Please Help Stop This Reign of Terror

We have recently received reports of a small bandit, who runs around leaving destruction in her wake. Please review the following pictures and help us stop this reign of terror.


As you can see, this bandit is quite destructive. Nothing is safe. She loves to snatch and raid purses of all size and color. If I were you, I'd go check to make sure mine was safe. No, really. You should check.


Yet another gruesome scene we have captured. This shows that no place is safe from this destructive force. She can and will conquer every defense with ease.



Here is a picture of the bandit fleeing the scene. The photographer took this at great peril to her life. When cornered, this bandit is vicious. (see next pic)




Please do not attempt to stop this bandit. She takes no prisoners. She is easily agitated and lets out a high pitched screech when someone gets in her way. (No evidence yet on if this screech is lethal, although eye-witnesses have been known to cover ears and run in terror)


Caught in the act yet police were not able to apprehend the suspect. They were too busy cleaning up the mess.


And while they were distracted, the bandit moved to her next victim; a pile of freshly folded laundry. It doesn't look freshly folded you say? Well, it was.

And while this report was being written, yet another incident was reported. A container of beads was discovered, opened and strewn across an entire room. No photos are available at this time.

If you see this suspect, give her what she demands and leave the scene immediately (if it's safe to do so). Also, please take great care in protecting your laundry piles, shoes, purses, plastic garbage bags, beads, and diapers. These are the most likely of victims and scenes of crime. She also likes cats and anything else she senses she isn't suppose to play with.

Together we can stop this.

God's Little Princess

So I just had to blog about this. At the end of the day I am usually tired and worn out and have listened to loads of whining and crying, kissed many boo-boos, wiped a lot of tears and bottoms. I've cooked three meals and cleaned up after them (if I'm lucky). I've done laundry, dishes, swept, played games, done school and read many stories. By the end of the night I am a little low on patience. Actually if truth be told, by the time 7 rolls around, you better not mess with me. So tonight was bath night which adds an extra element of stress to an already dragging Mommy. I am getting Rayelle out of the shower and trying to be patient. She is taking her time, as little girls often do and I was getting angry. As I am just about to start snapping at her to hurry up, she pulls on her pj shirt and it says, "God's Little Princess." At that moment I stop. I almost started crying. A feeling of great love washed over me that I was entrusted with one of God's little princesses (actually 2). He loves her and is always patient with her no matter how much she pokes around. Just like He's patient with me when I am slow to do things He has told me to do. It's just funny how God sometimes gives us little hints and sometimes He gives us huge signs. I hope I will always remember that my kids are God's little princesses and prince and I should treat them with care.

My Greatest Accomplishments

So I decided to make a list of all of my greatest accomplishments. Some are serious but don't worry, most aren't. However, I have accomplished all of these at least once. I promise.

1. Got dressed before noon. (I know! Noon! Can you believe it!)

2. Had 3 kids naturally. (ouch)

3. Made it through the day in only one change of clothes (no vomit, pee, or poop!)

4. Told a kid , NO! and they actually listened!

5. Only changed 6 diapers in one day (I swear. I'm not lying)

6. Had an adult conversation without using the words potty, boo-boo, or poopy

7. Slept in until 7:30 am (I thought I was in heaven)

8. Slept through the night (and you thought it was only an accomplishment for babies!)

9. Went major shopping with 3 kids in under 3 hours without any catastrophes, accidents, apocalypses, or natural/unnatural disasters taking place.

10. Heard the word "Mommy" less than 10,000 times in an hour

11. Kept one baby and two kids entertained for an hour in the waiting room without adding any gray hair!

12. Went pee without someone walking in or standing at the door saying, "Mommy, what are you doing in there? Are you done yet?"

13. Played Candy Land 12 times in a row (and never won).

And the finale....

14. Bathed three kids, got them ready for bed, with stories, kisses and prayers in under 10 minutes.

Thank you thank you! No please, no more applause. I know it's astonishing but every word I said was true. I promise.
