Hiding in the basement & eating frosting out of the can.

...No, not really.

But I feel like it today.

Who are these short people and why won't they stop fighting and whining?

Oh, I know this one...

I'm cutting down/out sugar, but that sounds sadly tempting...and I don't even like frosting out of a can!

Oh I am having the same kind of day! Maybe we could get together and huddle around the can with 5 spoons.

That was my day last Friday. After a five minute cry in my bedroom I just grabbed the younger two, strapped them in their carseats, told the older two to get in the van, tossed them some books and told them to stop talking. I drove.....it was quiet for a time....and then "where are we going mom?" Sigh.....I ended up getting a drive through coffee, we went for a bit of a drive and when we got back home I was able to cope. It was kind of crazy though.

I loooove hiding out. I once hid out in the basement washroom which is pretty unused, but it was quiet and they couldn't get me. *G* Today the guys were just insane, DH was home and got a dose of the madness, I think he got a whole new appreciation for what I dp. And he already respects my work plenty.

The kids were the one hiding out in the basement/family room, playing & brawling. I hid in the kitchen and ate the rest of the brownies.

I totally did this. After I posted, I tried to get proactive.
I put the kids in the car and went to go fill up and we got a car wash. At the gas station, I got them each a cookie to eat at the playground down the street. After all that, they were great. Then, we came home and it was heinous again.

The kids were put in bed at 7pm sharp and I had a cider.

Some days are just like that, hey?




Today was much better. I think anything might have been better in comparison, though. Thanks to all for your support.

Ah! That was my day yesterday, mostly because I had only had 4 hours of sleep the night before.

Can I bring cookie dough?

Doesn't that hurt your laptop? It would if I got on mine, roflmao! Maybe you are way more skinny than I am, though.

Chicky2,

Today's the first day of spring break!


I'll bring a big pot of coffee.
