Going Insane

Well I haven't had a chance to write in the past week and a half, I've been busy going INSANE!  No not really, but definately losing my mind!  There are so many things going on at my house right now.  My oldest made the football team, we are trying to get our house ready to put up for sale (which is a hopeless effort because everything I do to clean, the twins UNDO + some), my husband got a second job on the weekends, which he has to drive to Houston to (2 1/2 hour drive) so needless to say he doesn't come home after work on the weekends, he's just staying with a friend over there.  Did I mention my oldest is about to be 14?  Definately has the mentalitly of a TEENAGER.  So I have TWO - 2 year olds and a hormonal teenager at home.  Lucky me right?!  Well, for the record, I wouldn't change anything about my kids, but a live in nanny would be nice... :D

So today, I go into my room for 1 minute (with the door closed so the little tornados wouldn't follow me in there and destroy my room), and when I came out, they had gotten ahold of my can of PINS I use for sewing....



and  POURED them out in the middle of my living room (which is carpetted thank you very much).  So I spent about 30 minutes trying to find all of them, while fighting them to stay away so they didn't step on them.  Lots of fun, right?

So when I picked up all that I could see, I got the vacuum cleaner and passed it over the carpet.  While I was doing that, I noticed the noise my vacuum cleaner was making wasn't normal, but kept going anyways.  When I was done and about to pull the cord up, I noticed why it sounded different.  Not sure exactly when this happened, but my little devils somehow managed to take off the hose, and doesn't work right with the hose.

See?  No hose + vacuum job I just did = pointless

While I was doing my pointless vacuuming, they said they needed to potty (we are potty training right now which is a whole nother headache to share another day).  So I said to myself "good, they won't try to tackle the vacuum cleaner while I'm cleaning cause they'll be in the bathroom."  I opened the door to the bathroom (it has a childproof handle on it) for them so they could potty. 

After giving up trying to find the d$&@*#^ hose to the vacuum cleaner, which is probably gone forever now...I go into the bathroom to see if they have pottied like they claimed they needed to.  This is what Gunner was doing...

If you're thinking, "Aww he pottied", no, he did not.  What he did was waste half a roll of toilet paper.  Does anyone know that stuff is not cheap?!

The whole time he's doing this, Fisher is standing on his toilet playing in the water in the sink.  Getting water everywhere...

So I've officially HAD it by now, so I take them and make them lay down in their bed for a nap that they should've taken about an hour ago, and thinking back now, if they would've napped, none of this would've happened... So anyways, after making them lay down for the now second time, they STILL would not nap.  I have zero patience left and decide to just let them stay up before I have an aneurysm from my blood pressure being so high.

Fisher decides he's going to work on the vacuum cleaner.

Which of course does not work because he can't find the hose they lost. 

In your opinion, do you think I have any reason to be pulling out my hair?!!

If you say no, then BITE ME!

If you say yes, then thanks for your sympothy and letting me vent for a little while!  Husband will be home from his regular job in 18.5 minutes!  Yes I count down to the minute.

So until then, I'll just Fake it with a Smile.
