Cleaning House

When knowing how to multiply is not so good.

You know those people that say, "Ignore the state of your house, play with your children. They're only young once." (You may even be one.) I thought maybe I would calculate the number of days that would encompass. That is 6,570 days times 6 kids for a grand total of 39,420 days! I'm not sure my sanity can stand the mess that long.

Today over at My life through pink, Kim is doing a special post on SIDS in dedication to Baby Paul.

Please support her and read her blog today to help spread awareness on SIDS.

Her post is very moving, heartbreaking and informative.

Murphy's Law For Parents

1. The tennis shoes you must replace today will go on sale next week. 2. Leakproof thermoses -- will. 3. The chances of a piece of bread falling with the grape jelly side down is directly proportional to the cost of the carpet. 4. The garbage truck will be two doors past your house when the argument over whose day it is to take out the trash ends. 5. The shirt your child must wear today will be the only one that needs to be washed or mended. 6. Gym clothes left at school in lockers mildew at a faster rate than other clothing. 7. The item your child lost, and must have for school within the next ten seconds, will be found in the last place you look. 8. Sick children recover miraculously when the pediatrician enters the treatment room. 9. Refrigerated items, used daily, will gravitate toward the back of the refrigerator. 10. Your chances of being seen by someone you know dramatically increase if you drive your child to school in your robe and curlers.
