A Woe is Me Moment...

....actually, I just thought I'd share this story for all mom's out there, and well, to anyone who has had to care for little ones. If you don't care to read all this, feel free to scroll down!

We had an A-typical evening last night. It was our last soccer practice AND a Scouting night. Tim was home sleeping and getting ready for a night shift so I was solo mom for our activities, no biggie, I do that all the time. The fun starts when we get home. It was late and all of us are tired. Late, meaning it was after 8:30 when got home and the boys are usually in bed by 8pm. Oh, and the baby didn't nap, so he is reallllly cranky. When we come in the big boys go straight upstairs to get jammies on, Nicholas is standing in the laundry room and says, "mommy, I pee'd!" He soaks the carpet, his clothes, his coat since it was on the floor were he was standing. Ugh! Now I have to do a load of laundry at 9 pm. The night continues....I get them all in bed by 9. Ahhhh, I settle down on the couch with a glass of wine and the DVR all to myself after I put the load of clothes in the wash.

About 30 minutes later I hear incessant coughing (Joshua had been sick over the weekend with cold-like symptoms). I know he is up out of bed as I'm walking up stairs I hear SPLAT. He is inches from the toilet and manages to throw up all over the floor. So, now I'm scrubbing a bathroom floor and changing his clothes and then end up having to strip his bed and put clean sheets and a blanket on his bed. It's 9:45 and I have to change out the wet clothes to the dryer, fold the towels that were in the dryer from yesterday, AND start another load of laundry. I sit back down on the couch for 2 minutes and then hear Nicholas crying for me. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?????? He was fine, just needed a little back patting to get him back to sleep, since he was over tired. He was just restless. It was one LONG hour and a half, with much more house work than I cared to do at 9 pm at night! It's tough being a mom, I tell ya! lol!

Okay, so now on to my card. You might think it a little odd, but it did turn out rather cute. It is a Halloween Anniversary card.

A friend I've met over in the MFT forum is celebrating her 3rd Anniversary and she posted a little challenge on her blog with some awesome blogcandy! Her Anniversary is on Halloween, hence the theme of my card. Here's a detailed shot.
If you want to play along, here's the link to LaToya's blog. Thanks for stopping by today. I've got a cute soccer card to share tomorrow! Hugs, Lisa
