Are there days?

When the vaccum falls over 3 times when you try to put it away?

When sweep the kitchen floor just to find 5 minutes later that your 2 year old has gotten into the brownies and they are now all over the floor?

When you try to label pictures because you've realized your memory is already failing you and your kids will NOT play by themselves? Am I wrong to think that my 5 and 2 year olds should be able to play in their playroom stocked with toys by themselves for 15 minutes?

When you make your bed only to find both kids have thrown all the blankets off and are jumping on it a few minutes later?

When you break 2 glasses while unloading the dishwasher because they are still too hot? Darn me for being dilligent and getting right on unloading as soon as they are clean!

Today, I think I'm going to quit trying. Tomorrow is another day.

Yes, I've had those days. Is it wrong to block their door to keep them in? ;o)

We all have those days. I may have thrown the vacuum on occasion...

And I "hired" Grammy as a babysitter b/c I told her I wanted her to teach my kids how to play in the other room by themselves. It's amazing! They can do it now!
