When all of this happens BEFORE 10:30am you KNOW it is going to be a good day...
1. You have to wake up your husband at 7:15am, so he can take your car into the shop for you...again (3 times in 2 weeks). Poor guy has been out of town for a week at a very demanding workshop getting very little sleep and still can't catch a break.
2. You take the last of the laundry out of the dryer, fold it, and think, "I'm caught up with laundry!" It will be a good day.
3. You hear your baby calling, "I dirsty," from her crib. I think she is calling for a drink of water because "dirsty" is how she says thirsty. I go to her room and find that in this case "dirsty" means dirty. How did I figure that out? Oh, there was vomit all over her crib, toys, and favorite blanket. On the plus side, the washing machine was actually empty which is very rare around our house. Then you realize, "no, you actually aren't caught up on the laundry!" (see number 2)
4. You only have to break up one fight over which Saturday morning cartoon the kids should be watching. Really, Jared, it doesn't matter if the boys watch a girl show once in a while!
5. You only have to break up one fight over who knows what and only a couple of hits were thrown. Jeez, Amy is the only one who can put Ian in his place. She is such a bully to him!
6. Your 6 yr old comes into your room where you have fallen asleep (I know I should have been awake, but this pregnancy is wearing me out) crying about her hair. I'm a bit testy when startled awake, and I was really testy when I found out she was crying because she got gum in her hair. Seriously what is the deal with this girl and her hair? Out comes the peanut butter, fine tooth comb, and lots of water works! Luckily for Tara she only lost a little section of hair and the permission to chew gum until she is 15!

You poor thing! Aren't Saturdays supposed to be enjoyable? You guys really do have a crazy life! :)
ahh, hopefully you can take a nap this afternoon! i'm sure you need it!
I swear every single time that I utter the words "Laundry is done" someone pees the bed, spills the milk, or throws up. Law of physics?
Emma is grounded from gum until she is 21. First the hair, second Ellie's hair and the back seat of the car, and third all over her body and the front door. Really I don't know how she does it.
I hope you can get some sleep. Good Luck with that. (I am very very cranky when startled awake.) How is the pregnancy lately?
