Forget Mondays--Tuesdays are from Hell!

"EEEwwww, what a mess!!" Followed by, "Khaki's poo-poo!"

This is how I woke up this morning.

And yes! There it is, two very large piles on my dining room rug (thankfully it was an outdoor rug and cheap). Then, I glance to the left and yippee!! another humongous pile under the window. MMMM...nice. Sweet little Hays gets paper towels to "help". I'm both pleased and terrified.

After getting everything cleaned up, hands washed and dog banished, tell tale signs of a decimated taco (wrapper included) are discovered in the den. uuuuugggghhhh! Taco Bell + dog= disaster.

Anywho, everyone had finished breakfast and it's time to get dressed. Jack's no problem, Madden's just starting to realize what's going on and Hays ran to her room to put on her Arial skirt and green crocs. No school uniform for her! After 5 minutes of screaming, Tom and I managed to get her tennis shoes and uniform on her. She promptly kicked everything off. sigh. More screaming, more bargaining (No DS for you Hays!), more kicking. So, I just got Tom to throw her in the car...half dressed. By the time I got out there with Madden, she appeared to have realized she had lost the battle and she was going to school...By GAAAHHHHDDDD!

Madden went into class with no drama. Hays put on a nice show for me as I was leaving...and I was having none of it.

I can't wait to see what the rest of the day brings. Right now, I'm having a soy chai latte. Because I've earned it.
