Apr. 8, 2008 - Quiet Time/Nap Time
Every day I try to have a quiet time during the middle of the day...this time used to be called nap time, but Chloe and Noah no longer take naps, so recently we started calling it Quiet Time (time to be quiet by yourself so my mommy can have a little quiet time too)...usually during this time I watch a little TV while I nurse and then read a little bit). Today has not been quiet, it started with Chloe and Noah wanting to watch TV instead of being in their rooms by their self, so I said ok, only a few minutes later to hear that Noah is climbing up and down my 6 ft headboard on my bed...so then they want a snack, so I give them carrots, after eating I send Noah to his room and let Chloe watch Mission Organization....few minutes later Noah is back in here wanting me to fix a broken toy, Chloe is coming back in here to let me know her show is off, Jonah is screaming wanting to nurse AGAIN, and now Chloe is trying to explain to Noah that it does not matter that his man is broken and has no legs and 1/2 his arm is gone, it doesn't really matter she explains, you can use him as a baby now(Noah is pitching a little fit about toy at this point)...,anyway, I am trying to finish up my popcorn and a chapter of "Homeschooling with a Meek and Quiet Spirit" (I have already watched a little bit of TV and turned it OFF), while all this is going on, remember Jonah is still screaming....the kids go to Noah's room and I hear something that sounds like it might turn into a fight (they are not being quiet), so what do I do ....I press PAUSE on my remote control to the TV. YEP you heard me right I pressed PAUSE on the remote...it did not work!!! lol The funny thing is, it took me a second to realize I just tried to pause my crying baby so I could hear my other children.
IF only we could press a pause button once in a while!! Well I gotta get back to life, Jonah is screaming again, and Chloe and Noah are being loud, while Zoey is still asleep, I would really appreciate it if I could get everything calmed down a bit so Zoey could finish her nap!! But wait, Noah just screamed so I need to check on him before I get Jonah!!
