Here's Shit On Your Shower Curtain


When my kids do something nice for me, I repay them with a big "Thank you!" So why is it, that when I do something nice for them, they metaphorically give me the bird and make me regret ever giving birth? I decided to let them have a craft day, as a reward for giving me such a great Mother's Day. I told my friend about my craft idea, during our phone conversation. She asked me what kind of crack I was smoking. She told me that I've clearly lost my mind and that I'd end up wanting to drink myself into a coma if I went through with it."How bad can foam letters and fabric paint really be?" I hate it when she's right!


It started out well...


Ella did a great job, for awhile

Then the foam thingies got knocked over...
So craft time migrated to underneath the table...
Marlie needed some help...


Aiden can spell his name!
Ella got bored and got into trouble...
As I helped Ella down and put away the polish remover,
Reed got into the silver glitter paint...
Nice!
After I scrubbed his head, he disappeared. I found
him in the laundry heap...

I returned to the kitchen to find some children missing.
They were in the bathroom, wiping their butts on the
shower curtain:


I'm feeling a little unappreciated and dreading summer break. Twelve days until summer. I think I will send them to Grandma Vette's house to do crafts...or stay for a few months.

Hahahaha!!! The explination that I got for the poop on the shower curtain was "Mom there wasn't any toilet paper in here! What elese was I supposed to do?" I'm sorry for you but so relieved that my heathon son isn't the only one that wipes his butt with the shower curtain!!!!!

OMG, hilarious. I don't know you at all & we've never met, but I think your blog is a hoot. I thought I had it hard with only 2 kids! How do you do it?!? You're a saint...a crazy saint, but a saint nonetheless.

Why are all your sons bald? Forgive me, but they look like they belong to the Aryan nation.

Ha! We shaved Reed's head because he had nail polish in his hair. The other boys like their heads shaved because the do not like to do their hair. So we give them the choice of getting styled, or having it shaved. Some of them have hair.
I'm not really worried about what they look like. As long as they are clean (which is rare) and well behaved when we go out in public, then I'm a happy mama!
