La La La..... Not listening.

Today nobody sleeps. I relish in naptime. Whether it's working out, reading or vegging it's about the only "me" time I get all day. So when my boys boycott we all suffer, because as we all know if mommy is not happy, NOBODY is happy.
Aside from my frustrations at this moment, I am very happy in my life. We have more than we need to get by, I enjoy my children (at some point) every day, we are in a place to help Shelle and Aaron out while he's away training (it also gives me a chance to get close to my favorite redhead), Jer and I seem more in touch with each other than ever, baby Miriam is growing like a wee little weed, and summer in AZ is coming to a close. Yes life is pretty good. Oh wait, then there's "the girls". No not Emily and Miriam, but the dynamic duo in the backyard. Lady and Urbn are little by little eating my backyard up. Yesterday Urbn literally ate a piece off the playset. Boredom I assume. And yes, just as the rest of the homes inhabitants' mental health seems to fall on mommy, as does the well being of our four legged fury friends. So she and I will embark on a walk at least once, maybe twice a day. Perhaps as the weather permits we can engage in even more activity that will persuade her to NOT dine on my plants. They can't taste very good so I am left to assume it is a personal attack on me.
So lets tally...... my job duties to date are:
Maid, Chef, Nanny, Teacher, Tailor, Chauffeur, Gardener, Handy Man, Nurse, Personal Assistant (to the hubby), Art director, Mistress (again for the hubby), Plumber, Recreation lead, Psycologist, Dairy cow, and now Dog Trainer. Man am I due for a raise!
