Oy.

27 kids
4 loads of laundry waiting to be put away
3 atomic bombs that have gone off in my house (G's room, N's room, and the kids bathroom)
9,102 things to do for school
dust 1 inch high on every surface of my house
grass in the backyard...up to my knees...that we didn't plant and don't have a lawn mower to get rid of
did I mention 27 kids
4 hours too few of sleep each night
a freezer stuffed to the gills but with nothing to make for supper
enough crumbs on the kitchen floor to feed Remy and all his family (think Ratatouille) 
a wall that needs painting
shelves that need building
floors that need cleaning
27 kids
lessons that need planning
a laundry room that needs de-cluttering
a van that needs washing
papers to cut
papers to laminate
pictures to print
names to cut
a school newsletter that needs writing
27 kids
sub plans that need writing (3 days worth, yikes!)
and one tired mama that is already dreaming of labor day weekend


in my next life I am going to have an assistant
