Some Days...

Boy oh boy, some days are just so much more trying than others. For whatever reason today has been exceptionally challenging. Maybe the planets are out of alignment or something? I have been busy this week tyring not to overwhelm myself with party planning for a party we are having this Saturday. I like to get as much preparation and cleaning done as possible before the day of, that way I am not a total nut job when Saturday arrives. I actually like cleaning and getting things ready. Details and little things like that make me happy, weird...yes. Today was the same, but every time I finished a chore I had given myself, the boys and Addy has created a new one for me! Both boys smeared Bag Balm all over the stairs and the wall going down stairs. So, if anyone is not feeling well sitting in our stairwell might make you feel better! Then came the great toothpaste heist. I am not sure what it is about that damn toothpaste lately, but we practically need a liquor cabinet of sorts just for that! They all three recognized that their Mother was unusually busy, and seized the opportunity to wreak havoc! I did notice them of and on throughout the morning, I felt as though I was keeping a good eye on them. When I would see Addy or a boy I felt comfortable that they were being good. They even followed me up and down the stairs. But, now that I am thinking about it, it appears that they were keeping an eye on me!! I know what they were doing, "hey while I am coloring on the wall with this schmutz, you go and check in on Mom. When you get back I will go and smile at her, then you can eat some toothpaste!" Perfect, my children are obviously geniuses!
