Frogs

Have you ever seen a frog in the water?  Nothing visible except their eyes, sticking out, surveying their surroundings like a submarine. 
Here, just in case you can't conjure up that mental image....

Well, thats how I feel. 
Literally. 
It's like two steps forward and three back.

Get one kid to sleep early, the other is awake until almost midnight.

Two loads of laundry done, five left.

Kitchen spotless, bathroom/bedrooms/living room looks like a tornado came through.

Playroom just about complete and ready for carpet, storage room attached to it just beginning construction. 
And have I mentioned that a 4 week project turned into 14?  Cause it did.  Literally.  And still counting. 

I have a pathway to the computer and through to the living room, as the rest of the dining room is storage for the two incomplete rooms above. 
I had to just about climb over a mountain to feed the guinea pig. 

Let the dog out Saturday around 11am.  Then I took the kids out for the day.  Upon arriving home at 7pm I noticed said dog at the gate.  I forgot him.  All day.  Outside.  And he's a chihuahua. 
Thank God he's fat, no chance a hawk could fly away with him for dinner. 

Oh, and I found a mound of cookies in Stink's bed.  Apparently he has been hording them like a hamster.  *reminder*  Need to stop that child from watching CNN....recession is getting to him. 

And I just figured out we could have gone to Disney World on what it cost to rehab these two rooms.  In luxury to boot.
A vacation would have been nice. 

So, like I was saying.  A frog.  Under water.  Only I don't have gills.

Oh hang in there. Medical issues have been weighing us down in the water, but sounds like you are having some real hurdles to "hop" over.

Haaaaahaa!

OK. I know. Not funny.

I am so with you. Half the time I try to clean a room only to have it look worse than when I started. The getting organized part just makes a bigger mess.

I know what you mean too. I hope you can find a few minutes peace today

Oh Val, I do know what you mean. It just never ends, does it?
