Sprung?

I am so beyond finished with Spring Break.

Don't get me wrong. We have had some serious fun around this house. I purposely do not plan major trips on Spring Break simply because I really feel our kids have to relax and rejuvenate at home after the months of hard work at school...

Who am I kidding???????

I don't want to take my three kids anywhere because that is NO VACATION...........well, maybe for Jax and Binky and Pudgie and of course, Daddy...... but that is 5 times the work for this mommy and it just ain't happening right now.

Tonight we were all beyond exhausted. Jax is having his first sleep over at a friends house that is not one of our relatives. A big ..no.... HUGE step for this mommy. We all walk over to take Jax to Ruth's house and we start talking and the kids are playing and the next thing I know... poor Brinkley is sound asleep drooling on the couch pillows.

Way cool.........

Get Binx home and tucked in and go back to get Pudgie and of course he is now throwing a, "This is all your fault for making me; swim all day, only take a 45 minute nap, play on the waterslide, in the sandbox, run all over the grass, climb up and down the play structure while sliding down the slide and now, at 9:00 at night I can't have a fricken marshmellow" hellish kind of tantrum, since I need to get him to bed.

I get the munchie home and ready for bed and he chooses his big boy bed to sleep in. This is usually a fun ordeal for me.

NOT!!

We lay down and I seriously pray outloud that the next few days are smooth sailing because this mom just needs to be sprung from spring break. I am so done at this point. Then I told Pudgie in a whisper that it is ok to start using more big boy words

It was the sweetest thing in the world when he looked over at me and put his little chubby hand on my cheek and said, "Awww Mommma."

I CRIED!

He just jammed his finger in my eye and started laughing.
