still waiting

well... we are still waiting to hear back
from the owners of the house.

i'm sooo ready to get out of this hotel
and sleep in our own bed again.

i took the kids to the beach yesterday.
they had a blast!
the weather was perfect,
there were hardly anyone there,
we could see all the ships in the harbor,
i managed to keep all the kiddos awake
until we got home,
fed them a second lunch
and the off to sleep they went.

i was under the assumption
that evening was going to be nice.
i had a nice dinner planned
(which is a challenge since i have one skillet,
one little pot, a microwave, a burner, a spatula and a knife)
and daddy was coming home soon enough to actually
enjoy his company,
the kids got some energy out,
took a nap, all seemed like it would be great.

that was sooooo not what happened.
the kids were horribly grippe.
the tortillas i had,
had a chemical taste and i had to throw them away,
ab's choked on a popcorn kernel she snuck
and threw up on the bed sheets,
the boys refused to eat dinner,
and oh... did i mention that the kids were horrible!!!!

i was exhausted
and when i finally had all three kids asleep
i was able to crawl into our nice HARD bed
and drift off to sleep hoping today will be better.

as i'm typing,
blake is wrapping his ouchie toe
with a pantie liner.
interesting but... affective.
now, he is teaching ab's how to open little chip bags
by laying them on the ground and stomping on them.
hey... at least no one is screaming.
