90 Minutes...

....is all it takes for:

* 6 lunches to be made
* 5 children to start eating
* 1 child to sit in time out
* same child sent upstairs for a spanking
* 2 children screaming at each other while mom is dealing with child upstairs
* peanut butter and jelly smeared on the wall in the foyer while mom is upstairs shepherding a child's heart
* lunch cleaned up and treats dolled out
* 5 children bundled up to trek to the bus stop
* 1 child off to school
* 4 children unbundled and "playing"
* 1 other child spanked for hurting someone
* 1 poopy diaper changed while freshly spanked child pulls chair over to the kitchen counter
* 1 brand new bag of pretzels spilled all over the kitchen floor after child is told 3 times to get down off chair
* 1 child is spanked [again] for being disobedient
* 1 mom calls dad at work to vent frustration and is put on hold
* 1 child pushes another child down for trying to get his Legos while mom is on hold
* pushed child hits floor and splits cheek open and probably needs stitches
* 1 hung up phone
* 1 butterfly band-aid and super glue
* 4 children sent upstairs for naps
* 1 worn-out frustrated mommy

The only thing that would have topped this would have been a spilled drink on my just-mopped-this-morning kitchen floor. Thank God for small mercies...
