A Day In The Life of The Berg's

A summary of my evening:


7:45 pm enter driveway - oops - wait........ stop short of driveway, realize that the drift is a high as my door, backup, give er' all you got......made it.

7:50 pm park in garage - shovel snow away from doorway so the door shuts completely

8:00 pm finally got the kids to put their jackets back on - make the trek to the house

8:10 pm get all outdoor clothing off of kids

8:15 pm go to bedroom to change my pants which are soaking wet from walking through the deep snow

8:17 pm walk into kitchen to find the 2 "To Go" boxes of Mexican spread out all over the table, chairs and kitchen floor. Dog's eatin' good now. Rice...Beans...Enchilada's and Chicken Strips.

8:20 pm Whew! Got that mess cleaned up, even off the brand new clothes I just bought as Christmas gifts for Cam

8:21 pm Walk to freezer to pull out pork chops for Cam's supper

8:22 pm walk into kitchen to find the huge glass of chocolate milk spilled all over the counter, stove, down the cupboards and on the floor.....ooh it is seeping under the stove

8:25 pm got the milk cleaned up, take the towels to the wash machine

8:26 pm walk back into the kitchen to find the tub of oatmeal (about 20 cups worth) pulled from the cupboard and all over the newly cleaned kitchen floor

8:30 pm got the oatmeal cleaned up, got the pork chops started on the stove

8:32 pm - DJ is crying - he crapped his pants!

8:35 pm - okay kids, come get in the bath - Peyton says she will take a bath later

8:36 pm - start the bath water, DJ is taking his clothes off

8:37 pm - shut the TV off so Peyton will come take a bath

8:38 pm - notice that DJ has thrown about 20 wash clothes in the tub of water

8:39 pm - put DJ in the bath and then start the process with Peyton

8:50 pm - take kids out of the bath - Peyton won't stopping running naked in circles until I push the red button - okay I pushed the button - No, Mom, that was the green one, push the red one - okay Peyton - I pushed the button - No, Mom that was the yellow one - Sidenote - Dear God help me to read my child's imagination, I can't find the red button. She stops and says "I'm chilly". Well - put some clothes on!

9:00 pm - finish up the pork chops and potatoes, open up some green beans.

9:05 pm - kids are fighting over the bowl of green beans

9:10 pm - Call Cam to see if he is done plowing snow yet - yep - whew he will be home in 10 minutes

I will spare you the next hour and a half.

5:00 am - wake up to go to the bathroom - step in puddle of water, rugs are soaked - Here goes another day in the life of the Berg's.

FYI: These pictures aren't from last night, these are about a week old. They were swimming in the oatmeal that day.
Also - I gave Cam the Mexican scented clothes last night rather than wrapping them for Christmas - gotta find something else for Cam for Christmas.
And people wonder why my house is messy or why I can't get anything done!
