Am I just insane?

So here I am, 15 weeks pregnant with my sixth child and I am wondering how did this happen.  I mean, I know how "it happened" but I swear never in my dreams did I ever believe I would be the mother to six children and a step son.  Currently my kids' ages range from 20 years to 2 years.  If feels like all I have done with my entire life is mother children.  I was hoping to get to that point where you send the kids of to school and do whatever you want.  Oh well, I will just have to enjoy the little things in life like Ruby refusing to wear anything but a dress, Alora dumping out the crayons and drawing on anything she can find, and shortly listening to the cry of a newborn baby every two hours.  Life unexpected sometimes is the greatest.

IT'S ONLY 10:05AM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So here it is only 10:05am and already this is my day.  Ruby got into my scrapbook stuff on the table while I was cleaning up breakfast.  She was happily cutting and stickering away on the props I was making for my new calling at church (primary music leader).  After saving my supplies, my "mommy sense" started tingling and I found Alora in the bathroom with cups dipping into the toilet.  There was water everywhere and I am pretty sure she ingested some, so now wondering if I should call poisen control.  I grabbed Alora and got her changed, cause she was soaked, and then came downstairs to find Ruby dumping the DVD's off the shelf again.  So I gave the girls some crackers to help keep them distracted as I moved the DVD's to a new location.  Well that was a mistake.  Came back to crackers all over the carpet and had to vacuum.  While I was vacuuming the girls went upstairs (I had told Ruby to get dressed).  Ruby was jumping on my bed and Alora was in my bathroom doing, yep you guessed it, playing in toilet water.  So another clothing change later we are now downstairs and I am typing this while they are fighting over toys and watching the movie "Cars".  I am exhausted and it's now only 10:13AM!!!!!!!!!!!
