8:34 AM. Started with a bang! More like a thud. Kim was doing a load of laundry and apparently left the bottle on the top and it spin itself right off. Onto the ground. And exploded everywhere. Every. Where.
9:18 AM. Crisis over. The entire house smells like laundry soap.
9:25 AM. I finally figured it out! As long as I follow child #4 around with a vacuum, broom and spray cleaner, my house stays pretty clean.
10:01 AM. Trying a new game. Brain Quest, kid edition.
10:07 Kid edition my A$@! Its was myself, child #1 and #4 on one team, and Kim, child #2 and #3 on the other. “A cowboy rode into town on Friday, stayed 3 days and rode back out of town on Friday, how is that possible?”…… I DON’T KNOW!!!!! He has amnesia? It really wasn’t Friday? You’re liars? Where did the 4 days go?!?!?!?!?! …… apparently the horses name is Friday. I hate this game.
11:45 AM. Game over. We lost. I don’t want to tall about it.
1:45 PM. Lunch over, put on Avatar. Thought a good 3 hour movie would….. well…… kill 3 hours. It killed something…. my brain!!! It turned out to be 3 hours of questions. “Mom, why are they blue?”, “Mom, why are they taller than the humans?”, Mom…Mom…. Mom
…… aaaggghhhhhhhhhh!!!
2:30 PM. I changed my name.
3:49 PM. Rearranging the picnic table area (the informal.dining/craft area) child #3 asks if I have seen baby wipes. I point her in the direction of said wipes. Now, I am curious as to why she needs them. Walk.around the corner to the living room and I see a large pile of wipes by her feet and she is wiping her armpits. She looks and me and says “it’s getting ripe Mom, and I’ve tried like 1000 wipes”.
3:53 PM. Shower for Child #3.
4:30 PM. Dinner begins. We went safe and easy today. Crockpot Turkey breast, corn on the cob. Sitting eating and Child number #4 makes an announcement. “Hey grills (still calls his sisters grills instead of girls) I am DESTROYING this corn. If you don’t want your’s, I’ll destroy that too. Lemme know”.
4:31 PM. Contemplating what I have raised.
5:45 Dinner concludes and bedtime begins. Yea, its early…..
Good night all!!
