You guys! My housekeeper is doing SUCH a terrible job of cleaning the bathtubs. It's so inexcusable. I'm actually withholding her entire Christmas bonus and I am NOT looking forward to that conversation.
What? I don't have a housekeeper? OH. Huh. That explains a lot.
"It's all fun and games until a house sparrow smears blood on the ceiling."-- Chinese proverb
One advantage of having four small children is that someone is always screaming or breaking something. Oh wait. That's not an advantage.
Um. Ok. One advantage of having four small children is that I no longer fret over whether or not to manipulate them during the holidays by saying, "Santa's watching you!" I just say it over and over, all day long without a hint of scruples.
After almost six years of data collection, I have deduced there is no difference between waking up in the morning and getting punched in the face.

your last two posts have been hilarious. love you.
Scruples are for people without children in need of just calming the F down.
I fully concur with the results of your 6 years of data collection. I've been collecting similar data for nearly 9 years and separately reached the same conclusion, therefore, it must be nearly established fact.
My housekeeper is doing terrible job on my house too. I would fire her if she wasn't ME.
I believe there is a correlation between how early it is when one wakes in the morning and how hard that punch feels.
Erin you're killing me. Happy first day of work tomorrow!
And I agree with you on the data collection. This weekend (because we could technically sleep in) Heidi has decided to wake up prior to 6am...whereas everyday last week (during the week when you are already up) she had to be woken at 8am.
Oh and you know you have a good sitter when you use the Santa comment and the sitter says, "Yeah I heard your dad is really tight with Santa." Boo-yah! Adults 2- kids 0. Mwhahahaa
This is off the subject, but we in Iowa are wondering if you are playing "Find Jesus" yet?!?!? :-)

i am still going, at almost 11 years now. certain fact.
sparrow proverb cracked me up, and i'm now going to have to print it and put it on the ceiling over my bed, so when my 2-year-old comes in to watch elmo in the morning before anyone is willing to get up, i can remember that at least we do not have sparrow blood on the ceiling.
until we have sparrow blood on the ceiling. then, all bets are off.
The other morning, I went to wake up my son and he punched me in the face. You're totally right: same thing!
like the chinese proverb :-)
I agree with Tracy--these last two posts have been classic MoMommy, now with even more frantic hilarity. Also, beautiful baby heads.
Lady, I don't know how you do it. I mean, stay witty and smart and do such great blog posts while working AND mothering four kids. You are my hero. Thanks for the laugh!
You have SO MANY BOYS in your life. Just look at those photos! No wonder you are worn slick. SO MANY boys. They deserve a houseful of girls, each one of them.
