Today we cleaned and I was meaner than Miss. Hannigan on Annie!

Ok so yesterday, my brother and his wife went to go visit my mom. they have twins that will be 3 in July. They are the nuttiest kids I have ever seen, climbing, running from one mess to another. I could say holy terrors, but i won't. anyway when they were there, they were being their normal wild selves, in my mom's new little condo/patio home. and one threw a rock, shattering the Arcadia door. (other things were broken elsewhere in the house too). My brother cleaned up the glass, his wife went and waited in the car with the kids, while he did. AND then Lance got a call, "can you come put in a new door?" and we might as well make it new French doors, and since we are doing one, we have to make the other one match. SO today, Lance has been gone to my mom's house. they had to go pick up a truck, and go pick doors out, then install them. All while i am at home with 5 kids( my mom actually had Liberty and kept her all day). and SO when i went downstairs, and I found pretzels spread around, chips crunched and all over the new leather couch, with cushions that don't come off ! I freaked ! There is a no food downstairs rule! SO how in the heck did all this food get downstairs? needless to say we cleaned, people whined, and some hid out trying to get out of cleaning up their mess! and i fumed! LANCE had sat down there with them last night, watching a movie! did he not see the crap all over? or did he just not care?! and i have to wonder if he wasn't in on the movie snacking action! and what really peeves me is I had the freaking basement spotless last week. So yeah I screamed at them, yelled, threatened, cried, and cleaned up the crap. and then we went for ice cream, the one who helped the best got two scoops of thrifty ice cream, and the others got one. I got 3 for having such a crappy day! some times, it sucks being the mom. after that we went over to my mom's to get Liberty, and holy crap, two siblings were there just hanging out, not helping, but swimming and chatting while my husband is gone working there and , I am at home taking care of my house, and fuming because the plans we had were shot, in one throw of a rock. our plans were not exciting by any means, but you know, unpacking and painting were supposed to happen. and i really want to get settled in this house. and they are there partying it up with out me. no one called to say come go swimming with us, or we are here you wanna come over? nope shafted! ok I am bitter today. and mean. at least i can admit it right?!
