Behold, an aerial shot of the utter and complete chaos my dear J & B have left in their wake after a stay-at-home morning. Their dad started it, as he usually does, by pulling pillows off of the couch to create a dive-pit for the wee ones. The books are more or less my fault because I collapsed on the pillows after lunch and then the kids started bringing me books and I decided it was a good way to keep them busy, so I demanded that they bring me "all the books in the WORLD!!!!" and they cheerfully obeyed.
On the bright side, the kitchen is decidedly lacking in chaos today, which is a nice change. I made J & B mac and cheese with hot dogs for lunch, and made myself an onion bagel with cream cheese that was two months expired (discovered after I'd already downed half the bagel) and a banana. As they are wont to do, the children begged for my food, and because I am a total softy, I handed it over leaving myself to forage lunch from their discards after the fact. The bagel was good -- even though by the time I got it it was cold, smeared with macaroni and cheese from kiddie fingers, and, of course, covered with expired cream cheese.
And now, I must call the gym and cancel my first ever training session with a real, honest-to-goodness trainer so that I can go watch a movie and drink cosmopolitans with friends instead. A much better plan if you ask me!
Oh -- and there's still the living room to tackle. Ugh.
