messy, messy, messy

so, life has been crazy. we moved this last weekend, for the most part. we still have bits and pieces to move, but since there is no one waiting to move in right behind us, it's not a problem. i had spent the week cleaning and running around getting ready for the move. the new house wasn't cleaned well, and i hate moving into a dirty house. the big problem was the tub; there was about a quarter inch of soap scum in the bottom, and that had to cleaned out before i was comfortable using it. so saturday rolls around, and everyone is showing up in about an hour to help move us and nothing is in boxes yet, and i'm done. you know when you are exhausted and you just can't do anything more how you tend to shut down? well, that's where i was at. shaun told me to not worry about it and they would get things taken care of. so i didn't do anything. that was the hardest part.

so, i get the washer and dryer and you can see from a previous post, but i can't take them until the other couple are gone. since monday is laundry day, we were back here at the old house to do laundry. while i'm trying to find things to do to occupy myself, they get into the food coloring and proceed to dump it on the ice cream maker box-thankfully, no clothes got dirty. i got that cleaned up and then they decide they are going to take shauns monet puzzle box apart. monet was an impressionistic artist who used the dot method to create his amazing paintings. these puzzles are torturous to put back together. in fact, it took 3 hours or more to get the 6 small puzzles in order. while i was doing that. taylor put his halloween costume back on by himself, they got into some foundation samples and spread them all over the kitchen counter, and they started in on the office (which is still here. shaun has a project he needs to do and it can't get done if he has no office to work in. we will move it over this weekend, i think.).

this morning while i'm laying in bed with the baby they got into my makeup and proceeded to paint each other. since that was the only thing they got into this morning wasn't terrible. but, it occurred to me that if i can't even handle my children how am i going to be able to handle school on top of everything else. i still haven't figured out what to do with the kids while i'm in classes. maybe going back to school was wishful thinking and i should just forget about it.
