9:00 am: Holly is on the computer in the kitchen.

Ahhhh…nirvana.

9:02 am: The three boys have requests for mommy.

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!

#1 needs help. Math emergency.

#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.

Mommy washes her legs and feet.

Boy #1 continues to scream for help.

9:09 am: Mommy uses 3 washcloths, a spray cleaner and 15 minutes to mop up the pee pool, the milk pool and the tributaries that connect the two.

New clothes are placed on boys #2 and #3.

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.

9:25 am:  Holly’s husband walks into room and inquires whether Holly is going to spend the whole day blogging.

  1. I LOVE the picture of the clothes being thrown into the dryer! Very funny!

    Oh, and Blog Stedman’s line at the end is classic!

  2. I LOVE this one! I read it to my kids we laughed!

    A milk puddle and a pee puddle at the same time! 😉

    Sometimes I wonder if they wait until Daddy leaves! Then another part of me wonders if hubbies pay the kids to do this! I mean really… could it really all happen like this – just when they leave. hehehehe

  3. That is SO the story of my life! And then for some darn reason I feel guilty for every second of blogging.

  4. Hah! Brilliant!!! My morning: kids wake me up @ 6:30, make breakfast and coffee, get dressed, do three loads of laundry and make a grocery list. Hubby wakes up and I am checking Facebook. He asks if I’ve been on FB all morning! Of course I have…because the kids will let me sit around on the computer all day, YEAH RIGHT!
