Happy Monday

Mondays...a case of the Mondays. We are so ready for Spring around here. We have some serious cabin fever. Why did that darn Punk groundhog have to see that shadow? Grammy Pam came over today to see the girls, she was going to take Miss Chloe to dance class, however, the littlest beauties were not letting them leave the house without a fight! They wanted to go too. None of them took their napper today, so they were wired and grumpy. I was too tired to fight, so we loaded everyone up to go "bye-bye" they beauties were thrilled to go for a car ride. Funny, I always want to go to sleep in the car...not the beauties though. They look all around and comment on anything and everything. Doggies, people, cars, airplanes...and of course one of their favorite new sayings..."wasat" (what's that) if you weren't sure. They enjoyed being out and about for forty five or so minutes, even if it was in the van.

Must be Monday

It must be Monday...as they say,not a thing seems to be going my way. Everyone woke on the "cranky-side" of the bed this morning. I even videotaped Chloe to show her how ridiculous she looked when she threw herself on the floor screaming after not getting her way. I did this after time-outs, counting, charts with stickers, bribery, crying myself...you know all the usual tricks when she is engaging in one of her "temper tantrums". Unfortunately to me, these "tantrums" occur EVERY time she is told NO. I know, I know she is four. I remind myself why I do not keep alcohol in the house! Because I make be into my second bottle (of wine not beer) before lunchtime. The babies have just been put down for their afternoon nap about 2 hours early...this because they rallied together and decided not to take the morning one. They decided to chat and jump up and down in their cribs. (Which sounds more like a cage full of crazed monkeys rather than my 3 toddlers.) They are so loud, you might even think they were going to bounce right out. Things for this afternoon may not be looking much brighter, as they are rallying again as I type. Becoming louder and louder.
Maybe we will go for a stroller walk this afternoon...to the liquor store...
