I also like organization in terms of schedules. Kids thrive on schedules (for the most part), and sometimes, even adults do. Most of the time, I love schedules because they mean I'm getting things done and moving things forward. And that tasks can be neatly checked off in my head when completed.
But lately, the schedules in my life are beginning to wear me out. With morning schedules, evening schedules, and everything in between, I'm so incredibly tired by the end of the day that I can barely keep my eyes open. And yet I still seem to stay up too late, because that's the only time when there are no schedules! Weekends are better because there's no school, but even then, someone still has to feed these little people, right?
I told A that for Mother's Day this year, I want to just lie in bed all morning, without anyone asking me for food, crying because they're ready for a nap, or yelling at their siblings. I don't even need breakfast in bed. Just peace and quiet—and no schedules. I might need to lock my bedroom door... just in case.

Um I would suggest taking it a step further and going somewhere where you can't hear the crying and banging on your door. At least that is my dream...a hotel room all to myself and the knowledge that I'm too far away to be found if just for a moment.
I second Ca's advice. Either that or make A take the kids to his parents house, because if they're in the house, they will hound, pester, whine and cry. You deserve it! Insist that A give you this gift.
I would definately lock the door and put in earplugs, so you can not hear the screaming.
