Today felt abnormally long. Is it possible to fit 24 hours into a 12 hour time period?
I was stuck at home all day today. Our poor little shagon wagon/mini-van-of-love was in the shop. Did I just write a post about having two cars? Ha, funny!
Back to where I was... it was a loooong day. Here's just a little sample of what I got to experience today;
Run-by-egging- performed by two little kids named Macie and Kaleb. I spent most of the afternoon attempting to get raw egg out of the carpet, off of the kitchen floor, walls and light switches. In my defense I was not the one watching the kids at the time (apparently no one was watching the kids at that time).
Anti-bacterial rubdown- Macie decided to squirt hand sanitizer all over herself and the carpet. I got to clean the carpet a second time. BONUS- Macie didn't need to take a bath tonight.
Honey & cheese crackers- Kaleb and Macie decided they were hungry so after rummaging through the pantry they found Cheeze-its and a jar of honey. If cheese crackers taste so good by themselves just imagine how much better they would taste with a jar of honey squeezed on them. In the process of their culinary creations they managed to spill honey all over the carpet and yet again I find myself down on my hands and knees scrubbing the carpet.
*Note to self: Only buy a home with all wood flooring.

I am ditto with your comment on my blog... glad Im not the only mom cleaning up crazy messes all day long!!!!
Oh wow. I know what you are going through! You are not alone. :) I think we need to take our kids somewhere together and wear them out. Winter boredom + active kids= Trouble. Sucks that your car is in the shop! I have been wanting to go to the kid barn to let the kids play. I'll call you.
Nice! Love creative kids.
Uummmm. . . your parents may be kicking you out before you get a chance to find a house. j/k I was there once. After the broken stove, dryer, pen on the lamp shades, and nail polish on the furniture I figured we weren't as welcome anymore.
Ginnie! Did you get our little present in the mail? I almost didn't sent it, because I could just FEEL the cringe that Nate must have felt when he realized it was missing.

My only question is... How long did it take Nate to figure out that some vile member of the human race would dare extract one precious card from his beloved Bananza? Minutes? Seconds? Could he feel the box was a card lighter when we placed it in his hand? And my final question - Has he crossed us off of his assasination list?
Nope, Mike, you've just been crossed off of the "future considerations" list.
Yikes! Would you like to borrow our carpet cleaner?
