Thursday 13

13 observations from the past 24 hours...

Don't pat yourself on the back for having No laundry to do!!!...Because as soon as you do so, your baby will throw up in his bed and yours.

A wet king size quilt weighs 645 pounds when you're trying to pull it out of the washer.

You cannot always trust your 5 year old to watch her baby brother and keep him out of trouble.

Never assume that just because your daughter has eaten Quaker Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal every single morning for breakfast since school started, that she will want it today.

As soon as the kitchen floor is clean, someone will spill something sticky on it.

As soon as you lay down at night, someone will yell for you.

There is no point in going to bed early, it just means the kids will wake you up more during the night.

When you're in a hurry, your children move slower than snails.

When you're already late to pick up your kindergartner, you will get behind first, a dump truck, and second, a tour bus.

Just when you think you're done nursing your baby, he will get sick and want to nurse for an hour.

When you are trying to keep the house quiet so your 3 year old can sleep, your 1 year old finds every single noise making toy in the house.

Never assume you have your Halloween costume all figured out, because when you go to buy the things you need, you will not be able to find them anywhere.

2 1/2 hours of pumpkin patch fun will make a kindergartner very tired and cranky for the rest of the night!

OK just what kinda washer do you got? A soiled king size quilt at our house has no choice but $25 at the cleaner!

Love your new design, so sorry about the housekeeper. I feel your pain!

And, very fun list. One of my biggest pet peeves is the kitchen floor. Why do we even bother?
