Send In The Reinforcements!

I think my two kiddos are out to get me today!! They are driving me CrAZy!!! This morning they got up just as happy as could be, things were going well until I got an important phone call. I was on the phone....a little frustrated....but trying to understand what the person was trying to say and what I needed to do to fix the given situation. The whole time Mr. C is standing right next to me yelling, "mommy, mommy, mommy....." I try to get him to go away but to no avail. I get off the phone a little defeated and ask him "what do you want?" He replies, "nofing"! Err....so I go off to search for the cell phone so I can call Big B at work and tell him about the earlier phone call. (I have to call Big B on the cell since his work number is long distance). Anyway, I am talking to Big B and the kiddos are squealing in the other room....heaven knows the chaos they are causing. So before I go and check on them I try quickly to scan and e-mail some paperwork that Big B needs. As I was hitting the send button the doorbell rings! It is 9:00am....if I was a good mommy I would be dressed and ready to go....but I'm not....needless to say I am the last one who gets to take a shower. Mr. C spends at least an hour in the tub on days that we have no where to go. And lets face it I let him stay in as long as he wants because he causes less destruction that way! Anyway, back to the doorbell....I am in my pj's.....I live in the ghetto.....my hubby is not home....I am NOT going to open the door. The kiddos know the routine.....go quickly and quietly to mommy's room while she sneaks a peak out the peep hole. Anyway, Mr. C was good...a little extreme....but good he covered himself up with a blanket and crawled to the back. However, Sweet E starts screaming "Mimi, Mimi!" Which was not good....because since we have a swamp cooler we have our windows open so the inside of our house does not become a swamp! So I knew whoever was outside could hear her. She usually follows her brother...but since Mimi had visited the day before she naturally thought that it was her again. So before I could reach her she started to pull up the blinds to make contact with our visitor. Before she had them all the way up I grabbed her and ran her to the back. Then I hear a voice from outside, "It's UPS." I quickly think if there are any packages we should be expecting...and there aren't. I was about to tell him through the door to just leave it, when the UPS man realized he was at the wrong house! Uhh....so I go get the kids and tell Sweet E it is her turn in the bath. We spend a good amount of time picking out her clothes....she insists on picking out her own clothes. I hand them to her and tell her to go put them in the bathroom. In the mean time the phone rings...I answer it....it is my mom....I say "hi" then I hear Mr. C yell...."Sweet E put her clothes in the TOILET!!!" I quickly hang up.....and sure enough she had!!! ERRR....she has NEVER done anything like that before! So I go get her some new clothes.....she is MAD I won't let her wear the sopping toilet water clothes....and plop her in the bath. I get her all scrubbed down and the phone rings again....the person from the early morning phone call again.....more hoops to jump through. I break down and start crying, I say a quick prayer.....call Big B.....he says he will take care of it. I go get Sweet E out of the tub and Big B calls back and tells me I need to do something else and scan and e-mail it to him. So I start to do that when the kiddos come in and ask if they could eat a left over cupcake from Sweet E's b-day. I say, "no, I will come help you in a minute." Then I finish up what I was doing and go into the room where the kids were only to find an empty cupcake container! There had been 4 left! My first thought was....one of them is going to be sick! However, after talking to them I discover that they did not eat them all....but hid them to save for later! I have only found one so far....it was stuck up in the basketball hoop of one of the baby toys I have put off to the side to put in storage. So now I need to hunt for the last 3! Seriously, it is not even noon!! The possibilities are endless!! I think it is time to pack up and head to Mimi's house....I need some reinforcements!
