Today for the first time in a long time I have a free day. By free day I mean that I don't have to take anyone anywhere or do anything for anybody. Today everyone's meals are "easy to get yourself" meals. All dishes and cups are washed and easily accessible to all (still in the dishwasher). The little pool in the backyard is all filled and ready for a nice afternoon soak for all.
In a few words, today is going to be relaxing. I'll just float around with a smile on my face around happy people.
This is where you hear the record on the record player scratch backwards.
It's 11 am and this is what has happened so far.

• I have been woken up repeatedly by the whole family. And by whole family I mean four children, two dogs, and two cats.


• The house is trashed because children were nervous about being relaxed.


• All the folded clean clothes and blankies in the bucket by my bed are dumped out and stepped on by Boris (my biggest baby who happens to be a Bullmastif) because I didn't get up when I was suppose to and he kept trying to wake me up.


• There are also dirty paw prints on the edge of my bed because he had to make sure I was okay and paying attention.


• Seraphina, (my little maltese) keeps attacking Boris, quite viciously I might add, for every move he makes, which is of course no deterent. She has yet to realize he can carry her in his mouth like the stuffed animals he carries around. He has yet to realize this as well.


• My daughter's Webkinz bunny has a torn eyeball because Boris is nervous and hungry. No one fed him this morning and he is apparently out of food to top it all off.


• Things are knocked over on every counter and tabletop imaginable because the cats (our two siamese) are apparently also out of food. Their glares and mews are both deafening.


• Children are fighting because they've trashed the place, do not plan on cleaning up as apparently no one can agree on who trashed what. The mess is making them freak out. I am refusing to clean up the mess. So is everyone else.


• I have yet to eat or take a shower. I've instead grabbed a CocaCola for breakfast to try to get into the mood of the day.

So, today. I'm going to have to go to the store to get dog and cat food (I should have planned better). I might as well return the movies to Blockbuster and get a new one or two to keep people occupied while "I" clean up and try to get rid of this headache.

I am feeling awesome! It's days like this that just make life worth while, isn't it?
