7:15am - waking up to that really nice alarm on the blackberry isn't so bad. hmm, i like that. oooh, do i smell coffee? did Floyd set the timer last night? brilliant.

7:30am - hmmm, she's up. guess it's a good thing i washed my hair last night. I'm glad her dadda gets to snatch a quick smooch from her before he dashes out.

7:55am - where is that blasted purse? i'm really going to need that today. Ahh, there's the bleary-eyed boy up the stairs. wonder what he wants for breakfast.

8:18am - clothes. clothes. get clothes on because babysitters will be here soon. and when will the boy outgrow this fascination with submurging his fingers in the milk/bowl while eating cheerios?

8:28am - oooh, my coworker beat the babysitters here and she is all put together and professional and has cup of Dunkin Donuts coffee in pre-fueled car ready to drive to Columbia. How does she do it? oh yeah... she doesn't have kids.

8:42am - babysitters! i see babysitters! and my sister with her brood. yeeeeah, we're gonna be late.

5:00pm - Ahh, home early. Did these four happy children nap and read books and enjoy their babysitters' role as play conductors extrordinaire? I think they did indeed!

5:15pm - Of course, as lone adult in the house I WOULD GET BUGGLED NOW. While trying to make dinner. Dear Lord, can she really not be set at a lower volume?

5:55pm - we're eating! Floyd and sweet sister are here! We made it, hurray! And the bug screams on!

6:00pm - oh, she filled her diaper. Again. should i be relieved that there is a reason for the screaming right now?

7:00pm - Does Floyd really want to run? After burritos? Welps, okay. Load 'em up and move 'em out. Lets do this.

8:00pm - I should take a shower. But I really need her to finish this bottle so i can put her down and find out what kind of two-year-old mischief is being made downstairs. How does Floyd always sneak into the shower first after we run?

8:23pm - Did he really just say, "rock me back and forth" after I read the book 'Love You Forever' to him??? I think my heart just melted.

is it really quiet?
hmmm.
Ah, Amy's calling.

9:30pm - Is that Red screaming? I've got to hang up the phone... YES, you did throw up sweet boy. YES, it is everywhere. YES, it is a mess - oh poor baby. Oh that smell.

9:45pm - well, he seems better after a massive sponge bath and teeth scrubbing and cuddle fest. did he just tell me he needs eggs, not horsies for his easter basket? vast improvement. damn these fitted sheets.

10:00pm - NO honey, there is no more throw up in that bed. YES, i'll show it to you, it's in this huge nasty, stinky pile of laundry right here. YES, your doggies and giraffe have to go for a wash. NO, miraculously your big DAH (for better or for worse) did not thrown up on. YES i'd love to rub your back.
