Where am I? What am I doing? And who are these Monkeys who will not leave me alone?

For those of you who are not in Kansas, we are snowed in. The Monkeys didn't have school today and thus, my home that was 90% clean yesterday is now a big, fat, stinky mess. I may cry. No really, I might. I have a load of laundry in the washer. The washer is finished. The dishes in the dishwasher are clean. I did part of about 3 workouts. I lack anything that looks like motivation. I lack anything that sounds like motivation. I lack a desire to do anything at all. Oh dear, this is horrible.

Where does this all stem from? Well the 5:40 am wake up call that school was canceled was the first step. The lack of sleep from this point on was step 2. Monkey-3 waking up at 6:30 was step 3. RS going out to shovel the driveway at 6:40 was step 4. The boy Monkeys getting up at 7:00 was step 5. And I stopped counting at this point. Monkey-3 being a tearful mess was step 1,000,000. I have them down for a nap and I'm sitting hear thinking about going to put the laundry in the dryer!

I'm thankful for the time I get to spend with my children, but sometimes I really, really love the times when they are in school and not forcing me to be the mean one. I like my clean house. I miss my clean house. My Monkeys don't understand the value of a clean house. I can't wait to listen to them complain about their unclean houses someday. I'm going to laugh and laugh and laugh. Then I will look at my clean house, unmussed by three Monkeys, and snuggle with the Rocket Scientist.
