One of those days

What a day! It was one of those days where one thing after another after another goes wrong. We didn't get as much school done as I'd like to. There were bugs everywhere today. Jacob was constantly constantly into things he shouldn't be. Some days it is literally one thing after another. The boys decided to move the little couch, so they pushed the rug back and moved the couch both forwards and backwards, knocking all kinds of stuff off other furniture (my clutter piles!) in the process and making the entire living room floor a mess. They muddied the entire kitchen floor just from the dirt on their shoes after going outside. It was mopped 4 times so far today. The kids were constantly fighting all day. My voice was actually hurting from yelling so much (which is not the best response, but I was really frustrated today). Jacob woke up early from his nap. Leanna dropped her diary lock behind the desk with the lizards on top, and Justin tried to move things to look for the lock, unsuccessfully. Which created more mess. The printer's out of black ink already. Jacob was spilling cups of water and cereal bowls. He knocked a completely full cup of coffee directly into my lap. And I was wearing white pants. Later he took a tumble down the steps. All the way! It scared me and him, but he was fine. We have two vacuums sitting in the hallway, near the top of the stairs and he had climbed on the top of one and somehow twisted and fell. Leanna was closest and managed to catch the vacuum, but not Jacob. At least that way the vacuum didn't fall on top of him! Nobody wanted to eat the food in our house (me & Tom included), and Tom spent almost two hours sitting in the van about five minutes away from our house because it stalled and wouldn't start again. He called Triple A but right before they got there it suddenly started again. After he parked it he went back a few minutes later and it wouldn't start again. (His work van has problems too). And Justin got sick late tonight. He threw up a couple times. He seems alright now that he got everything out of his system. But it left a lovely mess all over the sink (I know, at least it was in the sink!) Just very very frustrating!
