That quote from National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation fits exactly how I'm feeling right now. Today didn't start off too bad... Alley & Emiley came in and went to sleep *gasp* and I managed to get all three of mine that way too. So I was able to sleep until quarter till 8... get Emiley on the bus.. then go back to sleep and sleep again until 9! Amazing! God must've known I was going to need it.
Actually it wasn't even that bad until around 1:30 or so.. about an hour before Lisa was coming to get Alley. I hear Alley in the bathroom just cracking up and talking to somebody. I noticed Clarity wasn't around.. so I go in... and there's Alley sitting on the toilet and Clarity with poop smeared on her chest! OMG! I asked Alley what in the heck she was doing and told her I was going to text her mom about what happened. I sent Lisa a text saying that I was leaving the door unlocked and to come on in because I was having to get the girls in the bath since Alley smeared poop all over Clarity. I did that to give Lisa heads up and let her deal with punishment. Well Alley stands up and there is poop all over my toilet, all in her pants, on my floor... GAH! So I had her take off her pants and stand in the tub while I sanitized the toilet and floor. Then I had her run the water and clean herself... then she had to get out and I had to sanitize & clean the bath then get both of the girls in there and wash them. Ariel was fantastic with keeping an eye on Emmalyn while I was dealing with that mess. Would you believe Lisa came in and didnt say one word to Alley about it? No punishment, no getting on to her, nada. If my kid did that at a babysitter's house.. I'd be beyond mortified. I couldnt be mad at the kid if they messed themselves by accident... but to smear it on another person's kid? Um yeah they'd be in some hot water with me. I should sneak an extra charge in there for having to deal with that and clean that up & I seriously might.
Other than that & my house being an absolute disaster because I just can't keep up with everything between my kids, babysitting, and not getting near enough sleep having to wake up at 4 something every morning (oh Lisa gets no days off until Sunday and Alley's lovely dad isn't taking her this week so I get to do this ALLL week. sarcastic YAY). I'm spread so thin lately. Maybe Lisa will call in one day this week. I doubt it but I can hope! But then we need every extra bit of money we can get... so I'm just going to have to suck it up.
Clarity got stung by a yellow jacket yesterday. Not once but twice. She ran out into the fenced area of our yard yesterday because the older girls did, and she had no shoes on. She comes flying back inside screaming. I thought she had stepped on something. She points to her pant leg & I lift it up and a yellow jacket is crawling around. I knock him out and squish him. Then I looked at her foot & saw where he got her. Then she holds her other foot... sting welt there too. Little bastard! One good thing to come out of it... she's not allergic.
Well Jess is about to be home from work so I'm going to have a chance to straighten up a bit and try to get things done. Let's hope lil Emmy stays asleep! You know once I go to start something.. she's going to pop those eyes open & need something. That's how it always works with a newborn! lol.
