We interrupt this peaceful morning

I slept in til 6 something this morning. It's not even really sleeping in since now that I work in town, every day is "sleeping in". I am still thankful every single day that I don't commute anymore. But I digress.

The house was quiet except for Dan's shower and I thought "hey, what a great day...I woke up before Tessie, before the dog whined to go out, before the kitties need food". Great morning. As Dan was leaving, Tess woke up in a perfect mood. She was talking about her milk and kitties and all of those other things that get mingled into baby conversations. The dog woke up and went outside and I made my coffee and emptied the dishwasher. What a GREAT MORNING. I felt inspired to get all of my laundry done, plan some dinners for the week and maybe use some of the Pampered Chef stuff that I have but rarely use.

I let the dog back in and Tess was talking to the fish, who was swimming around in his newly cleaned fishbowl. I even cleaned the fish bowl...Dan won't believe it. Usually he's harassing me about the fact that you can't see the fish through the muck. It's here that things start to get muddled a bit. I walked into our bedroom with a basket of clean laundry and there stands Tess beside her diaper. She runs into the living room and points at a puddle in the floor. How sweet...she peed on the floor. ugh. Good thing she didn't mess up that diaper! I noticed as I walked to the kitchen for paper towels that Leeroy was sitting in the dining room facing the windows. Odd, I thought, how he'd hide out there so as not to take the blame for the puddle of pee. Maybe he's smarter than I'd given him credit for.

Right.

I walked back through with a wet rag to finish cleaning up the floor just in time to see Tess slip and fall in some more pee. GROOVY. I clean that up and tell the whimpering Tess that it serves her right for peeing on the floor. Just then I notice that Leeroy is still in the dining room facing the window. I look closer and there's his pile of vomit. Right in the middle of it is a huge mass of barbie hair. Poor Barbie. So I clean up that mess, all the while, Tess is bitching at me about "baaaaaffff baaaaffff" because I'd told her she'd get a bath since she's covered in pee.

At this point I'm on the verge of being a raving lunatic. Leeroy goes outside (runs for his life actually) and Tess is in the tub telling me all about bibbits and meows. I'm feeling calmness return....watching Law and Order on Tivo. Considering going out to buy some socks for Dan and some shorts for the kids. Maybe I'll start making lists for our vacation in 3 weeks.

Ah, Sunday. The day of rest.

LOL, I can't help but laugh. Sounds like she has learned a thing or two from Leeroy? ;) j/k. I remember when my daughter started to do that, that is when we decided that she was ready to start using the potty chair.
