Is this what being a Mom really is???

7:00am Wake up and get dresses, go to the bathroom, brush teeth
7:00am Deal with kid that woke up early, woke up siblings and climed over gate to get downstairs and into mischief
7:15am Make lunches and feed kids breakfast
7:20am Stop an argument between 2 kids, scream at top of lungs to be heard, tell one child (for the 5th time) to put something away
7:30am Shovel front porch, stairs and walk path to street for kids to go to the bus
7:45am Come back in to an argument, break it up and tell them to get ready for school
8:00am Short break (with no time to rest)
8:05am Get kids ready for bus and start watching for it.
8:15am Bus is running late thanks to snow, spent past 10 minutes listening to kids arguing and fighting.
8:20am Bus still not here. Middle child picking on youngest. Oldest complaining about having to wait.
8:45am Bus finally arrives after 25 minutes of arguing kids. I finally get to sit and rest while youngest watched a show.
