First day of documenting insanity

I have grown as a person since the rootbeer is the root of all evil blog. I figured a blog was the better way to to document all of my kids quirks, funny sayings, crazy moments, thing that make me want to have a meltdown, you get the picture. My disclaimer is I love my kids. I love that I have the opportunity to stay home with them. However, there are some days that make me want to throw myself on the floor and have a tantrum with them.

So, we have been dealing with Grant having H1N1 this week. He did make my morning when he started crawling after a rawhide dog bone. Jack woke up with a fever and feeling bad. After a little while he started to get sick. He made it in the potty (i praised him for making it in the potty) and God love him when he said (in between hurls) "thank you for saying good job". He then decided to hide out underneath the crib in an attempt to make himself feel better. Don't they say animals go off and hide before they die? Jack must have felt really lousy!

So today has been crazy. 2/3 of the kids have snot running down their faces constantly. 2/3 of the kids have fevers up and down. 1 child (no names) is hitting terrible 2's and is getting so sassy! I found that particular child who shall not be named sitting in a dry bathtub with the cat. When I finally got the chance to take a nap (because for some reason wiping all these snotty faces happened to get me sick too) I woke up to puppy pee on the floor and Karee bringing in groceries. Apparently, Libby jumped on him which resulted in a beer bottle breaking on the floor and beer spilling all over the floor.
Tonights bedtime ritual has begun with me breaking up a fight over the cat. Pulling legs, tail and head..I wonder if it is like the wishbone and whoever gets the bigger piece of the cat will win.

Thank goodness it is almost bedtime. Let the madness continue tomorrow!
