CPS Worthy

If you've been keeping up with my status changes, I am still dying of a sinus infection. I don't know how long it will take until I go into that dark night, but in my final days I am giving up on cleaning up and the inclusion of actual nutrition into the meals of my children.

Ava has been making "projects" for days, which include lots of cut up pictures of Disney Princesses, markers, crayons, and glue, making little glued-together piles of Princess parts.

While the mommy in me loves her art, the other part of me now has trouble distinguishing piles of "projects" and piles of scraps that I'm allowed to throw away. As I've gotten a severe dressing-down from Ava already for tossing the artwork that would gain her recognition worldwide, I have decided to give up on that fight for now. As for Tess, she demands that I draw hundreds of eyes and noses all over every piece of paper she finds. It started with just eyes, and no, I don't know why. All I do know is that these papers all over the house both confuse me and creep me out a little bit. Especially the ones that I drew eyelashes on.

Tess has decided she wants to potty, which means that she has also declared this the Month of Naked. She has also taken to rooting in the diaper bag for lollipops. so not only is she naked, she is sticky. She is, however, peeing in the potty.

Lunch consists of egg noodles, dinner is pizza, and lollipops and Doritos have been the snacks. Marshmallows are for when the screaming won't stop. We have no fruit right now, or I really would be giving it to them. I really would.

Thankfully for Tim, they're at least bathing every other day ~ usually it's every day, but it is one of those things that I don't have the energy for at all. He is also taking them outside when he's home, so don't concern yourselves with the possibility of them having a Vitamin D deficiency.

We have also watched copious amounts of Caillou on demand, but I did just switch it up a little while ago by turning on Nancy Drew. So at least they're learning valuable skills right now like picking a lock, sneaking in the places they're not supposed to be, and disobeying their father when he says not to do something.
