My day in a nutshell

I think so far from all the questions, I have at least a months worth of blogging material ;-) Just kidding! Keep 'em rolling in! I'll have a post about "The How" either later tonight or tomorrow morning. Or perhaps somewhere in between those two times ;-)

For now, just to keep it real, I thought I would update you on my day (and don't forget to enter the contest!):

~ This morning Liam pulled off his diaper, put it on the floor and then peed on it. Yes, I think he's ready for potty training.

~ Isaac seemed to forget that we were in our house and not a gym and ripped the towel rack out of the kid's bathroom by hanging on it. Yeah, my darling husband is not going to be very happy about that. Why do I get to be the one to break the news??

~ Shiloh's 4th tooth is now working on making an entrance and she's completely mobile. That's right, 6 months old and all over the place. I thought I had more time. Oh the cosmic jokes played on me.

~ Last night somehow I was approved/volunteered/made teacher of our new homeschool co-op's freshman biology class. I'm still confused why that was considered a good idea. But, I do love biology.. so I'm looking forward to the fall, although I have quite a bit of summer reading to do now.

~ I was laying on the floor, on my back, while the girls played hair dresser. They were "washing" my hair, "cutting" it, and putting in clips, etc. Liam decided to ambush the beauty parlor and jumped, landing both feet on my chest. He's close to 40 pounds. I think I cracked a rib.

~ I've been chasing the children out of the kitchen, as they like to open the fridge door to stick their head in to cool off.

~ Our dog wouldn't come in last night, got scared by thunder, ran under the deck and I had to crawl half under/coax him out. Crawling under means a space of about 1 - 1.5 feet, with mud, spiders, and who-knows-what. I was not happy with him.

~ Isaac also managed to break the microwave (which admittedly was on it's last leg) while simultaneously spilling his pasta and sauce down the cupboard doors, fridge door, and all over the floor because he couldn't wait 1 minute while I put the baby in her high chair. Another thing I have to report broken to my husband.

~ I think I have 8 loads of laundry to do. Maybe more. I'll have to let you know.



It's now nap time... and I would like to just lie on the couch and absorb the peace and quiet via osmosis into my soul. Instead I think I should powerclean. I will leave you with this thought :

Unfortunately the tin is empty. Someone send chocolate!
