Mammmmaa!

Yup-That's me. Many of you know I run a Full time Photography business (6-10 sessions a week and 35-40 hours), As well as watch a friend of mine's children once in a while. I also volunteer for an organization that takes images for deathly ill and children in heaven. I am active in my children's school activities as well as girl scouts and helping with quite a few church activities. So finding time for me, is well, Impossible. So tonight after a session, The kids are upstairs getting ready for bed so I think I can sit for 2 whole minutes without a "Mamma" being yelled.
So I make me a cup of tea and head for the front room. "Mamma,-I can't find my Pull-up" Yells Savana. SO I help her.
Come back down stairs and grab my cup. Head for the front room, grab the remote and plop my bottom onto the couch. "Mamma" Where's my pink shirt?" Closet Abby..... I tell her. (she picks out her clothes the night before so I can inspect and make changes by morning. It works easier that way)
So I settle back onto the couch and turn the tv on. By now my tea is cold. Turn the TV on and hear "Mamma, She hit me." so I say forget it, turn the tv off and head upstairs. gathered all 3 girls up on 1 single twin size bed and we read 3 books. Each 1 gets to pick a book for me, and Yes-They pick the longest they can find. "read mine first, no mine, No mine, I'm oldest. I'm Youngest" "Mamma, I said it first" So I pick a number between 1 and 10. Read the books in order, and tuck them all into bed. Give each one 2 kisses and 3 hugs and go back and give Abby an extra. "mamma, Mine wear off quicker so I need more" She says. "Mamma' I need water, I gotta go potty" "Momma I am hot" 11 Mamma's Later and they are all ready for bed. I say I love you and goodnight and shut off the light. Head down to heat up my tea and head for the living room. Plop my bottom down on the couch and reach for the remote. "Mamma???"

Well I guess it will be just like any other night on this year
No tv for Mamma!
but I love every minute of it!
