• gabe gets up this morning & heads directly for the GC (one day he's going to have to mainline that junk).
• jake has monopolized their TV with the vsmile (he's becoming his brother faster & faster each minute).
• psycho (lea) is wandering the house aimlessly, dramatically complaining about some phantom ailment & panting(?) ....(i know that there is an academy award waiting somewhere in the future for this gem).
• liz is still sleeping....i am so NOT ready for her teen years.

i swear. i love them all. alot. too much, i think at times. but they're going to be the death of me.

yesterday, they had complete & free reign of the whole house. i didn't lift a finger to assist, help, clean, nuture, mommy or triage. and at 11PM they were all still awake, running through the whole house like a bunch of savages (did you all know that if a domesticated pig gets into the wild, it will revert back to being feral in something like 6 weeks?!?!?!? use this new information i have given you to imagine these children...) and creating havoc in their wake.

the house was a disaster area. and it didn't help that while they were running like mad, they got lula all excited. (lula is a basset.....with bad arthritis.....who thinks she is a greyhound.....need i say more?) and there goes my fat, dense (as in mass not intellegence) & now very hyper basset......running the basset 500 right alongside the monsters.

there was ground up lay's chips in the carpet, pizza crusts all over the house, literally a hundred cups strewn at least 1/2 empty throughout the whole house (about 45 in their room.....how many kids do i have?!?!?!?)

finally i had ENOUGH! and they were SHOCKED that mom was mad?!?!?!? wow.....they are dense (as in intellegence this time....) i swear, if i wasn't so tired by then....i would have killed them all. even the cute 3 year old....who by this time has gone coma. smart kid....knows when to lay low.

and yet, after another of my daily rants to my angelic children (NOT!)......they swore, this time i think there was mention of slavery or game system sacrifice if they reneged, that they were going to behave, follow directions & generally act normal.....i know, its a stretch.

oh joy......i hear a fight in the livingroom....and the wails of wanton toddler.

i wonder how much i can get for jake on the black market?
