Trials!

Whoever said that being a mother was wonderful and great and "oh so rewarding" was not a mother. Today has been one of the worst mommy days since Jared left. I went to bed in a sour mood then wake up to a semi trashed house and a hole in my sofa. Cole lost video games/ computer for the summer. He is now figuring out how to do extra things to obey to get them back. I can tell you now, it's gunna be a while for that one.

Brit's done her fair share of testing today. While I was watching BYU tv today she decided to "experiment", even though I told her repeatedly to not do it. I walk in to the dining room and find a mess- stamps and ink pads to ketchup, shredded cheese and chocolate chips. She lost 7 dolls for that little mess.

Ashton was a "dream"compared to the other to. He only get into water today. I think I've washed all of our towels 2 times today. Water I can deal with.

And to top it off, Cole decides he wants to cook tonight and stands on a cupboard door that is 5 inches taller than he is. He broke it in half! It is taking everything I have inside of me to not sting him up by his toes.

It will be so nice when the kids are out of my house and Jared is the only one destroying property- that I can handle.
