No Picture For This Story

Typically I post a picture with a story to go along, not this time. Tonight something happened, what your asking. Well 75% of the time the household is in control, yes are background noise is a little louder than most other houses, but what do you expect, there are six people living here. However the other 25% of the time is complete BANANA'S! Tonight was part of that 25%, I really hate these times, it makes me wonder what and the world was I thinking when I decided to have another. So let me paint the picture for you. We had back to school night tonight, which I lost my son for about 30 seconds, totally scary. After that I drove out to Gridley to get the girls from cheer practice. I was about thirty minutes early so the boys and I got out of the van to watch. He found these two little boys playing in the fenced area behind some bushes and invited himself to play. So I keep watching him, then Kirsten, and then it is time to go, and for about another 30 seconds I can't see him. I'm not totally freaked because I am by the exit already so I know he didn't make it out, and this area is totally fenced in so he couldn't escape. Then as I am running around like a crazy mom I see him behind a bush. Ashton wasn't tall enough to spot at a glance. "OMG, what is my deal", I am not feeling like a good mom right now, twice in one day("I'm tempted to use the leach I bought for emergency's"). This is why I am terrified to go anywhere by myself. So we get home, and it starts. The baby is apparently starving, so I start to feed him. Daniel was in the middle of a movie when we got there so he actually told me to go in the other room, really, fine. Then the baby isn't interested in eating just screaming (a bubble) so we work that out, but still not happy. Kirsten helps out and holds him so I can whip up the sloppy joes really quick. "OK we are fine", then Daniel realizes that he forgot to get his medicine from Target and he is all out, he had to leave, down two hands. This is when it gets good. Baby is still screaming and Kirsten decides she can't handle it anymore (OK it it's not her baby) so I tell her to put him down. Still crying, I decide we need to do emergency dinner instead, it is not ready yet, corn dogs for the three kids. Baby still screaming, then Kelsey take Ashton's plate from him, so then he is now screaming along with baby. So about 3 minutes later Kelsey realizes that she can't handle the noise and she starts crying" the noise needs to stop". And then Kirsten simply states "it is like a circus in here", and my only response is to laugh and agree with her. So as I continue to laugh so that I can remain sane for the moment, it really only lasted for about 5 minutes. We can go from 0 too though the roof in no time, I am glad that these episodes don't last long. However it take hours to recover from them. But the best part was, that by the time Daniel got home all of the kids were in bed, not fare.
