Hang in here, with me, there will be a point at the end of all of this:

it's 6:40 am, Carter means business, Camden and I have to go get him
change Cam's diaper
change Carter's diaper
tend to some emails and other computer business
take away the toothpaste from Carter
come back to the computer
wipe up some spit-up
look back at the screen, finish my work
tell Carter it is time for a bath
chase Carter around the house
put Carter in the tub
get in the shower
sing and make funny noises to keep the boys happy
get out of the shower
get Carter out of the tub
get Carter dressed
get me dressed
(meanwhile, poor Squishy is being moved around from spot to spot and randomly placed about as though I am trying to find my favorite location to place my newest decorative object)
get Squishy dressed
calmly convince Carter (even though I am totally freaking out on the inside) to un-barricade himself from the bathroom and come on out
take the cough-drops, band aids, and various hygiene objects away from Carter
wait for Carter to stop crying
go downstairs
let Oreo out
feed the fish
get Carter's "appa" juice and feed him breakfast
let Oreo in
feed Oreo
sit-down to feed Camden
read Carter a book while feeding Camden
put Camden in swing for nap
finish reading book
go outside and clean Oreo's ears
wash hands
go play with Carter
put a waking Camden back to sleep
calm Carter down from his latest boo-boo (he has a lot of these when I need to tend to the baby)
cuddle with Carter
UH! change Carter's diaper
demand Carter stop riding his loud wooden bike around the house, Cam's sleeping!
take Carter's bike away, for now
calm a crying Carter
Carter's cries wake up Camden, pick him up...uh! another diaper to change
change Camden...big mess...clean him up
go upstairs with our new found pile of laundry
start a load of laundry
get Camden re-dressed for the day
go back downstairs
take Oreo's food out of his water dish
unload the dishwasher and straighten up the kitchen
everyone's happy...maybe I can eat now
NOPE! Camden has spit up and needs another changing
go upstairs clean up Camden
change my shirt
go back down stairs
Carter's "appa" juice is all over the floor
clean up "appa" juice off the floor and off the inside of Carter's tractor
take away Daddy's toothbrush from Carter (sorry Honey, but he plays with it... a lot! he he)
put Thomas track back together for a whining Carter
catch my breath
look at the clock
it is ONLY 7:30am!!! Holy Guacamole it is going to be a long day.
Later.........................
Dan comes home around noon for lunch
we sit down to eat
we start talking:

Me to Dan: "Hey. Honey. I have a question for you. What do you picture me doing back here at home while you are at work having intelligent adult conversation?"

Dan to Me: "I picture you sitting on the couch."

***SIGH***
