Nothing special

I just realized that I haven't been on in FOREVER. I feel as though this summer has just clogged up every fiber of my being. On one hand, I am LOVING it, and on the other, I would really really REALLY like a nap!! And, I would like my house to stay clean a little longer than 5 minutes. When the oldest is in school, the youner two entertain each other and when I pick something up, generally speaking, it stays that way until the end of the school day and I end up cleaning one more time just after the kids go to bed and before I get to go too.

Anyway.... I am compelled to tell you all how terrible of a mother I am. Yesterday, we had a wonderful 4th of July. We started out the day with waffles topped with blueberries, strawberries, and whipped cream (red white and blue). Then we went out and lit off a few little fireworks. You know, those boring daytime ones like snakes and snappers. Just to suffice the kids for a little while. Then we took off and went to Walmart to grab a few things. It was rather fast. I thought it would be packed and awful, but it really wasn't. We then came home to take naps. Side note: we told all of my husband's family to be here no earlier than 6 for food and fireworks. So, we laid down about 3 for naps and there was a knock at the door at FOUR. Ok.... so I was a little irate. Obviously, these people don't have kids. UUUGGGHHHHH. Anyhew, it was an alright night. The in laws irritate the crap out of me, but other than that, watching my kids doing fireworks and setting off the big fireworks for them was a LOT of fun. Why am I a bad mom? Because I got to the end of the night and realized..... I DIDN'T TAKE ONE SINGLE PICTURE ALL DAY!!! Can you even believe that?!?!? We spent over $100 in fireworks, not to mention what the in laws brought, and I didn't think in all that time to take a single picture?!?!? I'm sure there's a place for me when I cross over. :(

I hope you all had a great 4th. It's like Christmas in July for me. I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!
