Big families can't have a quiet day at home. Between swimming, hockey, and dance there is no such thing as a Saturday sleep in at our house anymore. Even so, I thought after the activities were done for the day that we could just relax today. And then.. Em and I decided to make a cheese cake, which only led to fighting about why everyone couldn't help (I am in desperate need of a more spacious kitchen if I ever want to keep sane while baking with all the kids!). And then... my niece came over, because really what is the difference between 5 and 6 kids? (Nothing for the record.) And then... there was fighting over who should be playing with who and why they had to do homework on their long weekend. And then... my brother-in-law came in when he was picking up his daughter and everyone had to fight over him. Are you sensing a pattern here?
There was a lot of fighting today. And that made me very anxious which makes me crave quiet even more. But big families can't have a quiet day at home. There are just too many of us!
And as much as that makes me crazy some days.. once everyone is asleep and I am finally able to enjoy a moment of silence? I miss the noise and the fighting and the laughing and the snuggles! Maybe quiet days at home are overrated <3
