Yup. Welcome to my day.
Today I had one goal-get the house ready for our tball party tomorrow. As of 10pm (right now) I am hiding in an undisclosed location eating chocolate chip cookies out of a box praying that a fairy comes and does it for me...or at least the kids are asleep by the time I decide to come out.
Lets look at the day in pics...shall we?
Amelia decided she was hot last night and somehow took off her gown-had it around her head and her diaper off. (9am)
Work hard cleaning house with 3 kids by 4 pm-I was defeated. The house looked worse than it did at 9am-so we went downtown for coffee, honey at the market, and some playtime.
5pm-8pm Mia screams due to gas/teething/anger so I try everything to console her. Taking a ride on the washing machine gave me 30 minutes of peace.
During this 3 hour frame-madyson is in dire need of attention and I can tell this by her hanging on me and being totally oblivious to the fact I am loosing my mind with a screaming baby-a messy house-and a five year old who is melting down because I may or may not have feed her lunch and neither of us can remember and she is starving.
In the attempt to provide food fast I turn to a thrown together pizza and cucumber and tomato salad.
All while child #3 is still riding the washing machine...
(Don't worry mom I had Madyson there making sure she didn't roll off for the 3 minutes it took me to plate the food)
Once the big kids were fed and the babe was done using the laundry room as her personal amusement park. I turned on some Tomlin...because Chris brings the spirit and I.needed.it
You are making me cackle! I LOVE crazy! Makes me feel normal! Hang in there!
ReplyDeletelove your honesty. love this. and i love that you got a picture of #3 on the dryer. classic. And I'm totally with you on the house looking way worse by 4PM on the day that you've been trying to clean all day. I read somewhere that cleaning with children is like brushing your teeth while eating oreos :)
ReplyDeleteI know those days. And I am sorry. I hope tomorrow is better!!
