Worst Part of the Day - Left the kiddos downstairs alone while I changed out laundry. By the time I got back to them, an entire jumbo bottle of Johnson's Baby Powder had been poured over the floor, couches, and pile of DVD's (that had been thrown off the shelves). They tried to add some lotion to the mix, but there wasn't much left to smear all over everything. I was scolding them (and yelling) when suddenly Wes did an Oscar winning mimic of me while scolding Quinn. That's hard to take as I look like a real crazed lunatic when I scold the children (according to this impression, I also sigh a lot.) When I told Erik about this he said "oh on Sunday they took every blanket, shirt, pant and basket out of Quinn's closet and tossed it on the floor."
Later met my sister-in-law Ann out for dinner and it was just tiring. My kiddos were just not wanting to sit and instead of stressing out about it, I sat and watched them in a horrified state.
Come ON People now - We went to Discovery Zone today and they have a brand new cafeteria. It is about 98% green with compostable plates, silverware, containers ... as I munched on my organic mozzarella and tomato sandwich I watched people throw away their waste. Now there are two huge bins - one with COMPOSTABLE on it and a brief description of what can go in it. The other has RECYCLABLE on it and another brief description. Then there is a very small trashcan next to the bins for anything that has to be thrown away (nice visual - meaning 'not much needs to actually go in the trash'). I watched person after person throw away compostable and recyclable items in the small trashcan until it was overflowing (this did not take long). Let's just TRY peeps - how much easier can it get when all the work is done for you and you just have to READ a sign??!!??
