Three Lovely Words!

I'VE HAD IT!  Those are the three lovely words that often chime through my head!  You know...I folded laundry downstairs yesterday while babysitting and I put all the folded clothes on the couch.  I didn't have a chance to bring the folded clothes upstairs because the two laundry baskets were filled with clothes that were waiting to be folded!  UGH!  Anyways, the kids get home from school and since it's Friday they immediately run downstairs to play video games.  Of course a 7 year old boy wouldn't think about the folded clothes on the couch so he just sat on them!  Eventually, all the boys came home and the folded clothes ended up on the floor...SCATTERED IN FRONT OF THE COUCH!  I just left them there for the time being because the thought of refolding them sent a gripping scream through my head!  Instead I prepare our Friday dinner...pizza!  I threw three pizzas in the oven and while they were cooking I started folding laundry in my bedroom so I could use the laundry basket.  Pizzas finished (clementines on each plate)...the kids devour the meal, except the clementines of course.  Jim and I get ready for an engagement party.  Since I have like NO clothes i go through Jenna's (11) drawers and find a shirt that would work.  We attend the engagement party and were only able to stay for half an hour because he had a WHS playoff  football game that evening.  We get home and the small ounce of hope I had of the mess being cleaned up by the kids was thrown out the window when I walked in the door.  Immediately I started cleaning the kitchen.  After cleaning the kitchen the kids and I went to Five Below to get Mason a cover for his IPOD and we were looking for a wig for Connor's costume...he is planning on being that little hillbilly Honey Boo Boo!  Haha!  I tell Connor that I'll go as Honey Boo Boo's mom and Connor (5) says, "You can't mom because you don't have enough fatness, but your but is big enough."  Thanks Connor  :/

We arrive at Five Below and discover they didn't have any wigs.  HOWEVER, they did have a nice assortment of whoopee cushions that my boys immediately started sitting on...lovely!  Mason gets his IPOD cover and Colin finds a safe for $5.  We hustle through checkout and leave the store.  Target here we come!

We go to Target looking for a wig in the Halloween section that was a serious mess!  Didn't find a wig...but as usual the boys found a lot of other nonsense to enjoy.  Amidst the chaos, Ryan loses his wallet and starts crying, which often turns to rage.  Ryan takes his wallet everywhere because he can't dare save his money.  We search among the costumes and nonsense on the floor for 10 minutes and I can seriously see the volcano erupting within Ryan's mind.  THANKFULLY, Jenna found the wallet!  Phew!  The kids are asking if I will buy them costumes and I tell them something a "normal" mother wouldn't say, "Listen guys, no one really cares who you are for Halloween!  It's dark out and it's all about getting candy!"  Still no wig for the Honey Boo Boo.  Sooooooo....

We head to Drug Mart.  They had a blonde wig for $10 and I was able to get it 1/2 off because it was on sale with the other Halloween costumes.  Cha ching!

The kids and I return home looking forward to watching the second half of the Westlake High School play off game.  Colin opens his safe and tries to put stuff in there and since it's a hunk of junk from Five Below the door to the safe doesn't close properly.  Colin puts his head on the table and starts crying. I tell him that we'll take it back and get another one. Eventually, I walk into my bedroom and see two baskets filled with clothes waiting to be folded and there are folded clothes all over my bed!!!  It's Friday night for Pete's sake and I'VE HAD IT with the laundry!!!  It's a constant vicious circle that never ends!  Colin and Connor start wrestling and running all over the house and eventually end up in my bedroom and they're wrestling on my bed of folded laundry!!!  NOOOOOO!

Then I tell them...."I'VE HAD IT....GEEEET OOOOUT!"
