Halloween should ALWAYS be a school day!

What a long morning this has been. 4 kids, all filled with Halloween energy. My house has been torn to shreds. I was online paying the awful bills and from the living room I hear "Grandma's here!" Now I am sure in a normal life that would be followed by a sigh of relief thinking of it as reinforcements. My mom is in no way "backup". I hear as she walks in the kitchen "Annie, Your house is a mess!" Well thanks mom, did you notice all the children running amuck in this place? We visited, she left.

Now as I wait for the curling iron to heat in a feeble attempt at looking human (gee, you should have heard the chaos when I ran to shower) I had to put up a baby gate to keep them away from the bathroom. I am stressing about my pending lunch date with my dad & stepmom. I should call her stepmonster today, for she was born on Halloween. Hmm, that may explain more than I think. She is nice, just a little .......off. So a Prozac cocktail pf my own would be helpful before I venture with all these heathens to eat lunch in public. Not sure on feeding the new one spaghetti, so I will make him a lunch for there. I believe I shall get off here and feed the Princess hers before we go, nothing worse than cold Beer Cheese Spaghetti! Oh Yum, I just realized (tummy grumble..grumble) that at no point have I fed anyone. OH MY GOD! ok, noticing that all the cookies I baked yesterday are gone, my kids must have fed themselves.

Yeah, so take away the mother of the year award again!

Hey! My baby was on the news this morning! 7 months old! Woo Hoo, I taped it. Gimme back my award!
