8-bitMommy: What a day..hell what a week..

So..the kids came home from school on Friday and announced.. SPRING BREAK!! SPRING BREAK!! OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOZ!!! Are you serious?! How do I forget such an important thing as spring break.. I am SO not prepared for this! I work full time, and Dave works thirds.. this is gonna be a HORRIBLE TERRIBLE NO GOOD VERY BAD WEEK!! lol

Lets see.. strange happenings of this week so far include.. Charlotte deciding that she wants to have a play date with her friend from school. And in her little kindergarten mind.. getting on her friends school bus and going to her house was a much better plan than waiting for me and Dave to get around to calling her friend and making plans ourselves..First of all. How the heck does the school just allow a kid to get on the wrong bus with out permission, is beyond me. Luckily her friends dad isn't an asshole and told the bus driver that she wasn't supposed to be getting off on this bus or stop and that she didn't have permission to be here. That was strike one on the school. Strike TWO is the fact that when Dave realized that our daughter wasn't on the bus.. he called up at the school. THEY ALREADY KNEW! They were well aware that Charlotte had gotten on the wrong bus and was sending her home as they spoke, but nobody thought it important enough to call either one of us to let us know that our daughter wasn't lost or stolen.. just misplaced :P Not to mention.. what would have happened if nobody spoke up for poor Charlotte and told anyone she wasn't supposed to be on the bus..A poor little kindergarten girl would have been left standing on the street crying with nobody around to help her. WTF! So pissed off about it!

Not Charlie.. but exactly how she would have felt.

How he must see himself

And then we have Tristan.. This little monster.. twice now has gotten up WAY before anyone else in the house.. and silently destroys the world. Yesterday he tried to OD on the ONLY medicine we had in the house that didn't have a child proof cap on it. We thought that having it up on the TOP of the medicine cabinet would be safe.. but no, this little kid decided to grab a chair out of the dining room.. climb on that to get up to the sink.. stand on top of the counter to reach for the medicine. Luckily he only got into a few of them, and according to poison control.. Claritin was the least dangerous of pills he could take.. JEEZ kid
AND then this morning this miniature Odin son decides to scale my dresser.. while we were sleeping!! He pulled out all the shelves like stairs and climbed up the thing until either 1. He reached what he was trying to get up to.. the tennis balls or 2. he pulled out one of the drawers making the dresser sway a little and the tennis balls fell down... if this boy lives to be 3 it'll be a miracle.

Today was an amazingly beautiful day.. high in the 80's no clouds, nice breeze..So I decided to go outside and work on what someday I hope to call a nice backyard with a garden.. right now.. it's a weed infested zero grassed mess full of tree saplings and ivy..UGH!!! Dri decides that she wants to help me.. yay awesome.. until 5 mins into it when she's complaining that it's too hot outside, and she's tired.. and every few mins she wants me to stop what i'm doing so that she can try it, then gives up on that and moves on too the next silly task she makes up in her head lol! Needless to say I was tired of watching her run around being weird before I had even really gotten started. But I actually got about 5 bags of leaves and ivy cleaned up. .tilled a nice little spot for the beginning of our garden, and now just need to find the time to get all the roots of the damned little saplings pulled up and I can start planting a few things YAY!!! So anyway.. in the process of Dave and I working outside.. Adrianna decides that worms are her new best friends, and she's running around grabbing all the worms she can find and digging holes in our yard to bury them so they are safe from ants.. and Logan.. poor little guy..tries to be a world class stuntman and rides his tricycle as fast as he can.. off the steps out front of our house.. needless to say that didn't end well for him. So we run and scoop up the now defeated 4 year snotty faced little boy and carry him into the once clean living room.. now destroyed beyond recognition, since we stupidly left a 2 year old and 6 year old alone for 10 mins watching tv. Later we found an ENTIRE box of strawberries nommed on by the two of them in the boys closet.. crafty little buggers! Anyway.. a few tears later and Logan pointing to everyone all the booboo's he had gotten from falling off his bike.. and all is well, he is no longer wailing about how bad he's hurt and has forgotten all about it.

Meanwhile it is getting really late and now neither Dave or I feel like cooking dinner.. so we decide to do what every lazy American family decides to do.. order pizza! YAY! It was delish..and only now am I slightly regretting that decision while I sit in a silent living room typing these stories out to anyone who cares to read it.. listening to the quiet snoring of four sleeping children.. with the occasional fart escaping from the bowels of the dark rooms LOL! ok..so i'm not really regretting it..Farts are HILARIOUS! They're even funnier when they come from slumbering babies.. a whole evening of laughter is set before me.. because every once in a while I hear... FFPPPRRRTTERRTT come out of the room.. HAHA! awesome..

So lets see.. other things that have been happening in this house.. OH Dave picked up the new street fighter X tekken.. which is a fun game to play.. especially since Tristan is learning a whole new set of moves to attack everyone in the house with. This kid sits and studies Dave playing and will mimic ever move he thinks is cool until he feels that he's perfected it.. and then tries it out on his older sisters and brother. No joke.. and he's good!! I watched him earlier today pull off a damn near perfect atomic buster on his oldest sister Adrianna. She has at least 30 pounds on this boy.. and 6 years in age.. yet she fell like a twig when he grabbed her.

The other night he was really cute, while trying to get out of bed time.. he comes creeping into the living room.. and says all excited.. MOMMY MOMMY I FOUND A MAGIC CRYSTAL!! and hands me a crystal.. he said that the monster left it in his room, and that they were trying to get him to go with them.. but he beat the monsters up and told them they had to go! They had left the crystal with him in case he ever decides to go with them.. hmm.. maybe I'll summon them and hand them all off!! WOO!

anyway.. that's all I have to report for now.. wish us luck as we continue thru this journey of chaos!
