While preparing dinner...
"What have you done around here today?"

(Now my day suddenly went down hill)
- got up made breakfast
- changed diapers, got boy dressed, fed everyone breakfast
- unloaded dishwasher and washed crock pot that was soaking
- did a load of laundry, folded load in dryer
- made beds
- played with kids

- got Helena ready for school, did handwriting homework, put milk money in bag, approved homework
- made lunch for kids, fed kids, brushed boys teeth, changed diapers
- got dressed, combed hair

- brushed teeth with Helena and waited for the bus
- got Helena on bus, did 2 more loads of laundry, folded

- when Helena got off of the bus took everyone to Atlantic Tractor, looked at potential birthday presents for triplets (battery powered tractor and backhoe)
- came home and played outside for 1.5 hrs
- came in, got dinner ready, sat down to eat and then

During dinner -
"It is going to rain, so make sure you go outside and put all of the kids toys away."
My Response: "Why do you have to be so rude, why can't we just do it together?"
"I am not the one that got them all out."

After cleaning up kitchen from dinner, putting away indoor and outdoor toys and getting in a pi**ing match over what I did today- I went to get diapers...
"Can you pick me up a snack for later?"
Really???
