so it's lunch time, and we don't have any clean bowls for the kids to use because they are all dirty...my fault, so i need to do the dishes...
i fix them some leftover jambalaya in the smallest storage containers i could find, and Dan has peaches as well... i stick dan in his high chair, kathryn gets in her seat, i get them something to drink so i can do the dishes while they are eating with no interruptions...
oh, did i mention i hadn't had any breakfast and i'm getting hungry, but i know if i don't take the opportunity to do the dishes when the kids are occupied and daniel is contained, it will take forever to do them (too much help from kiddos, constant interruptions, etc) so i sacrifice eating right away, to get the dishes done. oh the things mom's have to do...
i also put a show on for them so they would stay occupied... well, i got the dishes almost done when i was hearing daniel throw his bowl and spoon on the floor, so i go clean him up and let him get down, quickly go back to doing the dishes so i can finish...kathryn wants to watch Word World on the PC, i tell her to go click it (the PBS kids site was already up, and in the right spot, she just had to click a character which she does all the time) she starts pitching a fit about how i HAVE to help her...so i go turn it on, come back...just a few more dishes... and done, i put soap in, close it, and turn it on...yay, clean dishes coming soon. and i am super hungry!
daniel is whining at my feet and following me around the kitchen as i pull out the last of the pulled pork, heat it up in the microwave, and proceed to make a sandwich...all the while dan is trying to push me away from the counter to pay attention to him..."it's mommy's turn to eat now daniel, i didn't get to eat while you and kathryn ate, mommy was doing the dishes...so now i need to eat, please let me sit down and eat" well, i get my sandwich together, get some water and sit...ahhh, so nice to sit... i take a bite and daniel is "unh unh" trying to climb onto my chair, saying "bie bie" he wants a bite of my sandwich... i give him a bite, he runs off kathryn comes in, "mommy mommy i wan watch elmo songs" so i take another bite, get up to change shows and see daniel running toward my chair, i turned and told him "don't you dare daniel, that is mommy's sandwich you leave it alone!" and hurried up switched the disk, and turn around to see daniel walking toward me with what appeared to be the sandwich in one hand... i said "NO DANIELLLLL" as i rushed toward him to realize he only had one slice of bread...the rest with all the pulled pork was mangled on the floor....the dirty floor... UUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'M FREAKIN HUNGRY AND YOU GO AND RUIN MY LUNCH YOU LITTLE MUNCHKIN!!!
i cannot tell you... i felt like... ugh, my hot yummy lunch was gone... now i had to take more time to figure out what i was going to do for lunch...we have nothing quick...except sweet stuff (candy, cookies) why do our kids have to drive us flippin nuts... why can't i just sit and eat in peace and not get up until i finish ::tears:: it's just not fair. daddy gets to do it all the time...i just want one meal where i can eat it HOT... i guess i'll have to go lock myself in a room for that to happen. it shouldn't be this way.
ok, i'm done, sorry i had to get that off my chest.
