Frustrations abound

Friday. Afternoon. Two words that strike fear in the hearts of man. At least if you have to spend it with my kids.
For the past few days Molly has decided to have the bad attitude of a 15 year old and think she is superior to everyone in the family. It isn't that unusual, she's just ramped it up to intolerable.
Maggie, as usual, doesn't feel she gets enough attention and picks on her sisters, runs into and pushes me (not in anger, just to be annoying, as far as I can tell), complains about EVERYTHING and makes up excuses why she can't do anything she's supposed to do.
Lorelei is just herself, into everything, crankier than any kid I know, even when she's in a good mood. The thing that made her laugh hardest today? Throwing all her food on the floor at lunch.
Liam is finally feeling better, but that hasn't kept him from being clingy. I think because Lorelei tries to pull his head off whenever she gets a chance.
I blew off some energy by hanging hooks in the back hallway - effectively turning it into a closet, since we have so little closet space on the first floor.
I cleaned the whole house up yesterday. It looked beautiful overnight. I also finished all the laundry and got it put away this morning. But unless I follow my kids around all day, cleaning up the mess they leave in their wake, the house will not stay that way. And I have enough of a headache today that I'm having trouble caring. Well, I care - a lot - that the place gets messed up as soon as they're conscious, but not enough to deal with the upkeep they require.
Hopefully we'll have game night at our house tonight - a regular one, so I'm not alone when it comes to tromping up and down the stairs for the numerous issues the kids have at night. I might even get to play!
I still haven't done cards. I could have done them last night while watching TV, but I was worn out from the day. Seems that's always the way. Maybe I'll try to get them done this afternoon. I wasn't paying attention last year when I bought the cards (or maybe I was and had a major brain fart) but you have to assemble the cards I bought. Am I dense, or what? Next year I'm taking the easy way out and ordering online. Fortunately Bob just bought a new printer because I don't have my labels printed and there's no way I'm writing 100 addresses by hand! Maybe if I get them out by Monday, that will be good enough.
ttfn. I think I have to go wipe a butt.
