It had been one of THOSE days.

crazy

It was 8:00pm and we had just finished eating dinner

we were lucky to fit that in.

My kitchen was seriously covered in sprinkles, crumbs, frosting, and way too many dirty

dishes ( my counter tops were no where to be seen)

We had just finished up working on Taylers giant mermaid cake for her county fair project which was due the next day.

Before I knew it, it was 9:00pm

on a school night.

Ben had already jumped out of his crib four times and it was my fifth time (re)tucking him in...with no naps might I add.

KK didn't have her homework done

AND was being sassy

The girls hadn't bathed yet...

then someone mysteriously took a snitch out of the mermaid!!!!!!

which led to drama!

I set the kitchen timer to give the "snitcher" 3o seconds to confess. or else.

My overflowing laundry baskets were out of control

Rex was slamming into walls just to make noise

Keith was at Young Mens

At one point I just sat down on the couch to watch all the commotion around me

I asked myself. for reals?

I didn't even know where to start

when all of a sudden

out of nowhere Rex came tearing through the room with his Easter basket on his head

with his super intense facial expressions

he started chucking his little football right at me...

ok normally this would be my breaking point

but. I couldn't help it

I seriously fell to the ground

LAUGHING. hysterically.

(I'm not sure if it was because I actually thought it was funny or if it was some sort of coping mechanism)

either way I guess it was was a good place to start

to laugh

and to remember I guess this is what having kids is all about.

thanks rex.

tayler won a blue ribbon for her cake, so I guess it all ended up being worth it afterall.
