In the ever poignant words of Cindi Lauper..”Just another manic Monday. Wish it were Sunday cuz that’s my fun day!” Today was a day when you wish motherhood was a regular job. If you are having a rough time, you can take a break or leave work all together. i think if i left, someone may call Child Services because of some crying kids who are walking around in their underwear. The last month or so naptime has become a struggle with my younger 2. We have tried seperating them because they are in the same room. We decided to put Cozette in our room. Now, instead of causing trouble in their room, they have moved it to ours. Now, Vahn migrates over there and they go through our stuff. Last week, Vahn had something in his hand we couldn’t figure out what it was. i asked the ever knowing Cozette. “It’s one of those things you wear on your hands so you don’t get stuff on it.” Upon closer inspection, a condom which they thought was a glove. i went upstairs and our room was littered with condom wrappers, those nose strip things, little bags you get with extra buttons for your clothes, and the insides of a bag filled with dried lavendar. This neat freak thought she had lost her mind!
Today, i hear giggling and go upstairs. Again, Vahn migrated to our room and they were getting into stuff. In one arm i had the baby from next door i watch a little bit, and the other hand quickly had the phone. i knew, left alone, my temper was going full throttle and it ain’t gonna be pretty. i was forced to call Kevin or a child was going to be beaten.
Again, i heard more giggling. Vahn and Cozette were in the bathroom and i smelled poo. i asked who pooped and Vahn volunteered. He had poop all over his butt. i went into his bedroom to find the undies that held the culprit. Instead to my surprise, i found two huge nuggets on the floor. i found the undies, dry and no skid marks. Which means…..he took his underwear off and took a squat on the floor! Then Chandlur so nicely pointed out there was poop on the walls. i thought i was going to loose my mind! The baby is screaming and i have poop to clean. FABULOUS!
These are the days i wish i could leave work and go home to a nice quiet house…mmm quiet house. That idea sounds so fantastic!
