Felons in the making

My house is a nightmare! I've been sick (again!) and we all know what happens to the house when mommy is sick. Last night was especially bad, and I didn't have a chance to clean in up. So a cluttered living room, littered with toys, raisins, clothes, sippy cups and ornaments greeted me this morning. Not the best way to start the day, especially since I only got about 5 hours of interrupted sleep.

Rather than deal with the chaos, I loaded the kids up and we went to McDonald's to run off some of the energy that was causing such messes. After about an hour at the golden arches, we ran a few errands. The last errand we ran was to the Dollar Tree.

It didn't go well.

We left quickly because Micah had bitten Elizabeth, Elizabeth tried to choke Micah, and Micah wet his pants. As I start unloading the kids into the van I realized that Benjamin had something in his hand. He had taken, while I was dealing with the whole choking thing, two little bottle of Energy Boost. Great!

My little felons!

I think Benjamin got the Energy Boost for you. Goodness knows you need it!

I think Shannie's right - let's look at the positive Benjamin is thinking about you and trying to help you out! He'll pay them back when he starts getting an allowance, right?!

And Dad says I'm the calamity! Sounds like a rough day. Did the Energy Boost help?

LOL, I'm sorry for your stress level that I'm sure skyrocketed from that trip but this post gave me a good chuckle as I imagined this scene in my head, sorry ;-). I hope tomorrow is a better day, you've earned it!

Hang in there!
