Mass chaos and a security system

Today was relatively slow for me in terms of daycare. Just my neighbor's kid, who is 9, and my friend's twins, who are 6. My own 4 slept in past 9 so we had a late breakfast with them. By the time I was ready to take the kids out to play and ride bikes, my ADT guy (Pat!!!) showed up for the install. I thought they were coming in the afternoon. So the kids played Wii while Pat and I chatted while we waited for the technician to show up. Let's see, that's 7 kids, and 3 adults once the tech got there. Oh yes, and a half crazed DOG! While they played Wii, and cheered and fought and made general noise, the tech was setting off the alarm intermittently, which really added fun to the chaos. Then my daycare mom and my little Allie Cat showed up to drop off their check. They probably thought I was going CRAZY!!! So at that point, hm, that's 4 adults, 1 dog and 8 kids. In my tiny shoebox house!! Once the extra adults left, it was temporarily quiet. But we still didn't get outside because by then it was lunch time! I let them have a "picnic" in the playroom because in the meantime, my friends Linda and Tracy came over for our shoebox club. So at least I had a quiet time for a bit. Until David and Isabelle BOTH had terrible bouts with diarrhea. I'm so sick of that - between the twins and the dog, I've cleaned up more watery stinky crap than normal people deal with in a year!!!

We're off to karate shortly, then dinner and baths and showers for ALL the kids! And swimming lessons tomorrow... It just doesn't end!

Oh, and did I mention Dave is out of town????

CALGON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
