Why is it that my house is totally silent and then 30 seconds after I answer my phone it's total chaos?! Just once I would like to have a conversation on the phone without a screaming child in the background. Isn't it bad enough that I can't use the bathroom alone or that I have to hide somewhere if I want to eat a cookie by myself. Now I have to end a conversation early to say things like, stop punching your brother, get that out of your mouth or stop sitting on your baby sister.
I'm trying to hold on for the days when all of my children will be in school and I will have some peace and quiet to do all the things I miss, like being alone in the bathroom, shopping without having to stop for potty breaks every 5 minutes, talking on the phone and the best of all reading a book without being interrupted every 3 sentences.
The future better hold some peace and quiet or someone will find me tied up with my children dancing circles around me while taunting me with books I haven't been able to read and threatening to stay at home until they are in their 30's.

Vomit Chronicles
So far this year we have spent most of 2013 with someone in our household of 5 vomiting. Normally we get sick, it makes a round through the house and done. Not so much this year. This year has been filled with vomit from December up until now. I think there have been maybe a total of 2 weeks that we've been free and clear of illness.
With that being said I am curious as to why my children will sneak into my room at 5:30 am like wild animals stalking their pray to ask Daddy to snuggle up with him. But when they come in at 5:30 am wanting me it's a steady stream of frantic tears and usually ends with me cleaning vomit off of some random surface of my home.
Can't they sneak in and bring us breakfast like the kids on the cereal commercials? Or just sneak in and go to sleep? Does it always have to be vomit? Apparently this is the way of life with small children. What's that saying, when life gives you lemons make lemonade? I guess for me it's more like when life gives you vomit, dig a trough.
