Just a typical 25 minutes

9:00 am: Holly is on the computer in the kitchen.

Blog-Stedman looks over her shoulder.

The younger boys are playing at the kitchen table with Legos next to the oldest who is working on schoolwork.

Ahhhh…nirvana.

9:01 am: Blog-Stedman leaves the room.

9:02 am: The three boys have requests for mommy.

#1 wants help with his work.

#2 would like another glass of milk.

#3 begs to go to the potty (despite not being potty trained in ANY sense of the word).

9:04 am:

Mommy fulfills all three requests.

Mommy answers school question about math.

Mommy obtains a full glass of milk from the fridge.

Mommy sets baby on toilet.

Good job Mommy!

9:05 am: Uh-oh!

#1 needs help. Math emergency.

#2 spills milk. Milk emergency.

#3 pees on mommy. Plain old emergency.

9:06 am: #2 walks to bathroom to make sure mommy hears his screams about the milk.

Legend:
lime green: milk footprints
orange: milk + pee footprints

9:07 am: Mommy strips boys #2 and #3 and starts a load of urine and milk soaked clothes.

Mommy washes her legs and feet.

Boy #1 continues to scream for help.

9:09 am: Mommy uses 3 washcloths, a spray cleaner and 15 minutes to mop up the pee pool, the milk pool and the tributaries that connect the two.

New clothes are placed on boys #2 and #3.

9:24 am: Mommy sits back at computer.

#1 has figured out his math problem on his own.

#2 and #3 sit with new clothes at table playing with Legos.

Ahhh…nirvana.

9:25 am: Blog-Stedman walks into room and inquires whether Holly is going to spend the whole day blogging.
