Mommy at 6 pm

Here's what I look like at the end of a long day in mommyland. Notice the scraggly hair and dazed expression. What you can't see is the jumble of toys, crackers, cheerios, books, and rejected clothing that's piled knee-high all around me. I hear these are the best times of my life - but that's only from people whose children are all grown and wiping their own bottoms, as well is living on their own and holding down jobs, etc. But, yes, it's true, these are good times, despite my being in charge of the bowel movements of two people other than myself. No, really, these are the good times, but being a mom is hard! I love my kids like crazy - and I go a little crazy trying to keep up with them. Melissa
