• The well laid plans of men oft go ary.

  
  

  Today has been a day.  A very LONG day.  Tonight when I started thinking about it as I picked up a spilled glass of water I started laughing hysterically. 

  
  

  This morning started off by Kaylin waking me up at 5:15.  We were all up for the day by 6:20.  I was NOT impressed usually my kids sleep in after a late night--but you know daylight savings. 

  
  

  Anyhow trot downstairs and look for easy breakfast.  Have a HUGE bowl of leftover popcorn.  I know, I know BAD me...but hey they normally eat cereal & whats so different, except this was LESS refined.  So I put them in front of the tv to eat it while I did my blog. 

  
  

  Get off the puter walk over to living room & their is popcorn cornels EVERYWHERE EVERYWHERE.  I head to the kitchen to get the broom & above the broom is a hanging plant.  I somehow snag the plant with the broom & dump the plant all over the kitchen floor.  Its not yet 8 am...and all this has happened.  Then I cried now I'm in hysterics.  LOL

  
  

  Get the kids ready for church head out.  Okay this is happening the way it should.        

  
  

  Get to church, clean nursery, wasn't that dirty YEAH!  Go to practice keyboard, Kaylin is even behaving YEAH!  Get Zeria to SS opening, and Samuel to 2s & 3s SS class.  YEAH!  Head to my moms with babies class.  Kaylin pick up a HUGE toy and throws it at me.  OUCH!  I have a bruise.  I tell her no...and redirect her.    She heads over to the cupboard and starts banging on it.  I say shhhhhhh!  she does.  Then another mom tells her no--wasn't her job--and have no idea why she did.  She starts screaming.  Her temper tantrum NONE stoppable scream.  I ignore it for about 5 minutes.  She continues to scream.  I pick her up take her outside and head to the van.  Crying myself.  I just am so tired of this.  So we spent SS in the van.  She eventually stopped screaming.  And I finished my sci-fi novel.  (Oh yeah that was spiritually uplifting)

  
  

  Tell the pianist  that I'm NOT gonna be playing keyboard today as i'm a basketcase. Go get the kids from SS tell them no Jr. Church, mommy needs to go home.  For once they obeyed--still suprised by that LOL 

  
  

  We eat doughnuts on the way home from church (our standard fare)  I know ewwwww but it keeps my kids awake until they get home.  Sunday is the only day we have ewwwww meals LOL

  
  

  Kaylin falls asleep on the way home DRAT!!!!  I carry her up but that means 15 minutes less nap for the rest of us.  So we all go up & pile in mommys bed.  Mommys falls asleep quickly to find kids restling in bed.  Mommy wakes up reminds them to go to sleep & we all sleep for a bit.  Mommys pregnant bladder wakes her up an hour later.  If I get up allllll the kids will wake up. But bladder wins.  And all kids wake up. 

  
  

  Several hours proceed rather uneventfully.  The house is trashed.  

  
  

  Kaylin finds the baking soda.  Spreads it all over the place.  Kaylin finds the cereal...spreads it a bit but Zeria rescues it.  Kaylin finds the cans--well you saw the picture.  Mommy cleans up the disaster 10 minutes before daddy comes home.  Including more dirt from the stupid planter. 

  
  

  Daddy comes home.  Mommy bawls all over him. 

  
  

  Time passes a bit.

  
  

  Time for dinner mommy starts making dinner.  mac & cheeze & sausage.  Mommy puts her water cup by the pacs of paper cheeze.  Mommy spills water cup all over counter & floor.  Mommy starts laughing hysterically.  What else am I supposed to do at this point????

  
  

  Kaylin dumps out socks from sock box.  Mommy makes Kaylin pick them back up.  Samuel & Zeria are sent to their rooms about a gazillion times for being so loud we can't hear each other talk. 

  
  

  WE sit down to eat dinner....Samuel spreads macaroni all over table, floor, himself you get the picture.  Kaylin is eating macaroni neater then him.  He gets the standard lecture--use your fork...not your fingers, keep your food on the plate.  Things proceed NORMAL.  Samuel finishes his firsts.  Apparently this was a good meal.  Daddy looks over at him to catch him licking his plate.  Daddy says don't lick your plate and then looks at me.   "Nobody told me that saying that was in my job description." he says. 

  
  

  what did we do???  Laugh hysterically for 10 minutes.  What else?  Crying sucks.  Laughter is good medicine.  Hope you got a good laugh at my expense
