Another day

School is back in session. I don't know that I am happy about that. I kinda miss having them around. Yes I know that they argue and fight when they are here, but they get along too. I do have more time to get all the boring chores done now though. Yep I will be washing the kitchen floor in about 10 minutes. Anyone care to join me? Nope didn't think so.
On the bright side, with them in school, I will have a cleaner home, kids back in their routine and Belle back in her routine. Little munchkins need routines to keep them happy. And when they are happy Mommy is happy, then the whole family is allowed to be happy! :)
That will be really good, because we have been pretty stressed over here. Michael Sr. is getting ready to resubmit our addition plans to the city. Hopefully the city will approve our house addition plans this time and we can start on that this summer. I know that Michael has been waiting to do this for so long. He really can't wait. It would be nice to have 2 more bedrooms in our house. A utility room would be welcomed too. The bigger family room for a bigger family is an awesome thing to hope for. Poor guy, he keeps submitting them and fixes everything that they want. Like we have to put in halogen lights. Why is it there business what kinda lights we put in our home, but whatever. I guess recessed does not work in our city. God forbid you might want a (gasp) lamp in the room. Then a different plan checker finds something else equally important to stall us on. It all happens for a reason. I know. I tell myself that all the time. Had we gone through with our first plans on the house we would have only added a master bedroom suite and family room, probably bumped out the girls room a little, but that is it. god knew we were gonna have Belle and had us wait to do the addition. So I am sure there is a reason for the hold up on this one. Just feel so bad for Michael though. He has done so much work already. I know he does not like to be nonproductive either. So he is stuck doing nothing. Yet, and it drives him nuts.
Oh crud! Did you hear that?
Oh good golly and a basket of brownies!
That stupid kitchen floor is yelling at me to quit my griping and clean her up!
I guess she does not like having spilled apple juice all over her making her sticky.
Maybe it is the crumbs the baby left from dumping the whole bag of saltines on her making her itchy and scratchy. That would start to bug me also. I know I love a hot bubble bath to. So off I go to bathe my well lived on family floor. May this bath put her in a good mood for when the children return to walk all over her again.
