Manic Monday!

It's just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
'Cause that's my funday
An I-don't-have-to-run day
It's just another manic Monday
----The Bangles

Ahhhh remember the 80's! I loved this song. I still sing it in my head somedays, like today! Work was crazy today and then got home and the kids were crazy today. It's just another manic Monday.

These are the days I don't think I can do this. These are the days when I look at my house and see all the things I don't keep up on. Sorry June Cleaver I can't compete. The laundry is piling up, again. The dust bunnies are building bunny hutches, and toys are everywhere. These are just gentle (ok not so gentle) reminders of how human I really am. I should be up working, toiling away getting things done, but here I sit, blogging and watching the season finale of House. All the kids are still awake, apparently bedtime means NOTHING to them today and Emma Claire has pulled her hair out of its braids. Oh it's just another manic Monday.

I wish children came with instructions. I wish they had little pop up signs..."mommy do this and I will go to sleep" mommy do that and I will stop screaming." But alas, they don't come with pop up buttons or instructions. I just feels like I can't do this. How do I get things done? How do I find time to work and take care of the kids and the house and the laundry and so on and so on.

Funny thing is the child that is supposed to give me the most trouble is the one that in some ways DOES come with instructions. I know what to do when Seth throws a screaming, kicking, hitting fit in public. I know what to do when Seth hums and rocks. I have professional people that have helped me and will continue to help me deal with Seth's issues. While I feel overwhelmed by some of the stuff, so far I'm doing okay with Autism. I have a list of questions for the Daymar staff that is coming this week...I'm prepared and waiting for these upcoming appointments. Now if I can get everything else lined up!

I guess for now I take it a day at a time, and know that in 10 days schools out and I have all summer to do laundry! It's just another manic Monday!
