Manic Monday
I'm not sure if it is the weather, or what, but I somehow believe that is the children's intentional purpose today to actually drive me insane.
Here's just a smattering of phrases that I have spoken (pretty much to deaf ears) that sum it up...
"Olivia, no touching the Christmas tree. No, no, Olivia. No touching, look with your eyes. No, no. No, no. No, no. No, no. Olivia, no no. No, no."
"Amelia, we don't pull down our pants and tinkle outside. That is how your pants got all wet."
"Samuel, we don't tear the screen and throw toys out the window."
"Maddy, please don't lick juice off the floor. Wipe it up with a towel."
"No, Luke, you can't play on the computer right now." (repeated every 5 minutes for the last 2 hours)
Add to this three changes of dirty clothes, four spilled drinks at lunch, one bed full of laundry cleared for me (onto the floor) and two smushed fingers. Add, it is only noon.
Hopefully they have used up all thier energy. It is pretty quiet right now. Or, maybe it is just the calm before the storm...
