Saturday

I honestly did not want to get out of bed this morning.  I tried to sleep in which really is  big joke in a house with four kids and a husband who is out of town.  

Here is just a sampling of what was heard while I was trying to sneak in a few extra minutes:

Chairs dragging.  

"Where's Mom?"  

Front door opening. Front door slamming. 

"Mom can we have Rice Krispie treats for breakfast?" 

"Don't!  You'll drown the hamster! "

"AHHHH! The hamster peed! "  

Hysterical giggling.  More giggling.  Silence.  Too much silence...then "MMMOMMMM!!!!!

I am sure you will agree that these are just the things you want to hear when you are trying to fall asleep.

So, I did what any sane mom would do- I buried my head with blanket and figured the nanny could handle everything when she arrived.

But, then I remembered, I AM THE NANNY. 

So after coffee was made, pop tarts popped, and the mess evaluated I decided to break out my new Mrs. Meyer's Counter Top Spray in Basil and dust off my Judds Greatest Hits CD.  Yes, I do love the Judds.   Saturday morning chores were actually fun.  Sort of.  OK, not really.  But I still love the Judds.

Ok, my loyal readers-How do you two make cleaning fun?
