Home With the Kids and Caterpillars

Today I am enjoying motherhood.  I have my three nieces visiting from Texas.  They have been occupied all morning by catching caterpillars.  They have caught over 10.  I just hope they turn into butterflies and not some unattractive moth.  My husband has been out of town most of the week and during this time Mac and Cheese for dinner is a nice reprieve.  Yesterday, my son was carrying in the groceries and one of the bag ripped open.  The largest glass bottle of olive oil was smashed all over the driveway.  In these types of occurrences, I like to first make sure my son survived.  We looked at his foot and got it all patched up.  Then it was cleaning up the mess!  All the days work of a busy mother of six.  I love motherhood, yet at night when my head hits the pillow I am ready for some dreams.
