Back at work and glad about it!

Here are some highlights from the last two days:

Take 5 minutes to unload the DW where is Mary - cleaning toilets! I get the clothes out of the dryer - where is Mary trying to brush Hopey’s teeth with my toothbrush! Go to the bathroom I hear the dust buster and hear Hopey running. I think you get the idea it was pretty much nonstop except the little time we watched the Wiggles DVD (Fruit Salad Yummy Yummy) and Idol on Wednesday night. All she wanted to do was eat yogurt, marshmallows and drink juice. She also wanted pacie a bunch and you do need an advanced degree in Mommy 101 to know what she is saying even I missed a few and then she gets mad at me because I don’t know what she wants but won’t take out that pacie. She had a complete meltdown at the grocery store yep I was the mom with “that kid”.

She went right to Miss Elaine this morning I think she is sick of me.

Liz..Liz..Liz you have to put these things into perspective. It would be worse if she had been cleaning the toilet with your toothbrush and then put it away for you. If you ever notice a strange smell when you are brushing your teeth...then remember this..don't ask questions, throw it away and get a new one. Oh...and use some mouthwash...

As always...glad I could help!

I just don't understand you. You are always complaining about how busy you are, and how far behind you are. All we hear is how you wish Courtney could do more, but she has to feed the horses and go to school. Now little Mary on her own without any prodding decides to pitch in and help out with the chores, and you complain about that. You should be thanking Mary for helping out.
I didn't know that a diet of yogurt, marshmellows, and juice was a home remedy for diarrea. I know cheese will bind you up, and Gatorade will stop diarrea as well as replacing the electrolytes. Oh well I guess we learn something new everyday.

Mary has found out that the dust buster is faster to remove hair than a brush. Very innovative.I know she has that Joseph gene, using a toothbrush for various cleaning jobs. Aunt Maria uses one to clean inside her washer. I have to agree with Papa that juice and marshmellows not great for diarrea (yogurt o.k.)
