swatting

can i admit something?


sometimes when i am at the computer i feel like i am swatting away flies.


and by flies,
i mean my children.


three of them.


constant buzzing and landing, pooping, and hand-rubbing together.

and after 5-10 minutes of swatting and the buzzing growing increasingly louder, 
i decide i should stop swatting.
and when i come to, 


i find lincoln is climbing the pantry and dumping the contents of every box/bag/container within his reach.


beckham has taken apart the couches and is using them as missile launchers, 


and marley has got both of her legs stuck in one leg hole of her underwear while sitting in a pile of naked dolls.


and i get mad,
but then i laugh because 
it serves me right, 


fly swatter.

Haha I really needed to read your blog today...to know that I am not alone. I feel the exact same way...and today just found my 3 and 2 year olds playing in the sink in the bathroom with a 2-foot long toy crocodile and the whole roll of new toilet paper all strewn out on the wet bathroom floor and when I sent them to their rooms...they found nail polish that used to be up high and painted their feet and hands (maybe I'll get time to put up pictures one day) :)
