One Up, One Down

One just got up from a nap and one needs to go down for a nap. Sadie just woke up from her long late morning nap and Steff is really whiny and needs to go down for a nap. There's only one problem...Steff doesn't cooperate for naps anymore.
Ryan has gone off to work. I don't know why he leaves so early but he likes to get there early and do his "time" before work starts. I mean, I guess I understand but it really is a bummer that he leaves around two and I don't get him up until 11. So, I only get to see him for a few short hours before he leaves. It's such a drag.
I got Ryan to wave bye to Steff and that made her a little happier but up until then she was ornery, ohh...so...ornery. Then she went and laid down on the couch cushions and told me she wanted me to cover her up. Maybe she'll crash out for a little while and get some happy zzz's?
I thought the pics of the girls jumping on the couch were cute. It was a good time watching them. I know I sound like they just drive me nuts but we have some good times too. Just like letting them jump on the naked couch...
Steff just told me she was going to take a nap. I hope so, then shortly my mother will be home. She hasn't been home since Saturday night so it will be nice to see her. I know why she can't move in with Danny but sometimes I wish she could. It would be nice to have the basement to ourselves. Granted, that would mean I'd have more house to clean and I'd have to do all the laundry by myself but the benefits seem to outway the cons at this point. I just got to get my mother to grow up enough to take care of herself and move out. She says she wants to move out but we'll see. I don't doubt that she wants to move out, what I doubt is her resolve to do whatever it takes to live on her own. I mean, she'd have to get a second job to afford to live. I doubt, highly, that she's going to take that step...

And, she's asleep...Steff finally crashed out on the couch cushions. Which, if I didn't mention earlier are on the floor again. I can't keep my house clean today. I have done so much to work on it and I feel like I'm running in circles and Steff and Sadie are running them faster. I think I will go clean up the kitchen, at least there I can clean and not have kids destroy it faster than I can clean it. The only thing I have to deal with is that Sadie will pull the dishes off the bottom rack of the dishwasher as fast I put them in. That's of course no big deal....
