Okay so I, like millions of you are reading or have finished Breaking Dawn. But as I was reading the other day when I really should have been keeping a better eye on my toddler, I was thinking to myself I wonder if everyone else's world just kind of stopped once they picked up these books. You know like laundry piling, flies swarming around the piles of dishes in the kitchen or like what happened 30 seconds later to me, your kid comes out of the bathroom saying "all wet" to which you notice that he's somehow (bathtub, sink....toilet?) completely soaked his blanket and filled up his shoes with water and drug them half-way across the house. So any good stories about the kids, the house, or the whiney complaints from your husband while reading this book? Just curious!

All the hard work looks really good! Hooray for cameras
I know exactly what you mean. With these books, life more or less just stops until you are done. I decided to read them all again before I started the final book, so sorry to my kids that still have at least another week before I'll be back to being a good, attentive mom!
I have 100 pages left of the book because things keep getting in the way of finishing it. It's driving me crazy too!
So, normally I would just send you to the site, but since it's private, I'll share with you the post my sister did today about her hellian (literally) 2 1/2 year old:
Friday: Mayci paints the entire bathroom with fingernail polish. Every surface, including toilet, wood cabinets, flooring and door.
Sunday: Mayci finds mommy's new makeup (new because she destroyed the last bottle of foundation and pressed powder about a week ago) and smashes it to bits. She then carefully puts it back into the makeup bag for mom to find later.
Monday: Mayci finds a bottle of hairspray, a bottle of detangler, and mixes it, chemist-style, in a sippy cup "beaker" full of toilet paper.
Today: We find an empty syrup bottle in Mayci's bedroom. Empty because she has dumped the ENTIRE contents on her floor, saturating it clear to the pad. Toys, clothes, books, stuffed animals are all syrup covered.
Other recent hobbies: Drinking straight from the milk jug, climbing into mom's school-supply cabinet and helping herself to the contents, and opening Otter Pops, eating one bite, and leaving the contents to melt on and ruin the finish of our kitchen table.
That's got to be the best post ever! I read it to my husband and he laughed... only because we can relate.
I can't say much for whiney husbands because I've yet to pick up the books, and the children stories are too plentiful to post them all, but let's just say that if it's quiet, I know there is a problem...
dude, i went private so you'll need to send me your email: angelinadewey@yahoo.com
