A.) The people of Walmart aren’t nearly as interesting at 6:30a.m. That’s mostly because there are no people at Walmart at that un-Godly hour.

2.) Today is our first annual Water/Family activity day/Unbirthday Party. Our day includes anything and everything the kids could come up with including, but not limited to: Water balloons games, baking an unbirthday cake, a white elephant gift exchange and a pinata the kids made. It should make for an interesting day. It’s kind of our last hurrah for summer.

35.) Water balloons are apparently out of season even though it’s only August and it will be 101 degrees today. Thankfully, I found some at Walgreens.

XXI.) Walgreens doesn’t open until 8a.m.

3.) Babies ruin schedules.

52B.) If there were 4 more hours in a day, I could have a clean house AND fun with my kids. Otherwise I have to pick one.

7.) The baby is throwing a fit because I won’t let him scream at everyone eating breakfast at the table. He thinks he should sit on all of their chairs. He will now go scream in his crib.

X.) Having a sick spouse is like having three toddlers with ear infections. Just sayin’.

L.) I need to exercise. I also need to wash dishes so we can eat later.

89.) School starts next Monday for my gradeschoolers. I thought about trying to send my 8th grader back to 6th grade for a week until he starts school.

5.) There are a lot of similarities between a teenage boy and a two year old. More on that later.

Y.) There is a really gross, large spider in the corner of the ceiling in the den. I should probably kill it, but it’s up too high.

XZ.) My eldest broke my broom, so I got to buy a new one, which he will get to pay me for. I bought a nice broom. Maybe he’ll be nicer to this one.

10.) Whenever I drive my ginormous van and get out by myself, I always imagine other people watching me are thinking, “How many kids does that lady have?!?”
