Ahhhh…nirvana.

9:04 am:

Mommy fulfills all three requests.

Mommy answers school question about math.

Mommy obtains a full glass of milk from the fridge.

Mommy sets baby on toilet.

Good job Mommy!

9:05 am: Uh-oh!

#2 spills milk. Milk emergency.

#3 pees on mommy. Plain old emergency.

9:06 am: #2 walks to bathroom to make sure mommy hears his screams about the milk.

9:24 am: Mommy sits back at computer.

#1 has figured out his math problem on his own.

#2 and #3 sit with new clothes at table playing with Legos.

Ahhh…nirvana.

    Your morning sounds SOOOOOOO familiar!!! With two girls, though, I’ve only been peed on a few times. THROWN-UP on, however, well… That’s a whole different story.
