Its OFFICIAL!

I am crazy!
I am just babbling at the walls!
Nobody listens!
My husband even walks out of the room when I start talking!
The children are called by a combined phrase of names that do not necessarily exist-
BayKel KelBay PayJayce JayPey - I have even heard Kerryne call Satan-- actually wanting Peyton! So maybe its a good thing that nobody listens!
The feeling is similar to the Christmas morning feeling! The kids are overjoyed- total excitement overload! The house is a disaster- with no hope of being straightened in the near future- the adults are exhausted due to the endless energy of the children!
Somehow I think we will manage to truly enjoy the time we have together and when they all leave it will be the after Christmas feeling- the bummer, so sad, why did it have to end feeling!
For now- babbling at the walls is beginning to feel rather normal! When I do escape home alone- I become dangerously silly! I went to Maceys to pick up some groceries- all by myself- I felt so lucky! Grandma and Grandpa had invited Jayce to play with them at their house and everyone else was gone- so I am at Maceys with my grocery cart and I am singing in my head one of our new pre-school songs- Skip around the rosie- and I find myself skipping with my cart down the isle. I would have been very embarrassed had there been an audience- but the only spectator was a cute little old man who smiled and seemed to understand! Still- I think I will avoid the public alone! When you sing and skip and babble with children- you seem normal! Alone- that's a different story!

I am not sure if I even dare go in public with you... you might embarass me. Maybe it is a good thing that we switch off with the kids, that way no one has to pretend like we don't know each other. Hee heee heeee! Love you

Hang in there! I get that way when I'm alone and I don't have the chaos at my house. Okay, I do have some chaos, but not as much as you guys! Call me when you want to skip down the isles of Macey's again. I will be there in a heartbeat.

Just a bit of insight....
I KNOW for a fact that Macey's has really good security cameras AND the security enjoy watching tapings... over and over and over....
But don't worry - they will only show it in corporate meetings a few times... ok - maybe for a long time - but hey! YOU MADE SOMEONES DAY!!! That is all that matters!!! Ok - SEVERAL someone's days!!! LOL!!!
I LOVE YOU!!!!
You make me smile too!! And you make my day all the time!!

SURE DO MISS YOU GUYS!
