I often feel like I have to have a reason for my tiredness (or maybe an excuse). I try to explain away my tiredness to my husband, friends or even my kids. Tonight during dinner I was probably staring at the wall (I can't remember for sure), and my daughter asked me, "Mom, are you tired?". Then she asked, "WHY!?" For once, I didn't even feel like I could explain. So, tonight I decided to come to some conclusions about my tired state. Here it goes.
The top 10 reasons why Mommy is tired tonight:
1. She was up twice during the night with her two year old who couldn't find his Binky (we really need to get rid of that thing!).
2. She was up at the crack of dawn with two boys who decided at 5:30 it was time to wake up.
3. She didn't have any caffeine.
4. She chased her two year old around the house trying to catch him to change his diaper.
5. She wrestled with her 5 year old (he is very strong).
6. She went up and down the stairs 500 times (sure felt like it).
7. She went for a walk with the kids.....helped the kids climb a tree in the forest.
8. She made a dinner that was a flop (in my opinion).
9. She put away 500 loads of laundry (okay...close to that).
10. She tried to keep the house some what clean in the midst of it all.
I really am tired tonight. I know there are many others out there that can relate. Maybe I better stop complaining and go to bed. =)
Good night!

Amen!!!! As Mommies, I think we will stay tired until they move out!!
I love your list. You are justified in being tired. Hmmm, I can relate to searching for lost pacifiers/binkies in the night and chasing down little boys for diaper changes. From what I've heard through the grapevine, you might be tired from the actual changing process, too. Again, I can relate.
I feel like I haven't seen you in too long. I hope you had a nice trip last weekend.
