Our Five O Clock Hour

     Five A Clock.  When the big hand points at 12 and the small hand points at 5. Yep its just now 5pm here.  Want a look into my 5pm hour, that accurs almost every day the same.  Here goes:

      Right now my house is once again a mess, and I only cleaned it 4 times already today.  my pots are all spread on the kitchen floor, and there are random toys in them.  There are Cheetos spread on the couches, 4 pairs of little boy peed in underwear sitting in a pile on the washer.  My 2 year old son is currently running around bottomless.  I guess that's called life with little kids.   I have one hour to figure out what to make for dinner and then make it.  It should probably be something that does not take pots.  :-)   I have loads of laundry on the table waiting for me to fold them.  and its hot...very hot.  94 in my house currently, and my one window air conditioner is running overtime.

     It's 5:30 now, after rummaging through the fridge, freezer and pantry, I finally got dinner on the stove in a frying pan (I don't have to wash it first).  Potatoes and Chorizo are on my menu tonight.  The kids are entertained watching Micky mouse and eating Cheetos in front of the AC, our pile of wet undies has already grown to 5 pairs, and my kid is once again ... you guessed it.

      The thing about the 5 a clock hour is its busy. It does not matter if your driving through traffic, at Walmart, or a SAHM like me, its just busy.  So cut your self some grace if  you are pulling your hair out.

At least, eat some dark chocolate, and take 5 minutes to catch your breath.  Trust me you will be glad you did.
