Stop! Thief!

Seven thirty A.M. and it was already starting to be “one of those days”. I woke up to Ethan raising the roof in his room, the baby screaming, and Libby sitting in a HUGE puddle of pee in the middle of her bed. Yay!

Mission: Kick start my brain, corral and occupy other 3 kids, clean up the mess, then the girl, and try not to swear at anyone.

Step one: I got Chris to go down stairs with Ethan and Abby, and got him started on breakfast.

Step 2: I worked on cleaning up all the pee and bathing Libby. It took a while, but I finally got everything clean and smelling fresh.

Step 3: I put the pee pee laundry in the washer, turned it on, and got Libby fed, all the while still smiling

Mission accomplished!

So now I’m sitting down, about to enjoy my breakfast when I notice that Abby has some brown stuff on her pants, hmmm. She was whining too, so I figured I should investigate. I picked her up, and realized that she had pooped through her clothes, and now it was on me too, the fun just keeps on comin’! So I cleaned us both up, and went to throw her diaper away, outside. I came back in thinking about how hungry I was and how I couldn’t wait to relax with my bagel and coffee, finally. I got to my breakfast only to discover an empty plate. I looked up and there it was, my bagel, in Abby’s hand. She was smiling as big as she could, obviously enjoying my breakfast. If she wasn’t so cute I think I would have been mad. No big deal I guess, I’ll just make another one right? WRONG! There’s no butter left.

Think I’ll go take a shower and pray for naptime to hurry up.



Notice the little bites missing...
