Day "Off"?
A birthday Party success at the bowling alley.
The gift Rachel wanted is on the way, and it prompted a whole turn around of arrangements.
After the party we spent HOURS splitting the kids rooms from play room/sleep room to each of them having their own. It wouldn't have been such a big deal if it hadn't involved a 150 pound bed frame coming up the stairs, and consequently assembled (using the instructions with misprints and the pieces that didn't quite fit). Of course, when one assembles a bed, one must disassemble and remove to the ground floor what is already there- and that caused great heart (and hand) ache to the husband.
Personally, I spent 4 hours sitting on the floor of the play room sorting each any every little pile of shit and box of crap into his, hers, and trash. No less than 5 bags FULL of various bits of broken and out dated toys came out of that room. It was a much harrowing process... Especially trying not to reach over and smack a child every time I put my hand into God knows what and said gross.
But it is all done, and now I can spend hours sorting thru the fallout of laundry and various bits of odds and ends that spilled forth into other parts of the house. I go today to see Dr. J- my sweet airheaded Ortho Doc to see if I get that letter to get off the fourth floor. If I do, there will be many more hours spent sorting, trashing and organizing the incredible amount of shit 4 people accumulate over the course of 4 years.
