Boring......Did You Read the Title of This Blog?

My life is freakin' boring. I can't believe that I have not posted for two weeks! What have I been doing? If the past two weeks were like today, the answer to that question is, "surviving". Here is what my day was today.

• Wake up
• Get Kate up and off to school.
• Get back in bed until Ella gets up.
• Watch cartoons with Ella until 11am in bed.
• Get up and get dressed/semi-ready for the day.
• Make my bed and fold some laundry.
• Make Ella lunch.
• Force Ella to eat her lunch.
• Hope Ella ate enough lunch so that she is not a PIA for the rest of the afternoon.
• Open a diet coke (late in the day for me. I usually start early!) and eat some pot stickers.
• Go outside with Ella and proceed to spend the next two hours chatting with my neighbor on her lawn.
• Go check on the neighbor boy who I am babysitting, to make sure he is still asleep on my bed.
• He's awake.
• The neighbor boy (NB) wakes up, comes outside, squishes two Halloween Oreos in his hand, trips, falls twice and melts down twice, gets kicked (or something) in the head by a bigger kid and has another melt down.
• Haul Ella into her room potato sack style so she can finish her tantrum without my presence.
• My neck still hurts. Cursed drunk driver!!!!
• Get Ella out of her room. She PROMISES she will be nice.
• NB goes home.
• Kate gets home from school
• Kate melts down because I told her she needs to apologize for something she did on accident.
• Console Kate.
• Chat with more neighbors.
• Go inside and make dinner.
• Let Kate go to a friends house which upon her departure causes Ella to melt down because she was not invited. (Talk about fat tears!)
• Walk with Ella in tow to get Kate.
• Go home and get the kids dinner
• Force Ella to eat. Again.
• Run bath water for Ella.
• Help Kate with her homework.
• Bathe kids.
• Get the kids a snack.
• Read to Ella about spiders (she picked the book!).
• Spend the next hour in bed with Ella trying to get her to sleep.
• Read with Kate.
• Put Kate to bed.
• Eat some dinner.
  Talk to Tyler.
• Check my e-mail.
• Write this post.
• And now I will go to bed so I can prepare to do it all over again tomorrow. Can't wait.

I don't know why I was thinking of this picture but when I pulled it up to have a look it totally made me laugh! That was such a fun day, frolicking in the mucky mud of the Virgin River down in St. George with my Aunt and cousins. Fun day in August 2003.
