One of those days

So maybe if I write about my day last week in the future I can read this and laugh about it. Friday I had decided to have my friend and her sister over for lunch. On thursday I got the house all cleaned up so all I had to do was make lunch. So before I even took the kids to school a whole bowl of cereal landed all over the table and the CLEAN floor. I got started on lunch before I took the kids to school and for somre reason it took me the whole morning to get it all ready.
I didn't even get a shower before my friend came at about 20 minutes till when she was going to be here I ran and put some clothes on but on my way stopped in the living room to pick a couple things off the floor. There was a newspaper on the floor and I picked it up and it smelled like paint so I wondered for a second if Steve had used it when he was painting the day before. As I picked it up I noticed a whole bottle of fingernail polish spilled on the chair and the carpet. My nephew had somehow gotten the polish open and had it all over him and the carpet and chair. I ran to get dressed and finish lunch and just kept the kids out of that room cause I didn't know how to get it out of the carpet at the moment anyways.
So my lunch guests arrive and my nephew was just being awnry through the whole meal and so my friends little boy and Kaden got down and went downstairs to play. After a little bit they had been quiet so my friend goes to see what is going on and finds that they have gotten Sierra's body powder and Kaden had sprinkled it all over Carson's room. So we are cleaning up lunch and the boys are still playing and then Paityn starts screaming come to find that Kaden is being mean to her too and him and Paityn have chocolate all over their faces so I took him to my room for a time out. I then was finishing visiting with my friend and just before they are leaving the little boy was saying that Kaden had put shampoo in the toilet but I checked the upstairs and didn't see anything so I didn't think any more of it. After my friend left I started with the fingernail polish and worked on it for a little bit and then had to let some stuff sit on it so I headed downstairs to clean up the mess down there. I found that Sierra's room had been all messed up and her chocolate had been strewn all over the room and half eaten. Then I went to turn the light off in the bathroom and found the toilet full of toothbrushes, floss, and little hotel shampoos, conditioners body washes and lotions all dumped out and the bottles in the toilet. I have a picture on my phone but don't know how to get it from there to the computer and didn't get one with the camera before I had it cleaned up. The fingernail polish is lighter but not gone from the carpet. Needless to say I was kind of glad for the break at 5 to go to Las Vegas to pick up our exchange student from the airport cause we left Sierra and the two little ones with a babysitter!!! Just one of those days when you wonder if anything else could go wrong. On a good note lunch with Rebecca and Robyn was great and the food was good!! I guess it was one of Kaden's terrible two moments he is almost three though so hopefully those will be the terrific three's!

Holy cow Sarah! Just reading that made me want to poke my own eyeballs out! Kids can seriously drive you bonkers some days! Hope another set of eyes in the house makes him behave. What a day!

I do not envy you but I did get a good laugh out of it so I am sure a few days down the road and you will too.

Ahh, I needed to read that. I was having a day just like yours yesterday, and I was beginning to think my children were demon spawn. It's good to see that other people have days like that, too. :)
