1. Your sons says he wants to have a friend come for a sleepover, only to realize that the "friend" has four legs, is furry, and whistles...yes whistles at the butt crack of dawn when he wants to get breakfast. Yes, that's right, my son was asked to have the honors of taking care of the class pet over the weekend. Cooper the guinea pig has graced us with his presence the last TWO weekends.
2. You're trying to make dinner and two of your children run outside with out socks and shoes on (it's been freezing at night) when the neighbors pulled up, the youngest (who is sick) can't go outside so decides to climb onto kitchen counter and yell "HI" out the window at everyone with her little froggy voice. The door was left freakin' wide open, hubby is no where to be found, and you look over and see that our "guest" Cooper the guinea pig is just chillin' under the Christmas tree. Yep, it's an insane asylum here and the inmates are running it.
3. You find it amazing that in all your career as a mother not once has a little thing like being sick stop you from taking care of kids and things around the house. In fact, I remember getting strep throat 1 day after coming home from the hospital with a new baby. I nursed and took care of a new baby, a 3 year old, and the hubs was not around (because he started a new job, but still). However, it's a whole different story when the hubs gets sick. You know, the guy hardly ever gets sick, but the dude gets a cold...a cold and it might as well be H1N1. He was pathetic. I think the kids are less cranky when they have a cold.
And Finally,
4. Your 7 yr. old son is shreiking because the 3 yr. old is taunting him with a "moth". She's on the step waving the "moth" in front of him, hence not allowing him access to his beloved tractors upstairs. You go to investigate the situation only to find your son almost near tears, convinced that lil' Miss Thing has a moth in her hand. You ask her what the heck is actually in her hand and she says, "Oh mom it's not a moth it's just cwrap!" Sure enough, it was indeed just "cwrap", a piece of old tape that at first glance did indeed look like a moth or some type of bug. Now I deal with the fact that my little girl seems to be 3 going on 13 with the special talent of being able to easily taunt and tease her older brother, not to mention her colorful vocabulary skills!!

When my husband gets even just a headache, he says he is "sick" and he acts like he is on his death bed. When I have a headache, no one will ever know because I just keep going on with my day and I don't say anything b/c I don't consider myself "sick." Men. Weenies.
We must live in the same house because that highly resembles the chaos in my house!
You know you have Mama Drama when you put up the Christmas tree only to have your two year old start handing you everything you have just put on the tree.
I like this post..it's absolutely my life. (most of it) ... except in number 4.... 8 yr old son is taunting his 16 yr old sister with his dirty hands..and she's shrieking at the top of her lungs...

Hope your class pet is back safe and sound where it belongs...In the CLASS! I hate being responsible for those little creatures!
OMG LMAO your kids slay me Di...and hey at least the class pet was chillin' and didn't like run out the door....could you imagine explaining THAT?
Oh my...so many joyful moments to look forward to, LOL! Sounds like a fun-filled house to me.
My Hub is rarely sick and when he is, its as if he is not. BRAVO!!!!
And I love that Cooper just chills under the tree and watches the shenanigans.
My husband gets sick all the time and he can't do anything, but I never get to do nothing.
