Oh my friggin gosh!!!

I am sitting at the kitchen table with the kids trying to help them with their homework an also do mine when I realize that I did not turn in last weeks assignment, nor did I take the test. I got so caught up on another assignment that I got one week behind. Well I'll be damned if I allow this to happen again. I can not simultaneously do my homework and help them. It's to much going on at once. I was really ready to scream. My son want's attention on GP, my youngest daughter wants to read a book on their computer, but the start up is slow (old computer), I told her the start up was slow and to just wait but she persisted to come in the kitchen every 2 minutes to stop me from helping one of her sister's. Second oldest girls acts like she can't read. I even gave her the tablet so that she could look the words up in the dictionary app, but that became difficult cause she has a lisp and the tablet could not understand what she was saying. Oldest daughter had to use her spelling words to write a story and she argued me down on the use of the word "Present" saying it could be used as a greeting...ie. "Dear Present" no, no , no , no , no....UGH!!! Imagine all this going on while trying to create a chart in excel for a homework assignment. I keep losing my place and skipping steps......I need to slow this house way down!! They are eating and going to bed so that I can focus on getting my work done. Alrighty, just gave my son a bath who pooped in the toilet but neglected to call anyone to wipe him.....only after screaming for me for the 5 minutes it took for his sister to put him back on the toilet and run bath water. so....screaming 3/4 potty trained toddler, 3 ever questioning, arguing, back talking, rule breaking girls and one mother who wants to scream and run away from it all. My remedy, distraction!! One is making dinner, sent one to run her bath water and the other is reading a book online while her brother listens. This method is by no means fool proof! They are young and restless and know how to work a nerve. By the grace of God...I maintain!! Hoping to have them fed and in bed by 7:30......A glass of wine would be really nice right now. THIS is going to be a late night for me......Pray for me...PLEASE!!!
