It Was A Rough Weekend

On Sunday at 1PM I sent the following text to my Dad and sister:

Just to give you an idea of Jesse's "creativity" she has in the last 24 hours: put chocolate syrup under the carpet threshold between the doors, colored the carpet blue, bloodied James nose jumping on him, made her own pancakes, painted the kitchen floor, colored herself and James with markers, emptied the soap dispensers, used an entire roll of toilet paper to clean herselft and flushed it, put together her puzzles several times, colored her coloring book, ate an entire bag of chocolate chips with James, ate my sweettarts....she slept for 9 of those hours...I am scared for the rest of the day and I am tired.

My dad replied:

Aren't KIDS GREAT!

My sister replied:

I would be cowering in the corner! That reminds me of that movie with John Ritter and the red haired little boy terror...what was that? Devils child or something

I replied:

Makes you wonder what James has been doing? He has been unsupervised while I run Jesse damage control

Yeah, so those words bit me big time. James topped all Jesse's craziness in one fatal blow. I even forgot to mention the powdered sugar incident with Jesse and all together all she did was nothing compared to what James did. At 4:30PM I texted Dad and Janne a picture (see below) with the following message:

See the end is burnt? James stuck it in the TV and burnt up the TV. He said it didn't shock him. Thank God. The TV is fried. I knew something was gonna happen. At least it was only a TV.

For the record, I was doing this all day:

Yeah. I ignored the chaos, went to my happy place and ate bonbons. *I totally did. Have I mentioned I am a multi-tasker? Literally. Jon came home to a fairly clean house, clean kids and it was calm. Despite it all, Jon did not get ambushed when he walked in the door from his full day of work. My dad seemed really concerned about that part of the story, because he was talking to Janne and Jon and Dad was all "Does Jon realize what is going on at his house?!". HAHA! Dad has been ambushed before, he was doing the man thing and hopefully protecting his son-in-law from the ambush I had waiting at home. BWAHAHAHAH!*

James did this:

Jon did this:

I did this:

Jesse did this:

All is good in our world! No spankings were issued and we survived the weekend.

Peace and I'll tell you about Wicked in a few days. I am still high.
