One of those days...UPDATED

Well, today has just been one of those days. And "yes" these are pictures of the kids vegetating in front of the TV. I'll give you a recap of our morning so far and you'll understand why I've just decided today can be a TV day! I'm sure all of you mommies can relate.
1. It's raining outside.
2. Christian has a fever (not sure why).
3. While trying to have "book time" on the couch with the three kids, Christian decided to pour my entire diet coke (that I had just opened) onto the living room carpet. Poor Nathan was so upset about this that even he started to tell me "sorry oody." Oody is how he says Judy...very cute.
4. Abby got tired of the boys so she locked herself in her room. She usually does this about once a day and usually I'm fine with it. She's the kind of kid who need alone time and usually she goes in her room and plays with her Polly Pockets. Well, not today. Today she took a nap....ahhh...that totally messes up nap time.
5. It's almost one o'clock and I'm still wearing my pjs. At least the kids are dressed.
6. A binkie ended up in the toilet.
7. When I mentioned to Abby that Christian wouldn't eat anything she suggested that I give him marshmallows as a snack. Of course he overheard this and decided that sounded good to him too...so all he's eaten all day is marshmallows. Very healthy!
8. Abby usually waits until the very last second to go potty. Therefore she never seems to have time to shut the door, so the boys usually end up joining her. Do you know what kind of problems this causes??? Toilet paper everywhere. I fight over who gets to flush. And then everyone wants to wash their hands and of course their hands aren't the only things that get wet.

So anyway, I hope our afternoon is totally uneventful. I did get one thing accomplished this morning. We have this very, very annoying Wiggles Guitar. It plays eight different songs, just incase the first three don't drive you crazy. I usually try to hide it under the couch or in a closet. Well, today I posted it to sell on Ebay! I decided it would be better appreciated in someone elses home who has a very patient mommy. I'll be happy if I even get a dollar for it!

It's about 5:30 and I thought I would give a little update. We had a good afternoon. Everyone took a small nap (including me-a rare treat). Amy ended up coming home early from work because I got a doctor's appointment for Christian and I didn't want to haul all four kids with me. Christian was great at the doctor, but is now on an antibiotic. He has a "booboo roat." Translation= A sore throat. It could be strep, but we didn't do the test. That would have been extremely traumatic, so he got the meds. because of the combination of symptoms; sore throat, runny nose, fever. Christian is the WORST at taking medicine and the doctor always wants to give him amoxicillin which you give three times a day for 10 days. It's always so terrible, so I finally got a doc. who would listen and the med. he's on is only 1 time a day for 5 days. YIPEE..the small joys of life.
