HOUSTON WE HAVE A PROBLEM!

I am officially exhausted! It shouldn't be humanly possible that I have cleaned the living room 4 times today--- that's 4 wipe downs of the TV, 4 scrubbings of the coffee table, 4 spot-wipes on the couch, 4 toy round ups, 4 vacuumings. And that was all before nap time at 2 pm! Add to that making breakfast, a snack, lunch and 6 servings of juice. I got lucky and only did dishes twice, then I mopped the kitchen, the entry way and all three bathrooms. I got 7 loads of laundry sorted, a load started. I changed everyone's sheets, so adding 3 more loads onto the top of the washer. I fed the animals, then went on sippy cup round up upstairs. 4 juice cups and a milk-sippy cup gone cheese factory --blecchhh---picked up toys upstairs and scrubbed a toilet. Then I went to drop off a cake, pick up some milk and then home to cook dinner, break up two lively toddler fights, kiss some boo-boos and shoo the pantry bandits back into the living room. I serve dinner, referree a fight over a banana, clean up some banana and clear away the dishes. Then I clean up the kitchen, ponder cleaning out the fridge, but settle on bathing, dressing and snuggling with the boys. Then my 2 year old gets to bed once, twice, third time's the charm....and the psychological bedtime game starts with my 3 year old "mommy, your bed is much better" and by this time my nerves are frayed around the edges and he wins to kick me in the back and elbow me in the eye for another night. After I write this I get to iron a shirt that I will probably overstarch just to amuse myself. Now I sit here TRYING to remember what I have consumed today..........

the only food I can remember from the day is that F-ing banana that I didn't even eat, and most of which is in the garbage or ground unmercifully into the living room rug (note to self for tomorrow...shampoo rug....)

HOUSTON WE HAVE A PROBLEM!

Now, one would think that with all this running around that I am doing, I would be a great deal thinner, however I am discovering that I am probably hoovering extra calories here and there without even thinking about it. I'm going to have to up the security level in my brain with new impulse firewalls; really pay attention to the nibbles! Either that or I will be fashioning a helmet with a straw bedazzled with the Slim Fast logo on it. HA.
