I seem to be having this reoccurring problem in my house. I usually get home from picking Rae up around 3:15 3:20. I get everyone a snack. Then it seems to be endless "I Wants" I usually start getting dinner going after snack time. During this time No one will get along. So someone is constantly coming to me in the kitchen saying " so and so did this to me" !!! I don't want to cook dinner anymore, it has become dinner impossible!! Lonnie usually doesn't get home until after dinner.
So then after I finally get it cooked and ready...I start getting plates made up. I set them each a salad on the table. (of course they all have to have something separate. I can't just make one salad and they all eat it. I make it and pick out of each of theirs what they don't like). I get everyone at the table to start eating salad while I finish their plates. I get all of that done and get my own plate fixed and sit down.
Then someone will say " I need..................." Whatever it may be I get up and get their seconds or more drink or whatever it is. I sit down and Nathan dumps his water all over the table and it starts leaking on my lap. So again I have to get up and get a towel to dry this up. Then Ashton says he is not going to eat and hides behind the couch!! FINE!! I don't want to argue with him. I just want to eat before the food gets cold.
I sit down again. Then I remember that I have bread in the oven. I get up to get it out, cut it up and serve it!!
Awesome. I get to sit down and eat!! Then Ashton hollers from the bathroom "needing" help, well he chants this " mom come wipe my butt,come wipe my butt, come wipe my butt" in a deep voice until I get there. I get that done. Wash my hands.
Finally I get to sit down and eat my COLD dinner. By that time everyone has asked to be excused and I get to eat alone!!(sad)
Happy Thanksgiving
