wednesday afternoon!

well this morning went pretty well. the kids were only a few minutes late. not as bad as it could have been. let me tell ya.
and since i was in the car bright and shiny early with clothes on, i went to sonic for a reward beverage. yes. haven't you heard ? Dr. Pepper is the breakfast of Champions! (or not thin stay at home moms with not enough sleep.)

and since i was out and dressed in clothes(yes I've said it twice since it is such a big deal becuase it is so rare an occurrence) , i thought I'd go hangout at my mom's house, but the maid was there, so she came over to my house. and my sister came too. and since my house is not that clean, she insisted on mopping my floor. my sister apparently can totally ignore the floor or other filth at her house but at mine it bugs her. and to think it was clean on Sunday. you couldn't tell this morning though. so she swept and mopped while i vacuumed and did the counters. and got the kids out of the water out back. and got some bins out of Liberty's room. we now have new to the kitchen shoe bins. instead of a basket or a pile i have a bin per person, and i am going to label them with vinyl lettering. I'll take a picture, these bins were originally in the playroom, but our toys way over fill the bins and we got deluxe ikea shelves for in there instead. so one or two pairs of shoes per person should work great though. and they have been taking up space in Liberty's room, so now she'll have a little more room for other crap.

after the floor was dry we went to Barro's for pizza, my treat. since She insisted on helping me out. yeah i offered to have her come every week, but she isn't buying into that. so now it looks like the maid came to my house today too. the kids even asked when the maid came. turkeys! yeah it was me and my sister. not the maid. but we both said it was way easier to get something done since our mom was holding the babies. that is a big reason i get so sidetracked. always having to stop and clean up a new mess or change a diaper or hold a fussy kid. so next time i have to go help at her house. maybe both of our houses would be cleaner, for like all day, since all it takes is the kids to come home before there is another mess, spill, or clutter to pick up or clear out.

so far since the kids came home, there was school papers on the floor, socks around, and orange peels littering the floor. good times. now i'm gonna go yell at some people to pick up the crap again. it is a never ending battle. but the shoes are in the bins. wonder how long this shoe organizing strategy will last? i hope it does. the main problem will be keeping Pierce from unloading the shoes from the bin.

dinner? Lance isn't here so we are eating out. It's wacky Wednesday's at Sonic. $1.49 kids meals. i figure Lance is eating someplace good all week. we can go ahead and eat out for cheap. hot dang!

Have a fab evening!
