Today was harsh. Bug was totally onboard with the thought of moving in with Jem, so after mister mrtl took off the fun began. I moved three dressers (two already in the room but still requiring removal of drawers), dismantled, moved, and reassembled one bed, pushed a couple endstands back and forth before deciding to use other furniture for their purpose, tore apart the interlocking foam floor squares from the playroom and reassembled in Bug's room (now referred to as the "toy room"), scuttled a multiude of toys from the playroom to the toy room, all while juggling the girls around to keep them out of my way and remembering to feed them! (And I also ran the dishwasher and did all the dishes. This is me in single-mama mode; it's disgusting how productive I get. I'm now working on a room-by-room list of things I want to do over the next five weeks. Sanity is telling me not to add any kind of painting or wallpaper removal to it. mwahahahahaha)
The time after the kids go to bed will be the most trying. I had planned to pull out the "Biggest Loser" DVD tonight, but my legs and back are telling me they done had enough. My body has been trained to have something the kids can't have after they're asleep; that chocolate orange is haunting me. Maybe I'll just have a cosmo. Of course, then I may get a little weak-willed... will have to think this through.
I'm currently distracting myself from the multitudes of chocolate downstairs by harrassing mister mrtl in IM about bringing home the Labels for Education off his microwavable soup. He's terribly resistant over the idea of doing something so difficult, and is questioning my seriousness over bringing home the container if he can't get it off. For the duration of writing this, there's been a long pause. oooh! A ding. Let's see his retort! Further questioning. Doesn't he realize how much the Chunky labels are worth? Dude. Just bring them home and there won't be any trouble. As if.
+: Before bath tonight, Bug offered to read Jem a story while she sat on the potty. Girl read the entire book, only getting caught up on one word: laugh. We agreed that this was a really good word to know. I'm sure she won't forget it.
What are these Labels for Education you mention? Is this a new money making opportunity? How can I participate?
But seriously, I am seriously interested that what this means. Seriously.
Ok, clearly I am feeling a bit punchy due to a lack of chocolate. How will you cope? I sure as hell can't. Another thing I can't do is do up my pants...
