gameboys don't belong in the toilet and other lessons learned today.

i started out my day with a call from CARA! she was calling to see if i was willing to be on the news as a mom blogger. UM WHAT? she had an interview this morning. i said sure, the lady called. and said she'd get back to me later. hmm, i am thinking it's probably not happening. i was open to the idea but really i'm fine if it doesn't happen. and seriously an hour with interaction ? is what Cara did. scary thought there. i can only imagine the insanity of my kids, and the possibility of what they could say. NOT a fun idea.

but because of that , i got up, showered, and when i went in to the bathroom to blow dry my hair(for the 2nd time all week) , i flushed the toilet as soon as i walked in to the bathroom( just in case, since my kids have a horrible habit on not flushing) and i'm so glad i did, because in a matter of minutes Pierce came rushing into the bathroom, and drops the Game boy into the toilet. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, i fished it out, and i was so glad I'd flushed minutes before because then i had the peace of mind the water was clean. phew!

the thought to take a picture flashed through my brain, but i figured if i took the time to get the camera, there was no chance of saving the game boy.
anyway it's drying out. hopefully it isn't totally ruined. I'm not buying a new game boy right now.


so the rest of the day we hung out, i maintained the house. and then since it was pretty clean still, i had time to play wii with the kids. just me and 4 kids. pierce was napping, and Peyton was playing lord of the rings in the office.

the storeroom got some shelving today, i'll take pictures. they aren't painted yet. but then it's easier to see the layout.

so that is the fun of today.

dinner? we were going to grill again. ooohhh ahhhhhh!

and movie fun tomorrow! WHOOHOO for that. i need to pack my bag early, and get the kids stuff laid out so we can be early for the FUN!

lessons learned today?

~ flush when you go in to the bathroom to fix your hair or you'll be fishing gameboy out of questionable water.

~gameboys don't go in the toilet.

~left over homemade root beer needs to go. the endless cups around, and spills are killing me.

~ do not whine about storerooms. they are nice after all, and generally it gets rubbed in your face after the fact.

~ don't leave kids in the shower while picking up from summer school , or the baby gets in with his clothes on and gets soaked. even though dad is watching.

~Hope needs a nap. the all day interaction with siblings leaves her whiny and screaming. and she keeps asking if she has school? sad.
