What a poo poo day...

Yesterday between Jakob, Kadence and I, our crank scale was pretty high. Today was Ricks turn. The odd thing about that is Rick never and I mean NEVER gets cranky. Granted he has a temper and every once in awhile blows up, but that is started by yelling like a gorilla and then walking out the door and shutting it so hard the house shakes. So he saves us from the real blow up...which is a good thing. Sometimes you just need to loose it away from people. I usually just walk out the garage door and scream as loud as I can. (Good thing us insane people live out n' the countree)

So when I get home from school Rick is just crank crank crank. I kick him out of the kitchen and send him to his room without lunch. Then the poo starts. Kadence first, which is natural, she is still in diapers. Lately she has been a poo factory, one after another after another and it is not pretty. (Not like mine, it is like roses you know.) Can't wait till this summer and potty training. Last one out of diapers, that deserves a party.

Then it is Jakobs turn. Right before we get ready to go outside I hear him whining in the bathroom. As the proper parent I go and look to see what I can help him with. UGH!! the wall, the floor, the toilet seat, his hands, his legs oh man...then he steps in it. Yes, I am talking about poo.

With as much strength as I can muster I pick him up and carefully take him upstairs. it isn't easy to do the man-hold (outstretched arms keeping child as far away from you as possible) with a 25 pound toddler. Into the tub for a good scrubbing. At the same time keeping Kadence from climbing in to the dirty water. This is a job where you don't fill the tub, just let the water run and produce a lot of suds.

Kid all clean, now time to tackle the bathroom. I have a special cleaner for that mess, it's called bleach and water. Children up with their cranky dad, whom seems to be not so cranky, while I scrub, scrub, and scrub til the bathroom is a gleam of clean. UGH...

Finally we get outside.

The perfect ending to a poo filled day? My Krischan doing a Martha. "Rice cups" he calls them. He dug out a hollow in his hot dog (yes, I wimped out and made hot dogs for dinner for the kids, big whoop. Sometimes I just make pancakes and call it a day) and placed some of his rice in it. Makes a mom so proud. Watch out Martha...


And the pooper became pooped...


Yes, he fell asleep at the table. AWWWW...

The big hairy spider went for a ride

I walk out to my car today after class, get in, throw my stuff in the seat next to me and pick up the phone to call Rick so he knows I am on my way home. That is when it happens. I see a slight movement out of the corner of my eye, and there it sits, a large hairy spider, just staring at me. Me, being the arachnophobe, starts freaking out, looking for anything I can use to smash it. This thing is huge!! I am screaming into the phone for help and sensing that I am going to be attacked at any second. I reach down for a book that is close at hand and the spider goes into a vent in my dash. I don't know how it fit, but it slid right in there and disappeared. I began slamming the book into the line he went into and that is when the book was ripped out of my hands and thrown to the back of the car. The spider slowly came out from the vent, got into my purse and came out with paper and a pen. I think this spider must have escaped from a lab or something because it then proceeded to wr...

the color yellow

I LOVE the color yellow. It is sunshine, happiness, bright, and fun. For the past couple of weeks I have been updating my kitchen. Painting the cabinets and walls and re-doing the counter tops. The color scheme I picked is yellow, black and cream. Today was the day I finally got to paint the walls with the "applesauce" color I picked. YEE..OWZA. I have never put a color on my walls that made me doubt my sense of design and decision making in my home. This color is doing that to me. I love yellow, but is it right for my walls? I am unsure. I need to place the second coat on and live with it. Beginning to think I should have picked a very light warm grey color instead. Yellow is definitely Yellow...

The perpetual life of the unfinished project

My husband and I have not learned the most important message of "finish one project before you begin another." I have mentioned before that our house was not built the best, or even to code. So when we take on a project, we actually end up doubling the normal time it would take because we are fixing everything that we noticed wrong that needs redone. I don't know why we can't finish a project, I do know that Rick and I are easily distracted, or torn from something we are working on quit frequently...they come in three's. Let me take you on a little tour: This is our pantry door. The door was replaced, but the trim hasn't made it back up around the door. It has been like this for about 3 years. (notice the holes in the wall? the huge one was from Krischan hanging on the coat hook that was there and ripping it out of the wall. The other holes are from me removing the other coat hooks in wanting to move them to another wall, which has not been done as of yet....
