5:10 pm – Ask Tony if he will watch Liam and deal with Aidan while I take a bath. Ask Aidan if he has to go potty (no) and inform them I am locking the door (a treat!).
5:30 – Aidan has to go to the bathroom. Twenty minute bath is interrupted by having to get out of tub, dripping, to unlock the door so he can pee, despite there being two bathrooms in the house. Tony claims that this is my first interrupted bath in days. HA!
5:33 – Get dressed in front of all three of them, since the choice made for rooms to play in was the room where I keep my clothes.
5:35 – Take Liam downstairs to play to avoid whining. He immediately demands my tooth flosser with violent whining. Without delay, he begins alternately scrubbing the floor with it and trying to stick it in my mouth. Reminder: Put flosser in dishwasher for next round of heat cleaning.
5:45 – Cheer GO GO GO! as Liam climbs stairs of own volition.
5:50 – Take Liam from Tony after Liam walks into a wall. Get Tony to fix him a cup of milk and go down to put him to bed.
5:55 – Put Liam into bed after humming lullaby in pitch black nursery for five minutes. Head upstairs.
Five full minutes of getting Aidan situated so HOPEFULLY he'll pass out after no nap today.
6:00 – Miss America begins. Commentary also begins.
6:19 – Aidan announces he's ready to go to bed. Tony is pretending not to hear us, despite my loudly saying, "CAN YOU WAIT TILL THEY ANNOUNCE THE TOP FIFTEEN?" I run downstairs with him, read a Little Critters book (or, half of one), sing This Little Light of Mine, kiss, hug, and run back upstairs just in time to see Miss Alabama be the LAST of the top fifteen. No clue who the first fourteen were yet. Ugh.
6:23 – Find out they only announced a few of the final fifteen first! Yeah!
6:32 – Fix bloody mary. Thank you, Zing Zang! No thanks to you, Worcestershire sauce, since you exploded onto the counter. And thanks to you, fridge – for the last two pickled okras. Yeehaw! Listen to Liam talking in bed through monitor. Refuse to go down to get him to sleep.
6:49 - More commercials. Liam finally quiet. Email commentary so far to Jenny and Candace, as Jenny is the only person I know who may care, and Candace I know will read my emails. I THINK both boys are sleeping. Yeehaw.
Morning...
5:05 – Liam starts hollering to be gotten out of bed. I didn't get to sleep last night until after midnight, after two Tylenol PMs and watching an entire movie... Told Tony to go to bed and finally got to sleep after midnight. Of course, Liam doesn't sleep in. Spend next half hour feeding Liam bananas and cereal and keeping him from (a) destroying anything (b) calling Candace on my cell phone (how does he always call her?) and (c) driving me insane.
5:43 – Aidan comes penguin walking into the living room. Tony still asleep. Aidan asks for banana, takes one bite, then gives up. Gives banana to Liam, who is now eating his third banana, while Aidan whines because I won't fix him cocoa puffs until Daddy gets up.
6:00 – Liam starts pooping. Messy living room starts driving me slowly insane.
6:10 – The boys and I dance into the kitchen to the beat of Liam's LeapFrog maracas to make coffee. Tony saunters up, feeling guilty.
