Woman thinking

Ok so last night was a meeting for Jeff. I am home with the kids on my own. Delaney and Jackson were having a good night playing together, so I actually got a few things done around the house. Being gone all weekend, I have to make up for lost time. Amazing how I think huh? Jeff is just making up at the store, but I make up at home, and at work. So I cleaned the upstairs while the kids played downstairs. Hear again, I should remember, where ever I try to gain an inch, I will lose a mile somewhere else in the house. Case in point, every blanket we had in the house was spread all over the basement floor, and yes at least three outfits were changed. So I send them up to the tub to so I can clean up the basement, and I hear them laughing and giggling, this should alert me right, well no. I continue cleaning and picking up doing that whole bending over thing that no man is able to accomplish........more giggling. Umm hmm. Go upstairs, to find Jackson in the tub with a super soaker. In that room that I just cleaned. Seriously, why do I try? So we watch the nightly show of Blues Clues, and guess who comes down from her bed, Kennedy. Kennedy who had been sleeping for the past hour, wakes up and comes down to watch Blues Clues. UMM HMM. No diaper on either.........grand, just grand. This is a day in my life here folks, you really can't make it up. So everyone happily finishes watching Blues Clues, and then head to bed. Then Jeff comes home, and says, "How was your night?" Obviously he didn't see the wet floor in the bathroom, or that some of the clothes from Mt Everest have been folded, or smelled anything fresher than a diaper in the house.............yeah, in the whole scheme of things my house alignment doesn't matter................but it will to Granny Smith who is visiting on Wednesday............you really can't make this stuff up.
Delaney...........was building a CONTRAPTION..........with all of her blankets...seriously where does she come up with this?
Jackson is convinced that he can stand upright jump up in the air, and land on his side. He is convinced that nothing can hurt him. Broken arm I feel it coming.
Kennedy has hit her terrible twos! She threw a fit the other night at home for about 20 minutes over nothing, stands and stomps her feet. She did the same last night when we were out for supper.........WOW, I mean screaming, and we went to the van and she sat and screamed for another 10 minutes. And constantly in something. It is just beginning. ...........
