Girl, Interrupted

The story of my life. All day, I have witty and clever blog posts going through my head, things to remember, funny things the kids do. If I'm lucky, I can remember them until I get some computer time. If I'm even luckier, the kids aren't constantly interrupting me and the internet is not down. I wondered if I should get one of those 'note-to-self' tape recorders. But when would I have time to listen to it??

There's so many things I'd like to to, but I don't know where the time goes! Or if I have a minute, I can't remember what it was I was going to do when I had the time! There's a deal at 2peas right now--upload 20 projects and earn $20 to spend in their store! How could I pass that up? Hopefully I'll get to it. :) There was a call for journal-bloggers at Blissfully Domestic that piqued my interest. Maybe I'll get to that, too. Or my lonely scrapbooks.

My 3 and 5 year olds are already telling me they're bored and there's nothing to do. Oh dear. Just another confirmation that we have too much stuff. I've been wanting to declutter and organize, but this also falls into the interrupted category.

Speedy likes to make idle threats when I ask him to do something he doesn't want to do or won't let him watch yet another cartoon. He needs to work on things that might actually be meaningful to me, though. Here's one of his threats this week: 'If you don't let me ___, then I'm going to throw all my toys OUTSIDE!' (Hmm, that wouldn't really bother me! Less to pick up!) Another one, 'I'm not eating EVER AGAIN!' (Again, doesn't really bother me, I seriously doubt he would last for even one meal!)

On the plus side, the 3 older kids all had rags and spray bottles in hand to help me clean this morning. We're still working on which household items can be cleaned with what. Like, let's not squirt vinegar-water on the computer mouse to clean it. But thanks for helping!

I've been enjoying seeing Snuggle-bug change already. Her cheeks are plumping up, her eyelashes are getting longer, she's looking at more things (albeit cross-eyed). I never get tired of checking out the baby features. And wishing they would never get bigger. But at the same time wanting to be done changing diapers. (after 5+ years straight of it!)

Honey has started getting reprimanded. She just gets crushed, but she definitely knows what she's doing. She's just so cute and animated in her facial expressions and what she tries to say and do. She has an adorable gallop-a-skippity-hop she does around the house. We like to say she just toodles all over. :)
