A Very Hectic Week:

I have not posted anything the last few days because we were moving! Woohoooo! Ok, now that the excitement is done....a few things have happened during this process.

I learned that when living on a second floor, it is hard to move furniture through skinny hallways. Day one of our new place (lots of room btw) I found out how difficult it is to move a full, mind you I did say FULL, boxspring up my stairs. Thankful for the wonderful person helping me, I am a female and am smarter then the situation. Men must learn to listen to females on occasion, we do sometimes know better. I have yet to move in the rest of our furniture, but when the time comes, Im sure I will be having a good laugh in the end.

I never realized how WONDERFUL it is to sleep ALONE. The minions have their own bedroom with a door that closes! Oh, did I tell you that they cant open this door either? Yes, it is absolutely heaven. When it gets dark outside (we have yet to set up lamps etc) they start to wind down and they walk themselves to their bed. I have to tell them to go, but it still an awesome weight lifted when you aren't fighting a child at bedtime. They have fussed once the door is closed but it last about a minute and then you hear snores. I did mention that they cannot open the door, right? This also means no feet in my face come 3am. We all sleep by ourselves and wake up refreshed and at an acceptable time.

We are in a 3 bedroom apartment. I have a backdoor that has steps leading down, and I have steps leading to my front door. My children have made a game of anything and everything can and will be rolled down these front steps. If there is anything missing, I can guarantee its down at the front door. We have yet to fall down these steps though. I'm hoping the track record holds up for the duration of our stay here.

We live right next to a elementary school. Yesterday, on the first day of school, the fire alarms went off around 6 am. Now I have no clue as to why, but I do know it took the fire department took over an hour to show up and turn them off. This did make for a wonderful day of cranky attitudes. And let me tell you, cranky toddlers is not any fun.

Here is a slight issue I have been dealing with. My children want to potty train but they refuse to sit on the toilet. So I have been dealing with my children taking off their diapers and using the bathroom on the floor! I have numerous times gone walking through the house, discover a diaper, and then discover poop or pee on my floor. I'm so tired of scrubbing my floors! Ugh, this is so frustrating. I know I am not the only one that goes through potty training issues with their children but this is too much.

Today was fun. We had a beautiful thunderstorm come through, the trees are starting to turn and it was just great. Now my children throwing potatoes down the steps wasn't. Nor was the time that I slipped and severely have injured my arm. I could definetly use the wonderful healing knowledge of my old bosses. Oh how I miss home at times.

So that is and has been our week in a nutshell. My children find new ways everyday to turn little things into ways to drive this mama crazy

Until next time,
