A Taste of Crazy

It seems lately I am late for E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G.!!!  I can't keep my head on straight! I will leave the house, get down the road and realize I left something and have to turn around or I just simply can't get out of the house on time for the life of me? On days that we have therapy, I seriously feel like I am running around the house like a crazed lunatic until the time I dash out the door. I seriously have too much going on and I'm always in a chaotic rush~ So, what do I do to add to the crazy??? Decide to homeschool my 7th grader ALONG with my 11th grader! Yes, this is a taste of my crazy...and to add another adoption... A Taste of Crazy!

Some days I feel like resigning to my bosses (AKA...my kids) =)
It's those days when I am in my chaotic rush( 6 days out of 7) when we have 3 therapies a day, Dr. visits on top of that, baseball practice for 2 hrs, grocery shopping, paying bills, cleaning house, cleaning up throw up, wiping a dirty bum, being a referee between the kids b/c all I hear is "Mom, Landen is getting on my nerves" , Landen screaming "mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, on and on and on", phone calls making f/u appts for Landen, trying to get everything ready for homeschooling 2 kids, cleaning up toilet paper in the bathroom or plunging the toilet b/c Landen just likes to take toilet paper and flush it in the potty, cleaning up cereal that Landen got out of the cupboard and decided to dump on the floor and kick it all around.. Need I go on? It's those days that I want to resign! So here is my letter of resignation~

08/14/2012
Name: Tosh Black
Position: Doer of EVERYTHING

Dear Sirs and Madam, (Lexi, Zach, and Landen)

I am writing this letter to inform you of my decision to resign from my current position. I have reached this decision after a very long prayer and after our inability to communicate effectively and my ongoing frustration as manager of this establishment (The Black's House) because of the fact that no one seems to hear a word that I say...EVER!!

I have worked for you for ..going on 17 yrs now and will continue to work for you until you can find an adequate replacement that is willing to work for free and meet your unending demands requests! (Good luck with that) I am hopeful that you will find someone that can handle the constant fits, writing on the walls, unending messes, food spills, talking back from teenagers, constant friends over at the house, and constant travel that this job requires... etc, etc, etc.

I am taking away with me some important things that I have learned from working here including how to not pull my hair out patience, almost cursing under my breath communication skills, and removing ink from the leather couch, problem solving skills.

Thank you for this opportunity to be abused serve this Company (The Blacks)

I will end this letter without saying anything else b/c One of you is pulling at my pants leg and screaming "mom, up!" and needs to be changed or fed or bathed or I need to clean up the newly spilled fruit loops on the floor!

(Before anyone gets their panties in a bunch, I don't want to resign from my job as a mom, this was meant to be sarcastic so please don't write me and tell me that I shouldn't be adopting another child if I can't handle the 3 that I already have)

Sincerely,

Mom of 3 and soon to be 4!

(No, this is not me but how I feel!)
