today was a pretty boring, ordinary day. we woke up, had breakfast, played in the morning. then it was off to the coin laundry to dry two loads, have lunch, nap time (oh, glorious nap time) and then entertain the kids (it was raining again by late afternoon. *le sigh*) make dinner, take a shower and shove everyone off to bed. you can see that no one fell out of windows or broke bones.

i did have to remind myself today that after the day is done, it is gone forever. only the memory remains. so, do i want it to be a bad memory, or a good one? it is up to me how i react to 'naughty' behavior. and since naughty is defined by me, i need to ease up a bit (especially in an abnormally long rainy season. what the FUCK is up with the weather? el nino?) so hopefully we'll get off to a shopping center tomorrow, perhaps even in spite of shouting/fighting/hitting/biting...
