As if today couldn't get any worse, Kelly threw my cell phone in the bath water.
I swear someone somewhere is laughing their ass off at the day I had.
The lipstick on the comforter was just the beginning. A stupid Kirby sales rep rang the door bell after lunch. And wouldn't stop ringing when I tried to ignore him. Which got the kids all excited "Mom, the doorbell!" so I couldn't pretend we weren't home at that point. "No, we don't need a new vacuum. No, I don't want a test cleaning, we bought all new carpet a week ago. No, this is a very bad time, go away." Finally he left. And I realized Kyle and Kelly had wandered off. Which usually spells disaster.
First I didn't even realize I owned any lipstick (I'm a chapstick kinda gal). Must have been a freebie with a make-up purchase. But did they put any lipstick on themselves? No. On the walls? No. Only on my beautiful white down comforter. *sobs* Greg was glad they didn't put any on the new carpet (however the carpet still got cleaned today, stay tuned). I haven't tried to clean the comforter yet (thanks for all the great suggestions!) because it's a king sized and doesn't fit in our machines. I'll have to make a trip to the Laundromat when Greg gets home. *sigh*
So after a lot screaming from me, I sent the kids outside and put Kelly down for her nap. Ah, a moment of peace. Then the kids started running in and out to go potty, get a drink of water, etc. I need an outhouse and an outdoor drinking fountain. During the insanity, someone (I suspect Kyle) tracked dog poop into the house and onto the newly carpeted stairs. Argh! I caught it right away and Spot Shot took care of it though. I don't know why he was even in the house because I caught him peeing in the yard again. (Yes, I'm going to make him pay for that one when he's 16 and dating. *evil laugh*)
Ugh, I don't even like reliving this day long enough to type it! Kelly made a mess in her diaper and spread the mess to her crib, sheet, and blankets. The kids destroyed the toy room while I made supper. And then came the baths where Kelly tossed my cell phone in over my shoulder while I was washing the twin's hair. It's currently not working, I'm hoping after it dries that it might still work.
I'm afraid to ask what's next. A tornado? Another Midwest power outage? The plague?
So how was your day?
