"I'm telling you"

I try to tell myself stories (lies) during the day in order to get through the day... Such as:
"all of this noise really isn't as bad as it seems"
"all of these 500 stains on the rug will eventually come out with dialy scrubbing"
"changing 20 diapers in a day is really not that bad"
"the children will eventually learn what not to do, and stop doing it (over and over again)"
"I won't need the time out spot in a week or two because they will all be perfect angels"
"One day, I will wake up, and I won't hear, 'uuummm, I'm telling on you!!"
You get my point. So, on with my story. One of the children I watch is CONSTANTLY telling on someone. It will be for things like:
she's looking at me
she is wearing her pink shoes, not her blue ones
she's standing on what we aren't supposed to stand on (a piece of paper)
(and the list goes on)...
Now, after weeks of hearing this, Morgan has started saying, "I'm telling... you" And when she tells someone that she is going to tell on them, she points her finger at them and scowls!!!
It was bad enough when one of them was always telling, now I have a mimic!!!
Anyway... Monday was a rough day... It started at 5:00AM, and my last child didn't leave until 7:30PM. I had 8 children for the whole day including the 10 year old. It is always harder when the older kids join us because the day is hard just having the 7 little ones at our home... add 1 more on the other age scale, and it flips everything completely. If it hadn't been for Grandma Leslie showing up for a few hours, I would have had to lock myself in the bathroom to scream for a minute or two. Plus, the fact that this week, the youngest one has to stay later than usual (and he is always the last to leave anyway)~It adds 2 more hours to my day. 14 hours of work, and I still have to clean up after they leave. I am so tired. Come back, Grandma Leslie!!!!
