How dare I shower?

Last night my husband didn't come home.  He drives truck and lately his hours have been INSANE.  Since he was gone alllllllll (yes when I am alone all day with 6 kids, it does require that many l's) day yesterday, and he just told me he will not be home until tomorrow afternoon, I had to go out and check on the pigs and make sure that the cows got watered.  I got both babies down for their morning naps and headed outside with my two older boys.  It didn't take us long and since they didn't actually go in the barns,  I let them watch a show while I showered.  What the heck was I thinking?  I finished up only to discover both boys upstairs.  They had taken the entire case of paper towels that I had just purchased and unrolled EVERY SINGLE SHEET.

Their little book reading nest.

Not only that but they also took all of their blankets and sheets off of their beds and created a sort of reading area with books under their bunk beds.  They are little.  Their room is almost always a mess.  But come on.  I really thought I was getting ahead today.  My kitchen is clean-something that very rarely happens. I did pig chores!  Which ok, isn't that hard since we only have one barn of pigs at the moment but I still did them. Kids were all preoccupied while I showered and I was feeling pretty darn good. 

The boys are now entrenched in their clean up efforts.  I have instructed them to start rolling the towels back up. 

Sitting amidst his nest and working hard.

 



Wearing sunglasses because it's cool to be bad? Or something like that.....
 

I am fully aware that I am not in fact getting anywhere.  Ever.  But man, it sure would be nice if just once I could pretend.  Never saw this coming for sure.
