It's never ending!!!

Painting-never ending
cleaning-never ending
children-never ending

I had been having kind of a rough day with Sarah and hit the end of my rope and she got put into time out in the powder room. She screamed and yelled and slowly I grew accustomed to the sound and tuned it out. I came to realize that I hadn't heard her in a while and went to see what she was up to and found an empty powder room. I then found all of her clothes and her diaper in the formal living room, then I found the lady of the hour sitting in the formal dining room, ripping up packing peanuts and feeding them to herself and the kittens, stark naked!! Naughty, just naughty! Then, I have Cat guarding the door of my bedroom so that the kittens can't get in the paint and of course they still got in and I found little blue kittie prints on my carpet. Not happy... Summers are difficult for kids. We can't go outside so they are stuck inside all of the time, which turns them into little monsters and they manage to find all sorts of mischief to get into. We are plugging away and making it work. The blinds go in on Saturday and hopefully, our bedroom will be done by then as well. Saturday Cat has a Primary Activity for Pioneer Day and gets to dress up like one. I will take pictures. The other day, we were at family dinner and Sarah came running in and said, " Whooy Whooy Whooy, one, one, one, it's going to wain." Translation: "Hurry, Hurry, Hurry, Run, Run , Run, it's going to rain!" There was a monsoon and she was very worried and convinced we needed to take cover. When we all just sat at the table, her little brow furrowed and the look of consternation was priceless! She was not happy that we fools were just sitting around and not heeding her advice. Poor little girl gets no respect. Wish me luck continuing on my painting, parenting adventure; until next time....
