Today was just one of those days where I knew there was alot to be done, but didn't get much accomplished. We are still working on MANY projects around the house and yard - including the bathroom, the landscaping around the front of the house, the garden (which isn't even halfway done and its already June!), and my house seems to know its been neglected. This is also the first full week of summer vacation, which normally wouldn't mean a whole lot since my kids aren't in school, however, since I do babysit for three other kids, that means that this is the first week that Abi has been here all day. If the last two days are any indication of what the rest of the summer is going to be like, its going to be a very long summer! In between trying to empty the dishwasher, sweep the floor, and other very simple tasks, I spent the morning settling arguments and breaking up fights.
Luckily, naptime came easily for the little ones, and I was able to spend a little time outside working on the landscape blocks that will eventually become a border for the front flowerbed. However, naptime ended too early when my wonderful cousin drives by with a load of corn in the semi and forgets that between 1 and 4 pm, there is a "No Honking" Zone in front of my house. Oh, and it wasn't just one short pull of the horn, it was multiple long pulls on the horn, most likely because his 5 year old son was with him and was encouraging him. Needless to say, a peek inside the front door revealed Kenzie sitting up looking dazed and startled at the same time, which then led her to wake up Bradon, and yup, Lillia heard the horn too, so she was awake. There went my work time out in the yard.
Bedtime came really early for the girls tonight, which meant I should have taken advantage of my time and actually gotten something done. Well, I did. Sorta. I started a blog. A few things in the kitchen still need to be done, toys need to be picked up, and the floor needs to be swept. Maybe it'll wait until tomorrow.

Oh, nothing and I mean nothing, makes me more disgruntled than someone interrupting Blake's nap time. That's tantamount to just asking me to shoot you. Bummer Aims!
My dear cousin and I have had several chats and he is has gotten better about honking. He only does it when he sees kids outside and in the morning. However, he isn't hauling as much corn right now, so we'll have to wait and see when harvest comes. He has a short memory sometimes.
