Moved furniture yesterday. And still today. Gah. It is taking two days because every time I think I am finished sweeping and vacuuming, someone dumps something vile or crumb-filled on the floor. Or furniture. Or someone needs to eat. Or have a diaper changed.
And sometimes I need a break because OH MY GOODNESS IT IS BLOODY EXHAUSTING UP IN HERE.
My biggest baby turned nine this week. Woah.
My smallest baby is in love with mashed potatoes.
My washing machine is either broken or possessed by a wicked demon. It beeps continually, and plays dead in the middle of a cycle. Good times... THAT WILL COST ME A BAJILLION DOLLARS.
My iPad recognizes the word BAJILLION, but not the word WOAH.
I took all four of my people to the dentist in their pajamas yesterday. There was more than 65% refusal rate, and I was not going to be charged with a cancellation fee, so pajamas it was. I'm going to count that as a win, because, well, I can.
I found a Craigslist post for a whole lot of wool fabric. I think I will buy it to make coats for the boys.
My third babe likes to dress monochromatically. Today it's red. Red sweater (no alligator) and red corduroy pants. Usually it's yellow.
The fourth and final child has been tormenting the cats lately. I tend toward natural consequence-style parenting, and I have not stopped the cats from slapping him with their claws out. And the beating he is taking from the cats is not stopping him from beating the cats. Hmmm.
We are dyeing play silks later today, and a cashmere sweater-pants-cap set that I made from a slightly hole-y cardigan. Then we will make pizza and watch The Wizard of Oz. And then maybe some Harry Potter. And maybe some popcorn.
Also and finally? I want some slipcovers for my furnitures.
That is all. Carry on.
I love the last three activities you have planned for the day. And also? I think you should add ice cream to the agenda.
ReplyDeleteWow. That makes me look like a positive sluggard. Kudos to you!
ReplyDeleteTry it this way,"Whoa!"
ReplyDeleteOH! that is such a clever thought. I wondered what was the problem!
Deletenine? that's crazy.
ReplyDeletewool? that's awesome.
slipcovers? that's genius.
When do you breathe . . .
ReplyDeleteOh, you know, I fit it in here and there.
DeleteWhen you finish the coats, I hope you post pictures of them.
ReplyDeleteWhoa!! you need to take a break..unless your wonder woman *wink
