5 kids in a line

  Okay so Matt was gone at a conference this last weekend.   It was the first time I had all the kids on my own since we went from 2 kids to 5 kids in a matter of 2 seconds.  So needless to say I am still alive.  It actually was really great.  I had some help come at times which was great.  So every Saturday morning I go to  Weight Watchers.  I am in the process of getting myself a hot body!!  So I knew it was going to be a good week on the scale so I really wanted to go weigh in.  So I got up and took all the kids to the meeting.  When we arrived there was a line of about 10 people ahead of me.  Now the meeting part had started so I was trying to keep everyone quiet while in line.  I was not going to stay for the meeting just weigh in.  So I am in line and people are seeing the triple stroller and the big boys and asking questions and causing a stir!  These are all examples of the fact that people noticed I was there.  They noticed that I was the only adult in my party.  They noticed that I had a lot of kids with me.  But not one person offered me a spot closer to the front of the line!  At first it was no problem because everyone was quiet.  But then after about 20 minutes the natives were getting restless.  Still no offers.  It was all of a sudden getting really hot in the room!!!  So then Morgan bolted out of the room.  I went really fast to grab him.  During the 3 seconds I was out of line it had become my turn and a lady went ahead of me.  Wow!  Awesome!  Really all I can say without being mad about it.  
   So here is the moral to my story.  If you see someone who is trying to doing something good but is needing a little help to make it easier then HELP!!!  
   My weigh in was great.  Worth the craziness.  I will be kidless at the meetings from now on!!

  4. I bet they were Christian women, too. Be sure to put that in your book when you write it. Have you ever thought of having your own reality show? The Real Real Housewife of Orange County
