naked barbies, whiney kids, runny noses & coughs...

well, where do i even begin?... i woke up this AM to an opened box (from last night) of naked barbie dolls (which around here's a no-no!), WHINEY KIDS (those certainly are caps as they've VERY whiney), runny noses & coughs... mom came over this AM & we headed out for a funfilled day at the childrens museum... we all couldn't wait as this' spring break & since i've been working almost 24/7 on these adoption dossiers, we've not had any time at all to do anything 'fun' so today was 'our day'... we got to the CM & the kids were squirming to get out of their seats... pulled into the parking lot to see about 352 thousand people there, there was a line from here to haiti & all the parking lots were FULL!!... UGH!... what to do with 3 whiney kids after they've been told they were going to a 'fun place'?... we pulled out, much to the dismay of our kids & headed to the movies... we went to see 'is it done yet?' & we had a pretty good time... no one's had naps so bedtime will come at 7:30 tonight *smiling, just at the thought of it*... we're planning on staying home this evening, watching TV & doing absolutely NOTHING *smiling, just at the thought of it*... tomorrow (saturday) we're staying home, watching TV & doing absolutely NOTHING *smiling, just at the thought of it* (get my drift?)... we're just all so spent!... we feel as if we've had no 'family time' for a long time & believe me, we're all suffering from it... kids are scrapping at one another, spike & i are passing in the night & brit's got that - girl whatchu talkin' 'bout, head shake down to an art & has perfected it rather nicely these past few days so i can assure you, we really NEED it!... well, the natives are getting restless & so i need to get going... i'll get on here later & add more about my day as it's only 5PM & there's still more time for things to happen around here!
