OMG - have you ever had one of those days?

Well we had one here.

Okay - at 9AM the diggers show up to start digging the pool in the back yard. They totally block the whole front of the house with trucks. I had to really pull a stunt to get the car out of the garage and drive across the front lawn to go out.

Of course right away they cut the internet cable!!

I had a crazy day at work - with no high speed internet connection - only a spotty back up which has to be accessed on a laptop. My helper goes home sick and the phone is going bananas.

My favorite babysitter is leaving in 2 weeks but I do have a good replacement - so she is here for her first day and getting trained.

My sister calls just after dinner because she has an emergency and has to drop off her 2 kids. They are all running around the house with their skate shoes and having a blast with my DS. Somehow there is water on the floor and I almost bust my butt on the tile. Then the light goes out in his room. The step ladder is hiding in the 20th place to look but I do manage to get that changed. Then they all have to use the bathroom at once. Luckily I have a bathroom for each but one clogged toilet - okay so now to find the plunger then to clean all 3 while I am at it.

:-) I am ready for bed now too!!

Ugh, what a day!

My day was not so eventful. Woke up at 5:50am to the cat meowing to go outside- we're trying to untrain him of this, he just started doing it, and we would get up and throw him outside to shut him up- but then realized that he was then trained that if he was annoying, he'd get what he wants, so we have to just deal with it until he learns that he can go out when we get up, not before.

After that, drop Nicolas off to daycare, J off to work, and me to work. Spent a lot of time on the phone today, not a usual occurence for me, but I was answering for another girl who was off today.

Then pick up my boys, home, make dinner and voila! I'm here vegging in my easy chair with the laptop on my lap- what I lovingly refer to as my "corner office".
