What did you do today????

3:40 Andrew cried out, afraid of the dark, had a nightmare, details are fuzzy... just put my head on the pillow David is crying his legs hurt run back upstairs stumble into kitchen grab medicine hopefully give him correct amount

5:00 Erik called for his bottle grab heavy glass bottle out of fridge heat up, pee while heating up bottle get diaper grab bottle make sure lid in is on properly, grab baby sit on couch feed put baby to bed stumble back downstairs just pass out Carp's alarm goes off he turns on light fumbes looking for clothes note to self invent glow in the dark underwear or stick some of Andrews glow in the dark stickers on Daddy's work clothes

6:15 awesome dream disturbed I was alone in the desert in a tub with bubbles no rescue heroes sticking up my ass ABBA is playing...why is my face wet ... something is licking my face...quit licking my face...wake up to huge tongue and head of Maximus no god damn Maximus

6:30 go into bathroom struggle to open eyes and wash slobber off my face boys are watching TV baby wakes up yelling to be removed from crib, get baby put him on floor get on computer write, read pull myself out of my dozy state

7:00 do dishes from night before, ask my patrons what they want for breakfast, ,ake three different breakfasts, sometimes remember to feed the dog, trip over cat remember to feed the cat who I cannot remember feeding the day before, serve breakfast feed baby, talk to mom while feeding baby, wipe umpteen noses, change diapers

7:30 keep at dishes, feeding, look for clothes for kids, dress kids, make Andrew lunch if its a school day answer umpteen questions When are we playing soccer? Are we going to school today? Can we go to playgroup? What is Erik putting in his mouth? Is Max supposed to eat that shoe? Where is my special bag? Is it going to be cold? Do we need sunscreen? Do I have to wear a hat? Is daddy at work? Why does he have to work? When is he coming home? Can we go to Reuben's/Garrett's/ Coulson's/ Grandma's Charlies today? Can we go to Marineland? Can we stay in a hotel tonight? Can I watch my show? Can we live in a bigger house? Where do ants come from? Why are they in the bathroom? Mamma why are there cobwebs on the ceiling? Can we go watch Indiana Jones? When? Can I get the Indiana Jones Lego? ....struggle to keep my sanity, throw some yoghourt into me, if I am lucky throw a brush through my hair and put my clothes on the right way hopefully without spots, hunt for socks, important bag etc remember dog hasn't been out to pee adn that is possibly why he is following me all around the house, let dog out let cat out after tripping over her once again...

8:30 out the door into car with the crew if it is a school day, drop Andrew David off, Erik falls asleep, put him in crib, when we get home cat naps eat and "sit" "watch" Racheal Ray think holy shit my house is a disaster, spend most of the day cleaning tidying up scrambling to make it look that I at least made some kind of effort to clean, escape to the computer every once in a while, come up with something for dinner that is healthy and will be enjoyed by most of them,

12:15 lunch is something I can throw together and the baby can enjoy, and that follows within the guidelines for Weight Watchers core program, baby naps or cat naps at some point in the afternoon, laundry, curse at laundry, dream that there was a laundry and dish fairy, grocery shop, run errands which will only take a few minutes in Carps words, hopefiully fit in some form of walk with the stroller and dog,

5:00 pick up kids, sometimes eat and get ready for their soccer or babseball/teeball, off we go with everyone in tow, home bath

7:45 aim for a bath bed for the boys baby gets a bottle after and put into bed

8:30 look at dishes curse, sit watch tv, zone out go on computer, think about snacking try not to snack, think maybe I will get more done tommorrow Carp is at home at some point in the evening sometimes 5:00 sometimes 6:30 sometimes 7:30 who knows

10:30 bottles ready for morning, sometimes look at dishes...think again maybe I will get more done tommorrow, begin to panic think what the hell am I going to do when I go back to work, look in at the kids think god they are cute when they are sleeping, its not so bad, go to bed, read, just fall asleep, get up when someone cries out go in comfort them, stumble back in bed curse as I realize Garbage isn't covered yell out in the dark to the humongous attack raccoon, hiss at dog to not bark, finally go back to bed try to get comfortable, fall asleep

and the question always is what did you do today ...oh not much
