Why nothing gets done.

NOTHING gets done around my house.

I HATE IT!!!!

But here is why...

a 8year old

a 3 year old

a almost 2 year

a puppy

a hamster

The 3 year old I love dearly he make me laugh. He makes me sigh. He makes me scream.
The 2 (almost) year old is a mommas boy!! He does not like to be far away. He does not like to be left with anyone & he does not like to leave the hamster alone. I Love him dearly!
The puppy likes to play & chew. Toys. Newly folded laundry. Brand new shoes that have never been worn. The list goes on but that is for another time.

Now here is how the day goes.

We get up.

While I am making breakfast the boys let the dog out to go potty.

They come back in and "play" with the dog.

who never gets put back in the kennel

which in turn causes tears over the loss of toys due to chewing.

8 year old leaves for school

which is usually not on time because he is not ready.

Now the rest of the day becomes a blur!

Between trying to pick up the house, do laundry, make beds

you know the boring stuff

I am trying to potty train a 3 year old

while trying to convince the almost 2 year old to leave his diaper on.

Then in between

the independent 3 year old has opened the front door

which leads to the dog getting loose

chasing birds down the street

the almost 2 year old getting loose

who has let the hamster loose

NO ONE wants to come back inside

sometimes I leave the dog tied to a tree in the back yard

because of the barking he is doing it the house

Then the 3 year old sneaks out

lets the dog off the leash

the almost 2 year old cries to go out

It begins again...

Chasing down the dog who is chasing the birds.

Chasing a 3 year old who like to run

Chasing a almost 2 year old who is starting to not want to take naps

THEN.. when I do get them all in the house

and the almost 2 year old down for a nap

the 8 year old is home from school

SLAMMING doors and crying over whatever his brothers have gotten into

while I was chasing the dog or the hamster.

Who has gotten loose again.

I always plan on getting the "stuff" done after they are asleep

but I am too tired!

So there you have it. SOMEDAY I might get something done!

Today however NOTHING gets done!
