Are we having fun yet???

Seriously, are we having fun yet?? I decided yesterday that I needed to rearrange the playroom again because Logan has this nasty habit of climbing up on the game cube and jumping off. That boy has more bruises and cuts on his legs because he has no fear of anything lately. While making dinner the other night I glanced in the room to see Katie, Ryan and Logan all standing/jumping on the couch and screaming their little heads off. Okay, I know that jumping is Logan's thing and it's something that Ryan likes as well but on the couch?? Where little ones can fall off and hurt themselves?? I need to pull the mini trampolene back out of the garage and let them jump for hours.

Back to the rearranging yesterday, I moved the couch over so that he couldn't use that to climb over to the toy cube. It took me about an hour and a half to move things, vacuum the nasty area behind where the couch had been and pick up all the toys and put them away. Last night I realized that I made a boo boo moving the couch. The alarm has just enough light to be annoying and of course, where the couch was, it shined right where Logan lay down. So after a night of very little sleep, I decided I needed a change again. I couldn't get to it first thing because today is therapy day for both boys. We headed off to therapy at 8:30 and all things went pretty smoothly until we got to school. The buses were still sitting in the drop off so I had to park way down which I knew was going to be trouble. Logan decided he didn't want to go to school after all and had a mini meltdown. Marie realized as she was getting out of the van that she didn't bring her backpack/lunchbox. What a morning! After dragging Logan to class, (he likes to throw himself down or scratch, pinch and hit if he's upset about something) the little ones and I headed home to wait for Ryan's therapist. Once that was over we had to grab Marie's backpack and head back to school. It was noon by the time we got back, I was tired and hungry as I hadn't eaten anything for breakfast or had any coffee yet.

So after all that I made a pot of coffee and some lunch because it was that time of day and sat down to contemplate where in the world I was going to put things so that Logan can't climb anymore! I finally figured it out and set about getting things where I needed them. That stupid couch is so heavy and with already being a little draggy it was harder the h*e* double toothpick to move. Of course, with Katie trying to help me it was all I could do not to fall on my butt from laughter. Trust me, trying to move anything with your three year old helping just doesn't happen! She kept asking me, "Are you done yet Mommy?" as she pulled toys out and proceeded to litter the floor that I just cleaned up. Or even better, she'd jump up on the couch as I was trying to push it and say, "look at me Mommy!"

So after all this, Logan should sleep through the night or most of it anyways on his favorite bed/couch. I now need to take a nice "Calgon take me away!" bath so I can rest by aching back and other body parts. I threw the roast in the crock pot this afternoon (yeah, I forgot allll about it this morning!) on high so we can have a nice easy meal around 8:00 tonight. I can do the dishes and take that much needed Calgon moment right after that. Heck, maybe I'll just take that Calgon moment as soon as we're done eating; the dishes can soak overnight!! Besides, if you soak your dishes the food comes off easier. Right Mom?? (this comes from the teenager who didn't do pans, knives, forks or glasses LOL)
