For the past 2 days I have been in a lot of pain. As a result, I have been reduced to minimal bending and lifting activities. I am pretty sure my kids, specifically 2 cute but monster like 3 year olds, have figured this out and are taking full advantage of the situation. Every time I enter a room or a bathroom I find the most unbelievable messes. For example, shirts in the toilet. Seriously??? Who does that? Why do you do that? Apparently the bathroom is a fun place because 3 times in the last 2 days, after I have put a new roll of toilet paper on, it is all on the floor or in the shower....within minutes. The bath tub is another venue for mischief. Let's see how many clean towels I can get into the tub with me at one time while mom is checking on Taylor in the next room? But what's even more fun is climbing onto the cabinets and pulling down all the games and puzzles and dumping all the pieces to EVERY game on the floor.
Now those of you that read this may wonder, Where on earth I am during all of this? Maybe we should call CPS because obviously the mom in the house in nonexistent and neglects her children. Not the case, I promise. They accomplish these make-mom-crazy-things in 3.2 seconds. There are 2 of them for heaven's sake and everything occurs at warp speed.
After walking around my house a few minutes ago and practically having a nervous breakdown at every turn, I thought I should blog about this because I am sure one day...one day... I will laugh about it. Just not any time soon.

Tanya I feel for you! Being prego and chasing kids is no fun. Maybe all day pre-school would be in order! LOL If only right? I know the bathroom scene all too well! My poor toilet!
Aaah! Say it isn't so. Everyone keeps asking how I feel about the terrible twos coming up. I really can't imagine it getting much worse, frankly. But maybe as their brains get bigger there's more room to think up mischief. :)
Busy busy kids...wow. I got a good chuckle here, but am mostly sad that you are in pain. I hope this passes soon. Love you!
OK, the correct terminology would be “at” warp speed, not “in” warp speed. Not trying to be critical, just helpful… live long and prosper.
Love you guys,

My Mom has never let my twin brother and I forget what we did as toddlers, pretty much the same stuff you are describing here. She says one of of us would come up with the idea and get the other to do it. I can't imagine! The important thing is that she survived and my brother and I turned out just fine :) You'll get through this!

My kids do the same thing! Mostly Kourtney... her weapon of choice is toothpaste....on EVERYTHING! They also like to unravel the toilet paper... it's maddening!!!!
If it's any consolation, my neighbor used to tell me that when my kids did all of those wacky, mischievious, irritating, crazy things, it was a "sign of high intelligence." haha Wait til they hit 12 years old. That's when the real fun hits!
