Boy am I glad I don't have five kids!!! My sister had an emergency arise, and I am now responsible for her 3 children for the afternoon. It's amazing how much you do NOT get done when there are kids running around a small 2 bedroom apartment!
As my oldest runs around, playing with his toys, I realize out of all 5 of the kids, he is the loudest and most out of control. He doesn't see his cousins much and loves it whenever he gets a "surprise" visit from them! Oh how I wish I wasn't so busy so I could take the time to go visit his cousins - after all he has 25 of them! Of course, I would have to visit Texas, Oklahoma, and two cities in North Carolina in order for him to see all of them. Half of them he's never met and probably when he does meet them, will never get to know them because they aren't around enough for him to do so.
But, back to the business at hand..I thought having 2 kids in diapers was hard...try having 3 kids in diapers, one who is a chatter-box (which I LOVE most the time), and one who just sits on the couch the entire time as though sulking about the fact that her parents aren't around.
I'm a busy mom but never too busy to help out my family...hopefully this is a good lesson for some!
