I just got done watching another episode of 24. The show is nonstop, but the whole family bit doesn’t work for me. Anyway, my eyes are heavy. Pre 24 I was with some girlfriends from high school. The new house was amazing and it was packed full of energy. There were 9 kids there, with the oldest being in second grade. It was great to hear them laughing and watching them running. There was also screaming and crying, but I can tune that out pretty good.
I always marvel at how many gears mothers must have. One friend has 4 kids, her sister has 3. And it is always go go go. One kid is screaming for Mommy while another is crying because they fell down. Just watching all of it made me worn out. But they don’t get a break. All day, every day, mom has to be on. Typically, there is no football breaks or golf outings. Mom is on point 24/7. They have to kick into new gears for whatever presents itself. I got to hop in my car and hit the road. They had to load up child after child. I can’t imagine how dead ass tired that parents have to be. But what I can imagine is how awesome it would be to have little you’s running around. I guess I’ll experience that some day
