Snow Day

Here's how our "Snow Day" went.
~ Woke up to the kids eating the large bowl of caramel popcorn we made yesterday.
~Looked out the window hoping for more snow or at least a cloud cover.
~Decided today I was going to make a rather large dent in my laundry.
~Made chore lists for my kids.
~Got verbally accosted by my kids. ( for chore lists.)
~Delved into the laundry room.
~Hounded kids every 5 minutes to do their jobs.
~Found Harrison under my desk painting the mat and my laptop bag with my foundation and mascara!
~Realized I will have to buy more make-up because he had done this before and these were the backups!
~Did 10 loads of laundry.
~Discovered broken pen in the dryer!
~Was glad I had some jeans in there and not UNDIES!
~Let Taylor make mac-n-cheese for the kids.
~Realized how nice it is to have my older kids learning to make basic foods!
~Watched hours upon hours of CSI and NCIS while folding and sorting laundry.
~Snuggled with my honey when he got home.
~Remembered Harrison had just underwear on AFTER his nap!
~Found Harrison dry!!!
~Ran him to the potty and had a 15 minute conversation with him. No pee :(
~5 minutes later, change Harrison into dry clothes! Pee :(
~Decided Taco Bell was on the menu; sent Honey to retrieve.
~Hosed Harrison off after poo incident. Threw Lighting McQueen undies in the trash while he wasn't looking!!
~Jason helped kids to bed while I took a breather after realizing that I had been cooped up with kids for 2 days. (going outside does NOT count people!)
~Got my Grey's Anatomy fix even though it was a rerun!
~Read Polar Express to Harrison.
~Blogged.
~I'm off to my bed and book.
I really don't think some folks thought this "Snow Day" through. Did we REALLY all have to stay home from school? We live around the corner from our school. I would've pulled them on the trash can lid just to get 'em there.
"Snow Days" consist of snow. If there had been snow, the kids could've been out in it not in my hair!
I love my kids but I seriously know what cabin fever feels like just a tiny bit.
I go to my bed; I am crazy.
