Where's My Playpen?

When my kids become wild and unruly, I use a nice, safe playpen. When they're finished, I climb out. ~ Erma Bombeck


I look around my house and wonder...what do I do all day? I am home ALL THE TIME! My house SHOULD be clean. The laundry SHOULD be washed. And yet my house is in a continual state of chaos. Things go undone, things get lost, I forget things. So, today, I decided to pay a little attention.


Now, today was a little different. Fridays I try to schedule as "easy" days with the goal of being finished at lunch (yeah, right!) But today I also had a haircut scheduled and we were expecting a furniture delivery (the third, still trying to get a chair that doesn't have a screw drilled through the leg) so it was not a normally scheduled day.


Baby was up early, too early so I did not get to exercise. BUT, by 6:30, he was back down for a nap so the other kids were drug out of bed and by the time he awoke, the day was in full swing. It began like this:


So sweet!

We did a little school, got a haircut...this is what baby did:

Who needs a playground?

And this:

Anyone want to join me in a trip to the library?

And this:

Oh! This is Sissy's box?

Her toys are soooo much better!

And this:

WHAT, I can't even study Bubbie's books...I tell you, this place is no fun!

And, suddenly, I think I realize why I am always so tired!

Now ,can someone please tell me why I don't look like this:

By the way, is anyone else impressed at my ability to post pictures. Thank you blogger and Football boy!!!
