first of all i love my kids sooo much, there is no doubt that i totally enjoy being with them. but sometimes i must hide from them (= a while back i posted something funny about moms and needing to hide from the kids, i thought it was funny when i read it, but then i realized how stinkin true it is!

during the day if they are playing by themselves i try to sneak away or quietly do something nearby. i cannot ever sit at the dining table or on the couch to read a book to myself, that is unheard of! or folding laundry in the living room or organizing. the kitchen doesnt bother them so much, as long as i am a busy bee they dont bother me, but once we make eye contact then the whining starts! i usually must be out of site for them to not be interested in me. so if they come barreling down the hall waving books in the air, i calmy leap over the gate and hide between the closet doors till they pass.....or if i am brave i sneak into my room (which is right by their door) and clean or something.... but our door handles are so noisy i rarely get away with that one.

it just cracks me up that i literally hide from my children!
