Better than an alarm clock

Why is it I lay in bed at night not able to sleep and make mental lists of all the things I should do or blog about. I think of all these superbly funny & witty things to blog about thinking you'll all get a good laugh out of them. Then I slowly doze off. A few short hours later daylight comes and I am ripped from my sleep with the realization with one eye 1/4 open that Trent is using Big Daddy's nightstand as his colouring palate. Damnit! What the hell takes red crayon off of some fake piece of crap mdf/wood. Well, my mental "list" & funny witty blog is now shot to hell except for my new list that I started after I tripped over the pile of CD's laying on the floor in my lunge to stop Trent.

MY TO DO LIST ~ July 11, 2005

1. Teach Trent what paper is used for.
2. Find a Mr. Clean magic eraser.
3. Hide all crayon & colouring substances.
4. Ice my hamstring, I think I ripped the shit out of it tripping over the CD's
5. Throw all our CD's in the garbage and invest in a MP3 player.
6. Phone Big Daddy and whine about it all.
7. Blog about something no where near as witty and funny as I had planned while dozing off.

Other than all that, today was a great day. Big Daddy shot a round of golf with male family members today. I am glad he got to enjoy his Sunday. Does that sound sarcastic? Because it really wasn't meant to. He doesn't get to golf very often anymore so it's nice when he can go.

The only downfall is that we are getting ready to go on holidays for a few days and we need to pack some clothes. Of course we prefer to pack clean clothes so I brave doing some laundry.

I will be the first to admit I am spoiled Big Daddy does our laundry. Well except for my disgusting cloth diapers and I don't blame him for trying to get out of those... that was the deal when I started using them. So, I sort the laundry and take a load down there. Well, if I don't forget about it. What is wrong with me??? I am the most useless laundry do-er in North America. I need some kind of bar to come out of the wall and whap me upside the head to remind me to go switch it around. Not only do I get through 2 loads but I discolour all our towels??

Don't worry, it was NOT red crayon. But I guess a new towel I bought leaked blue dye onto everything. You would think you would get something a little better in quality than leaky blue towel for $2 at Wal-Mart. Sheesh. But thank goodness they were only towels, but now at the lake we will all have matching blue towels. I am sure Big Daddy will be really appreciative of my efforts tonight when he gets home. Do you think? Right, better go pretend I am asleep. I think I might cover the red crayon on the night stand with a towel.
