Well, the kids were terrible today. They kept fighting over anything they could both get their hands on. Then i cleaned up the living room and less than 30 min after i cleaned it they had made a mess in there again.I don't even think i was done cleaning it before they started to make a mess in there again. I tried to get them to pick it up but

I’m sorry, that would stress anyone out. I hope you and you little one are feeling better tomorrow. It seams like every one is having really bad days right now. I don’t understand why. It’s just odd it happening to so many people at the same time.

I can usually handle the fighting but i just feel like they have been fighting soo often that every time i would just yell at them. The not cleaning up, jeremy is saying i need to take some toys away again. This time, I might just take half and give them to someone else. Anybody take used toys anymore? I usually just throw them away but that just seams so wasteful if they are still in good condition.
Today has started better so far. Not as much fighting and my wrist and ankle are not hurting as much.

I agree, it would be wasteful to throw them away if they are still nice. I know when my oldest was little almost everything she owned was used. We just couldn’t afford to buy her new things. The places I know that take used toys are The V.A. (they will sell the toys cheep and the money goes to the military vets.) Good will, churches, and if you would like to make a little bit of money without having to have a garage sell, there are consignment stores you can take your stuff to and if they sell it they will give you a small percentage of it.

Sorry you slipped and fell. I get so frustrated when the kids mess up right after I clean. But, it seems inevitable, doesn't it? I always know its going to happen no matter what. I can't wait until they are old enough to help more. Today I had Petey cleaning the bathroom mirror. He did a pretty good job although it took him 10 minutes longer than it would have taken me, lol.

Thanks. it's not the first time i've fallen. I'm alright not as bad as it could have been. My wrist still a little sore but it doesn't bother me as long as i'm not swinging my wrist around. I think my ankle is fine this time. I'm going to have to be more careful so i don't fall again. I think i will get another bad sprain like i did earlier this year. I have a history of problems with my ankle.
Sometimes I wonder if it is even worth my time to even bother doing it if it just gets to be messy so fast but i know my hubby likes the house picked up. you know what i mean? Thats good that Petey is learning. Yeah i know i can do it faster but it is a learning experience for him so one day when he is out of the house he can do it himself. It is something i struggle with a lot. It is easier for me to do it just because there is always a fight over picking up toys then they want help. By then I could have been done.
