's day in Newport Beach.

 Thank you ladies, I cant Wait!! she finally feel asleep! and then it was time to do homework with the other two and make dinner! a mothers work is never done! but I wouldn't trade it for the world!

Wow! you ARE a superwoman.
I only have one and he's 36 in 2 months, so I will say it should get easier eventually, though in our case it took quite a while.
He is taking me to a Mother's Day brunch for the first time. When he was little I used to take him out for brunch on Mother's Day (single mom, no DH to celebrate the day). Now he is going to buy and then come over and help with some chores around my house. I guess I did something right all those years ago.

It's amazing - in a few years you'll look back and treasure those moments and wonder how your kids grew up so quickly.

Enjoy your Mother's day weekend getaway.

Have a great day and try to rest on Sunday...you earned it!
