Before you all think that I've been neglecting my children to drink Vodka, I would like to clarify. Still someone will not read this very well and I will still have to answer questions.
I was trying to boil some baby things but I turned on the wrong burner. I had a milk jug sitting on a cookie sheet. It was empty. I use empty milk jugs in the garden, mini greenhouse style. This milk jug will NOT be used because it is no more. When I realized where the horrid smell was coming from I put my son gently in to his laundry basket bed on the floor, ran to the kitchen pulled out a pot holder and ran water over the burning cookie sheet. While I am doing this my three year old who just moments ago was digging threw a basket of magazines, attempts to pick up her brother and drops him back into the basket at a very strange angle on his neck. The house is filled with smoke, with one arm I am holding a screaming new born with the other I am spanking my 3 year old daughter because I told her that I would (I said that I would beat the living tar outta her, I didn't beat her)if she EVER picked him up. The only thing in this house that has alcohol in it is my herbal lactation supplement. So no there is no vodka in this house. I don't have an alcohol problem, I have a sleep problem. And a three year old with a discipline problem because she had a very lazy pregnant mom, who is now feeling better and moves fast enough to hopefully make said 3 year old rethink her own rebellious ways. I will probably not be blogging much for awhile because this may take some work to reverse the personality damage I allowed.

Try to remember that, all in all, the only thing you lost might be the cookie sheet and the milk jug. You got some exercise (beating the tar out of said 3 yr old), said 3 yr old found out that you are very serious about picking up the new born, and the new born got to really exercise his still developing lungs. I do think you did the recovery in the correct order...house fires are overall a bad idea. So, Mommy, all is well that ends well. Good Job!!!
I have a suggestion. When I had all the kids at home and they were all pretty young, I was boss until Calvin walked in the door. After that, I told everyone who came to me that I was off duty. To modify that a bit for your use, maybe if you could get Sam situated for an hour, Pat could be in charge of Bronte for an hour and maybe you could catch a nap. Maybe that could be his lunch hour... so you could catch up on things when he comes home after work. I had a friend who would take 2 asperin an hour before her husband was expected home. That way she could be mom and still be nice.
Sweetheart, nobody thinks you have an alcohol problem! And it sounds like you might -need- a little vodka in that house, actually a nice glass of wine is probably best. I'll send some right over. -hugs and more hugs-
