WHAT A DAY!!!!

Ok, Have you ever just had one of those days when everything goes kind of crazy. The best bet for anyone walking into the house is to not ask that famous question -"So exactly what did you do today?"- as they look around. Today happens to be one of those days!!!! It started out fine. I even got the girls out of the house on time and quizzed Natalie on Subtraction and spelling words on the way to school. I got to the school and dropped the kids off and decided to see if my check was there. It wasn't but Debbie was going to the post office to get them so I followed her there. Of course, I can't just get my check and run. We had to talk for awhile. There ends the relaxing part. After that I went to teach Math at Belinda's. There is nothing stressful about that either except that since I had to sit and talk at the post office I was running late. I got home just in time to do my hair before Celeste came over to teach me about my new surger. (I'm very excited to have that by the way.) After she left my life went nutso. I was in the kitchen being the good wife that I am making beef stew. The meat is browning on the stove and I'm chopping potatoes. No problem, Right? Wrong!!!!! Hailey comes in and says "Mom, I'm all wet." Being the attentive person that I am, I said ok, and went back to my potatoes. I checked on the meat and then I heard it. WAS THAT WATER RUNNING IN THE BATHROOM? Surely not! I decided that the best course of action at this point was to go check things out. To my horror I saw the water before I reached the bathroom. For those of you who have been in my house you know that means the water was now running down the hallway. My sweet little Hailey had decided to wash her hands. She got the water on, but not OFF. It was on full blast making a beautiful waterfall in front of the sink. I wish I would have had more time to enjoy it, but the damage had to be repaired. I turned the water off, stopped the flow down the hallway and remembered the meat on the stove. Thankfully it was just right and not burned. I was trying to look on the bright side of things and said "Well, at least the floor is cleaned." My sweet darling Rachel pointed to the ground and said, "No mommy, its still dirty right there." KIDS, You have to love them or you'll go crazy. I hope all of you are having a much calmer day than us. Love you. JRich
