i have one…you know you’ve been distracted when you realize that your only ONE is nowhere to be found, but you hear the dog whining (also missing) You find them both on the bedroom floor and the baby is holding the remote to the shock collar. OOPS!

That’s a good one, Boo. Have fun in New Jersey. TWO, the laundry, and I’ll be waiting for you when you get back.

PS: have you seen my dark jeans?

8 is my arch-nemesis! I laugh looking through our family photos. In the background of each picture is 1 to 2 full laundry baskets. They are in every room of the house and we spend our days sorting through them looking for something to wear.

5 is also close to my heart. I may get rats in there soon feeding off of the castoff poptarts (organic, of course) and thousands of cheerios.

Isn’t that the way with the second born, you leave her bulging in her diaper until it’s completely filled; while, you would never had done that with the eldest. I think of it as saving the planet.
As for the dead mouse. Ewww.

Hahaha! Don’t worry, I know the email would have been awesome!

I too have experienced 9,8,6,5,4 and 3. Except that for number 8, the pile is usually comprised of pretty much every clothing item, blanket, sheet, towel and washcloth in the house because I waited for forever to do laundry and even longer to fold what I did do! It also usually ends up on the floor from a combination of being picked through by the family and dumped out by Donnie who likes to use the basket as an SUV for him and his reindeer, Superman, Diego DVD and hot wheels car.

I know you already covered this, but why does mothering have to involve so much fecal matter? It saddens me every time I’m reminded of it.
