26.7.08

Bob took Lorelei to Costco and Liam is sleeping, so, for the moment, it is relatively quiet. Molly and Maggie are drawing on the wipe off boards I bought them from Ollies. They have such strange conversations. Half the time one or the other (though it's usually Maggie) is telling the other what to say. For instance, Maggie will be drawing on the dot to dot board and say, "Say, 'What are you doing, Maggie?'". And Molly will say, "What are you doing, Maggie?". And then Maggie will answer, "I'm doing dot to dot!". Say "I want to do dot to dot!". And then Molly will say, "I want to do dot to dot!" And most of the time whatever Maggie has to say will start a fight, like, "No! Not until I'm done!" And then Molly, who only asked because Maggie told her to, will get all bent out of shape because she doesn't want to wait, even though before that moment she was perfectly entertained with something else. It's bizarre and annoying and it happens ALL the time. ... Now they are fighting because Maggie wants the board Molly has. I swear, it never ends.
I'm not in a very good mood today. I'm very tired and I didn't get to sleep in at all. I've been up since about 5:30 am, when Liam woke up and I didn't get to bed until around 1. And I have to do laundry, once Bob gets back from Costco because it's been a while. I have to wait, though because for some reason the clothes really stink - even the ones that are in the dryer that I've already washed. So I'm thinking I need some color bleach. I've been trying to wash everything in cold water but that just really doesn't do a thing for killing bacteria and germs, so every once in a while I have to go through and wash stuff 2 or 3 times.
Grrr... Maggie is having one of those days where she cries about everything. Great. Just great.
