Morning after pill for the day I’ve had today. It started SO cute - Joe woke before I did, and woke me up by caressing my cheek and making an “uh UH” noise–as if he were saying “Wake UP!”
Then I go into the livingroom to 
survey the damage after 
Hurricane Sleepover. It really wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be, but then I noticed the girls looked….odd. They were messing around with temporary tattoos last night, so I thought that might be it, and went in for a closer look. They had colored tattoos on themselves…with marker. The first one asleep got 
“Kick my butt” written on the back of one leg, “Kiss my butt” written on the back of the other leg, and 
green asterisk stars all over her back. I go to look, and all 3 girls are an 
exercise in 
everything marker. Take pictures of said body-grafitti, and then pack the girls off for a bath to try to get the marker off so no parents will call me and bitch. Guess what? That’s right! It didn’t come off in the water!
Got them cleaned up as best we could, ordered pizza for lunch, mediated a few “lack of sleep grumpiness” fights, get the livingroom cleaned up and vacuumed, and take one of the girls home.
During the cleaning of the livingroom, I decided that since Dan is using the potty chair pretty regularly, maybe he’s ready to move it into the bathroom. So I break down the potty chair, snap the insert into the toilet seat and turn the base over for a step for him and show him how to climb up and down. He did SOOO good with getting Alannah to go into the bathroom, but then he blew it. No, not that way, the other way. He went into the bathroom unstuporvised. It was a complete and total fuck-up on my part - I didn’t make sure he was in the other room with the girls. How did I find out he was in the bathroom unstuporvised? He came running out of the bathroom doing the “I’m in trouble” cry and trying to close the door. The toilet was backed up and overflowing, and there was water EVERYWHERE. Fortunately, I have a steam-vac, so I just sucked up the water after I hit the shutoff valve. I tried plunging and even sticking my hands down into the toilet, but to no avail. I ended up pulling the toilet so I could get it from the other side. I pulled out a good 2/3 roll of toilet paper that had been wadded up and flushed.
Calgon, take me away!
