Dishes

I took photos of my kitchen full of dishes this morning and if I can figure out how, I'll post them. They're for the people (if there are still any) who are laboring under the misapprehension that my house is always clean. It took me about 2 hours to get them done. I took an after picture as well, but what you don't know is that the dishwasher is still full of dishes and what you can't see is that the sink already has dirty dishes in it from making my kids' third breakfast (didn't know we had hobbits, did you?) and that in two hours, it would be time to make lunch. Granted I hadn't done dishes since Wednesday afternoon (or maybe it was Tuesday...) but still - it's a crazy mess to come down to first thing in the morning!

In other news, all my kids are sick. I took them to the doctor Wednesday and they put Maggie on antibiotics. I called today because it's obvious that the other kids have what she has and they told me to "observe" them over the weekend! Are you kidding me? Let me put them on speaker phone and you let me know when you're tired of it. I guarantee you in less than 5 minutes I'd have antibiotics called in. So we might be making a trip to the walk-in clinic this weekend.

I went to bed last night at 1/4 of 8. Lorelei didn't sleep soundly until after 1 am, so that meant that I heard her cry about every 1/2 hour to 45 minutes, but at least I didn't have to get up with her. Still, after 10ish hours of sleep, you'd think I'd be bouncing out of bed this morning. Nope. The two little ones are asleep and I'm contemplating a nap.

ttfn!
