Rrrrrgh!

Okay, so this is my Monday!

6 am     Get up for work.
             Had a kid in my bed most of the night.
             Seems like that's the case more nights than not now.

7 am     Get in the car.
             Hubby has to put air in one tire.
             It isn't low but the light keeps going off saying it is.

8 am     Get to my office.
             Been at work 15 minutes but listening to book on radio in car until 8 am.

8-4:30   Had 2 million phone calls (literally) and 12 people in my office in addition to the 200 things I have to
             get done.

5 pm     Stop at Walmart to get dishwasher detergent.
             Get a Reese Cup because I deserve it.
             A king size one because I realllly like Reese Cups.

5:15      Big BK meets me in the driveway and asks for his surprise.
             Daddy told him I was bringing him one.
             I've already eaten the candy bar so there is no surprise.

5:17      Walk into kitchen.
             Dirty dishes everywhere.
             Dishwasher hadn't been loaded.

5:20     Stack up dirty dishes in order to cook supper.

5:30     Start supper. 
            Pan seared salmon, rice and maple glazed sweet potatoes.
            Mmmmm.

6: 15    Sit in the dining room to have supper with the fam.
            One kid climbs on the table.
            One eats 2 bites, says he's finished then bounces through the house on a ball.
            Daddy eats their food.

7 pm    Step outside to sit on porch.
            Talk to hubby about what needs to be done before Big BK's party.
            Tell him that if he'll get the step ladder and paint out, I'll paint the porch posts.

7:10     Don't have to tell hubby twice.

7:12     Baby BK pours a handful of dirt in paint pan.
            Have to empty pan and yell at baby.

7:30     Small roller falls on ground.
            Have to use brush.
            Not happy about it.
            Baby throws pacifier on ground near roller.
            Goes to retrieve it.

7:32    Hubby gets mad because baby touches roller-tosses roller through yard and storms into the house.

7:45    Hot tired baby wanders through yard looking for pacifier he thinks daddy threw in fit of rage.

7: 55   Finish painting one porch post.
           Move on to second.
           Yell at baby to stop whining.

8 pm   Learn what phrase "mad as a hornet" means. 
           Attacked by hornet living near porch post.
           Unable to protect myself.
           Get stung on foot.  
           Big BK asks if I'm going to cry.
           I say I might.   

8:02    Move on to next porch post out of fear for my safety.
           Hear ruckus in back yard.
           Think one son might have killed the other.
           Unwilling to go check.
           Hubby on phone.

8:04    Make paint-covered whiney baby go in house.
           Hubby on phone.
           Opens door, puts paint-covered whiney baby outside with sippy cup.

8:05    Whiney baby gets on nerves. 
           Scared and aggravated.
           Throw hands in air and quit.
           One full porch post plus 1/10 of two additional porch posts painted as well as one baby.

8:08    Water does not clean up oil based paint.
           Hubby off phone.
           Upset that I growled at him.
           Offers to clean up mess.

8:15    Yell at baby to get in house.
           Can't stand the whining anymore!
           Clean off paint. Take off clothes. His and mine.
           Find new, non paint covered pacifier.

8:45     Semi-clean baby asleep.

Any questions?
