Why is it that the day that I clean my kitchen floor is the day that everyone decides to make a mess on it? Within one hour of finishing my floor yesterday, three or four sticky, messy catastrophes had already managed to happen on my freshly mopped floor. Sometimes I wonder why I even try. Aaaah!
*while I was mopping, Cade tried to walk across the wet floor to me, but ended up sprawled out like Bambi on the frozen pond. Madlyn & Cole thought that looked pretty fun; and after repeated warnings from me that it would NOT be fun and would actually hurt, they decided to try it anyway. By the time I finished, all three kids were sitting on my kitchen floor crying because they had gotten hurt from slipping on the wet tile. Does it make me a mean mom if I found that kind of humorous?

At least you can have the piece of mind knowing that the floor was mopped at one point. :) For me, it's all about checking that task off my to-do-list and feeling like I accomplished something.
It is definitely a funny scenario, but only because no one was seriously hurt.
Okay, it says you posted this at 3AM!? Are you serious!?
I had a rough night last night & found myself up between 2:30 and 3:30...very atypical for me, I usually sleep like a log.
It only took Canon one time falling on the wet floor to learn his lesson. Now he very patiently sits on the carpet until I finish mopping.
What? We are supposed to MOP the floor?
I'm with Alys. Or, we should all get dogs.
Remember when we lived in the little house and I had mopped the floor. That night we had macaroni and tomato sauce and I believe everyone in the family spilled theirs. I guess there is a bit of "told you so" humor when you tell your children that something is good for them and they have to experience themselves before they understand. Of course I would never chuckle at my children's misfortunes, not me. Maybe if I had written a blog when I was younger I could have laughed at it all easier!!! love you all!
correction--isn't good for them.
