Why Mothers Don't Nap...

Because their kids don't...

Actually, child #4 does nap. But this is the work of Child #3, capable of doing more disaster in five minutes than all the other children combined throughout a full day. What you don't see in the photo is that she also painted the walls, the windows (apparently taking the time to lift the shades, paint the glass, then politely put the shades back down), and dripped all over the carpet. I'm not entirely sure how she did that without painting the shades themselves. I was able to remove the paint from the shelf, the windows, and the carpet, but the upholstery has me stumped. Any suggestions?


So to recap, fifteen minute nap = four hours cleaning up (and still not done yet).

I am beyond words! The furniture....you could re-upholster it. There was a good I Love Lucy episode about that. In fact, it started with repainting Ethel's walls. Maybe thats where she got the idea.

I stumbled upon your blog & have enjoyed reading. I thought I would share some info since you seem like a mom that enjoys great daily deals. Check out Moolala.com.
They are a lot like Groupon/Living Social, but with an awesome twist: they pay you the profits! They have a simple and straightforward pay model that give you 2% cash back for anyone you refer (5 levels deep) for life.
Moolala has been a great experience for me!

Dare we ask how she got the lid off the paint? Very neat brush work!
