It's been one of those days. Kids are out of school. Jackson and Eli were fighting. Hayley was being impossible. I went for a run and came back in and they were all still at it.
When I say all over the place... there was egg even in the next room... a huge mess.
I announced I was going to get in the shower and dared any ONE of them to bother me while I was in there.
I actually lock the door to my room ... which I usually don't do .. just in case, you know, there is an emergency.
Just needed 10 minutes. That's it. 10.
Five minutes in ..
BANG BANG BANG!!!!
"I can't flippin' hear you .. and I told you to LEAVE ME ALONE!!!" I shout from my shower.
A few seconds later..
BANG BANG BANG!!!! muffled yells.
Face in the water - I am just going to ignore it.
FIRE ALARM GOES OFF.
Okay, well .. I guess now would be a good time to GET OUT.
I run out of the room dripping to Eli screaming "THEY JUST EXPLODED!!"
There are about 5 other kids in the house shouting and screaming and I couldn't figure out what was wrong until I heard the word "egg".
"OH CRAP" I said (not really). I put eggs on to boil before I got in the shower. If all the water boils out of the pan and the eggs are still in there ... they explode. Like bits and pieces ALL OVER THE PLACE. Who knew?
When I say all over the place... there was egg even in the next room... a huge mess.
I stood there dripping wet with a hand towel trying to cover what little dignity I had left. Trying not to scare the children as now they are watching me with their mouths hanging open.
Guess the shower is over.
I wonder what the neighbors discuss around the dinner table about our family?

Really - you should capture these adventures in a book...only Oprah would accuse you of stretching it because seriously -- day after day of this isn't supposed to happen...to anyone! :) Especially not just one person! Hugs friend.
You need to find yourself a publisher and turm all of this into a movie! Or better yet call TLC and get paid for all of this!! :o) I wish we were near by to help!
I learn so much from your blog. Very educational :)
When you make note of how there is an egg in the other room, it reminded me of how you separated 4 eggs at "room temperature". Hehehe. Good one Alana. :D
