A picture is worth a thousand words.... this explains my evening of chaos... Johnnie-Lynn, Lawrence and the girls, and mama came over for dinner... We were hoping to have a great night of family and fun... Well the craziness began when one of my chairs came crashing to the floor with Johnnie-Lynn and Taylor sitting in it... No, she is not that heavy...the chairs are all very loose and she twisted in it and like a slow-motion clip from a movie she and Taylor went crashing to the floor... I almost wet myself.... Johnnie-Lynn was scared I was gonna be mad, but it was clearly an accident... Little did we know then that this was just the beginning of all the fun to come!!!!
The chaos continued just moments later when Sophie spilled her whole drink on my video rocker chair. It is blue velvety fabric and it was soaked...not to mention her... So we took the chair outside and washed it down... hopefully it will be dry by next week... We loaded up the washer with her clothes so they would stain...
Just about 30 minutes after that we were thinking the calm was about to settle in... I was putting some hot water in a pit to make some tea... I turned from the sink around to the stove and Sophie was in my way... In a quick second to avoid her and spilling the hot water on her, I turned to fast...lost my balance and spilled the whole pot of water in the floor... We all died laughing and continued doing what we had done all night...cleaning up our messes.
The fun continued as we sat down for dinner.... Taylor and Sophie were sitting at the bar...when were heard the ice hit the floor.... Yep you guessed it, Taylor knocked her drink off.... While we were cleaning that up, Sophie in her sweet voice said "uh-oh" yep you guessed again...she had turned hers over...
At this point, I am beyond getting even remotely upset, but if I were a smoker I would have smoked a carton!!!!!!!!!! After all day at school then all this...it was crazy.... Taylor was soaked in her clothes, so she got a BB shirt to wear and off her clothes went to the wash...
Things settled for a short while... And then the bottom fell out one more time... I was in the living room with Johnnie-Lynn and Lawrence was trying to Sophie to sleep... All of a sudden Taylor comes running in there saying , "mommy mommy..Daddy needs you fast!!!" When she got to my room there it was ..... Sophie had thrown up all over Lawrence, my bed, my floor... It was everywhere... Lawrence was wearing my clothes because he came here straight from work and wanted comfy clothes.... The clothes were COVERED with the cutest hot pink baby vomit I have ever seen.... So for the third time tonight I am sitting here on my sheetless (they are in the washer too) bed listening to the water fill up the washer...
As I said in the beginning... we were hoping for a night of family and fun.... we got it alright... we laughed so much, and some how ( I say it is by the grace of God) I kept calm through it all. Thank goodness the dinner turned out great and the Alumni Casserole was GREAT!!!!!!!!!!
