And I laughed so hard at which ever one of your kids who wants to go to school with a net and a plunger! So funny! Our toilets are constantly clogged too. Right now I'm pretty sure the 2 year old is the culprit. I think that kid uses a whole roll every time he goes to the bathroom despite my pleas that Mommy be the only one to wipe his tush.

You are Super Mom warrior of bats, sickness and the ER. Just as an FYI. My cousin lives in a barn that they turned into a house. Anyway they get bats all the time they also have ceiling fans. What is worse than waking up to a bat flying around your house? Finding one that is decapitated on your kitchen table when you come down for breakfast.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05615930943939757293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-60361723718876116512014-01-30T12:42:59.136-05:002014-01-30T12:42:59.136-05:00Well done, WonderWoman :D I knew the bat wouldn...Well done, WonderWoman :D I knew the bat wouldn't have you evaded for too long :)Lizzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17480448062269641320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-9861008037121280182014-01-30T12:03:31.293-05:002014-01-30T12:03:31.293-05:00I cracked up when COW handed YOU the net and went ...I cracked up when COW handed YOU the net and went off to shower.

My body refuses to move before there is a 6 on the display. Sadly, this means I have far too little time to get my butt and Kidzilla's in gear. We are not morning people here. I'm usually jumping out of bed at 6:35 screaming something like "oh sh*t I'm going to be freaking late!" I really have to get more sleep.

With the zero temps, we wanted to see him before we did that step.) but he never came out of hiding. We searched the boys' room, but couldn't find him.

Well, the host decided to cancel the play group at the last minute "because it's foggy". No I'm not making this up. Needless to say, I was miffed because I skipped skating practice, which I love, to meet other moms, and I was annoyed that the play date was cancelled at the last minute because of a "fog". Pffft.
