Love, Laughter and Losing It

Ever have one of those days,... when all you could hope for is a conversation with someone taller than your waist, with a vocabulary that exceeds 1 word sentences? That's me today,... so here I am,... talking to the great unknown. For those of you that don't know what it's like to have 4 children under 8, and 2 babies a mere 13 months apart,... here is a sample of my daily conversations:

Me: "Don't sit on your sister!"
DD#2 : "Ok!" - as she proceeds to sit on her
Me: " I said DO NOT sit on your sister!"
DD#2: "Why?"
Me: " You're going to give her an owie if you sit on her."
DD#2: " Oh!" - as she rolls off of her 1 yr old sister and steals the toy she has, causing a ear piercing screaming match.
Me: " Don't take your sisters toy, that's not nice. You need to share."
DD#2: "Oh!"

So I am sure you can see where the desire to have a longer, more in-depth conversation comes from.
