This morning started off a lot better than yesterday ended. All the kids were up early so they got to see dad. That put all of them in a great mood which helped me out this morning. We were actually early for school this morning! That is always so rare. As we pull up to school Marisa begins to cry. She doesn't want to go to school today. Why? She wants to spend the day with her mommy. She misses her mommy so much. I am sure it had a lot to do with seeing me upset last night. I took a few minutes to talk with her. She was happy to hear that in about 4 months she gets 3 months home with mom. That sounded ok to her. I then got to walk her into school. I think there might be a special night planned for her. She wanted to go to the zoo tomorrow so I am sure we will spend the morning there.
As I got home I realized how much work I have to do today. I began with de-icing infront of the garage so I could get the recyclables and garbage out without killing myself. Then inside to do dishes, play, webcam, clean livingroom, play, laundry, play, lunch, play, more laundry and now naps. I have begun to realize that laundry and dishes will be an everyday adventure in this house for a long time. I do have the actual help of the older 3 with these "chores". They will put all dishes away that belong below the counter, so their dishes are on a bottom drawer. They will switch the laundry for me and even start the dryer. They even wanted to learn how to fold clothes. They only fold towels and socks right now but that is a lot of help!
I remembered a story from yesterday. Travis has been complaining for weeks now that Brayden does not have enough "boy" plates. So that was one of the things we got with yesterday's shopping. He had a choice of Transformers or Cars. Since he knows nothing of either movie, he picked the Cars one since it had a car and he likes cars. I got the plate and bowl out for lunch. He found away to get the cup out. I hear this noise of filling a cup of water from the refrigerator. When I finally realized the sound and that no one should be touching that I turned around. I was just in time to see Brayden pouring a cup of water over Bridget's head, who happened to be sitting next to the fridge. Poor Bridget! She had no clue it was coming. Note to self: keep those buttons locked!
Well, yet more laundry is calling. Oh, and the dishes, supper, vacuuming, floor washing, bathroom cleaning, shower.......
