Ok, now I'm tired.

I had lunch with my cousin, Nan, yesterday. She told me that reading my blog made her tired. She cracks me up. I am usually tired, but not exhausted. And then today I had about 20 minutes which will wear you out.

First off, I was filling the dryer when Will hollered that there was a hole in his sock. I look in the play room and see Ben sitting next to him with scissors in hand. Guess who made the hole? Ben denies that he had anything to do with it. After further investigation I discover that in his mind "I didn't do it" means "I didn't mean to do it." He goes to time out, still saying, "I didn't do it."

I turn my back to go back to the dryer, and I hear Ben say, "Kate has your markers again." Oh, no. The Sharpies. I find her writing in bright green Sharpie all over my dark green couch. Yes, it shows up. I get a wash cloth and start to scrub. I scrubbed for a long time, making moderate progress. Meanwhile, I can smell Kate from a mile away. Big time stinky diaper. After lots of scrubbing, I decide that it is as good as it's going to get (Ben says he can't even see it...not sure if that makes me feel better or not. I can still see it. Either way, I am thankful for stain guard protection. Best $100 I ever spent.), and I need to change the diaper.

I take Kate upstairs and work on the diaper, which she hates. I hear Will holler again. This time he needs to go to the bathroom. I holler back that he should go. I get her cleaned up, go to check on him, and he has peed all over my newly mopped floor. So I clean that up, griping the whole time.

Now, here I sit playing on the computer, and the dryer still isn't loaded.

Oh, and just for you, Nan. Guess what? Kate spilled her milk all over the floor last night at dinner. So evidently it only took one month for my gracefulness to rub off on her. Now you have the answer to your question.
