Hump Day Blues

I'm having one of those days where it took me forever just to get out of bed. I must have hit snooze about 20 times. I lift the covers to get up a realize the house is freezing and it's dark a gloomy outside....perfect day to stay in bed and sleep. I finally get up and start walking to the bathroom and step on one of Jake's lego pieces and jabs me right in the bottom of my right foot. So after sitting there for 5 minutes , cussing, rubbing my foot I continue my 10 ft long journey to our bathroom only to find the whole roll of toliet paper on the bathroom floor and a kitten in the middle of all it. So after yelling at the kitten and picking up the mess I closed the door to do my business, brush my teeth..yadda, yadda, yadda and all of a sudden there is a knock on the bathroom door. "What are ya doing in there daddy?" It was Cori. Everytime I walk into a bathroom in this house 2 seconds later there's a knock at the door.....guaranteed. They need to know in full detail, 2 pages single spaced, what I'm doing in there. This knocking continued for another 10 min. until I came out. I walked over to the window and looked out upon cloudy and rainy skies. Depressing. All of a sudden I hear screaming coming from the living room....Cori is screaming at Jake. She wants to watch "Backyardigans" and he wants to watch "Power Puff Girls." Power Puff Girls......Power Puff Girls. My son wants to watch Power Puff Girls. What have I done wrong. I had to escape. I run to hide in the computer room in the basement but they find me...they always find me. They are my shadows...everywhere I go they go...but loud shadows that leave a trail of toys and chip crumbs wherever they go......There gone now..upstairs watching tv...I think....It's quiet...too quiet...what are they doing....oh crap, have to go check....later.
