Sametime in an Active Directory and Exchange environment.

OKAY, so I couldn't help myself. It was time for mockery, again. I'd been a good girl, so Santa would come, but the fat man has left the building!

"Sametime in an Active Directory and Exchange environment"
That's the real link at Chris's blog, the hubba-Bubba.

"Sametime" This is what any stay-at-home-mom is required to do all day long. While I folded laundry at the sametime, I kept the baby out of the dryer and the preschooler away from the baby. While I showered at the sametimes, I kept the baby out of the shower and the preschooler out of the toilet. While I typed this blog at the sametime, I kept the baby from the keyboard and mouse and the preschooler from the number pad keys.

"Active Directory" This is my crew, wherever we are, whenever we are there. With the baby at 10 months old and the prechooler at 4, we are at the very least active! I must give directorates 10 times a day with no response, causing my response in directory format, "Emma Grace!" and "Oliver Thomas!"

"Exchange Environment" This is how my children play with everything. The baby wants what sissy has and sissy wants what the baby has, but whatever they have they don't want unless they want to fight for it...which never ends well, sissy has lost fist-fulls of curls to her bull-dog baby brother and baby brother has numerous bumps on his noggin from his determined big sis.

What do I want? My hubby. My mommy. My daddy. And Starbucks!

Honestly, it's not that horrible, but every day is a challenge, but filled with grace from my gracious Daddy reminding me to grant that same undeserved grace that I received to my kiddos. Yep, I am certainly the "wretch" the song refers to...So that's my thankful Thursday!
