The Magic of the Eraser Thank goodness




Well, what can I say? Yesterday was an especially difficult mommy day and I was wondering what in the hell I was thinking when I had children. Seriously I thought I might go crazy before Ammon got home and saved us all from eachother.
So, the only thing I'm disappointed about is that I didn't get a picture of what really happened and how bad it was. Rylan was being especially naughty and I sent him to his room to get dressed and think about being a good boy. Well, I think he must've tried to draw a picture of it on the wall with his markers because that's just what I saw when I went in to check on him. I can't express how pissed off I was to see his artwork and the hole he had also made in the mattress pad thing that's on his bed. My hell! He hadn't been in the bedroom that long and he made sure he used every minute to tear the place up. Any other day I may have secretly laughed about it, but yesterday I blew my top and felt like I could cry.
So, today I feel better about life and I'm posting a pic of Rylan and his dad cleaning up the wreckage and letting you know that magic erasers really do work (even in the hands of a 3 year old). Yes I made him clean it up.....
I sure Love Rylan, but when he is short on sleep (and I am too) we just clash and barely make it through the freakin day. I'm happy to say we came through fine and that he really is precious most of the time......

Where oh where did we go they ask????


So, I realize we have been a little on the low down for a week or two. It's a mix of a mess to try and explain everything and anything about what we've been doing.....oh yeah and not doing as pointed out nicely by Amee. Here's a short insight to a day in the life:

**Tending babyJett full-time now everyday.
**Being referee to Rylan and McKinley (which makes me wonder what my name is after a day)
**Some housework (if I have time & energy of course) followed by some quality couch time
**A few hours of school three days a week (sometimes homework is on time).
**Couple of days of work each week
**And who know what else I've been doing. Evertyhing seems a little cloudy these days and I hope to break through sooner than later... (any ideas?)

No, there's really actually a logical explanation for why I haven't posted. You know when I got my new camera several months ago I was super impressed of course and snapped a lot of shots (about 439 to be exact) and I had never printed them until last month and the damages were $50 bucks! EEck! So I've decided that I've become camera shy for fear that I'll get slapped by the kodak machine again. I'm gonna work on this detail. How does everyone else get the prints? Do you have any cool tricks or online things that you do or am I as normal as the rest of the world? (you don't have to answer that)

Here's a couple of shots that we took of our little picnic the other day. It's kinda funny cuz it shows all of us at the same lace and time but definitely enjoying it differently :o)
