My kids are driving me insane. IN. SANE. Thank GOD they’re all “napping” right now. Why is that in quotes? Because two of them are napping, and two of them are jumping up and down in their beds, having a screaming contest. Y’know, just for the hell of it. And prior to naptime, we had twenty minutes of playing in the backyard, with about fifteen minutes of bickering over the Little Tikes cars and the swings. Children, please! You’re driving mommy to drink!! It’s only MONDAY, FFS. We can’t be having this sort of exasperating behavior until at LEAST Thursday.
I’m all thrown off anyway, because my computer’s acting wonky, and I had to sit down at Paul’s computer instead - without all my stored passwords and bookmarks; gahhh! I need to get up and run around and get some stuff done. My children may be insane little hellions, but at least we’ll be living in a clean house.

Oh, GAWD. Is it the baby girls jumping up and down? Probably Big Sis and Brother, I imagine. Oh, goodness - how do the others sleep?! You’re still the perfect mother, I say. We all wanna come live with you!

I try and think of bed jumping as a substitute trampolene - cheaper than the sofa too. Wishing you a dollop of sanity.
