mother nature is just being rude!!

Dear Journal,
My kids got up early today I tried giving Finley a sippy cup to help him go back to sleep but instead he somehow got the valve loose and spilled milk all over himself and his crib which then needed to be washed.
We went upstairs for breakfast and they threw their cereal all over the floor. While I was cleaning up their cereal Fin pulled a vase down on top of his head.
Fin went down for a nap and I spent 40 minutes explaining to Gracie that it was time for a 15 minute quiet time in her room which included explaining that she didn't need to watch another movie read 5 more stories, have a chocolate treat and that we didn't have any chocolate milk! finally giving up it took 5 minutes to find a screwdriver and switch her doornob so that I could lock her in her room from the outside, five minutes of crying and she decided to go ahead and take a little nap.
Fin woke up and while I was making him lunch he found that some of the windowsills have mud in them and decided to eat a bug and paint the wall with mud.
Gracie woke up and I fed the kids lunch which again was thrown on the ground (suggestions?) while I was cleaning up the floor the kids tore up one of my mom's fake plants while I was cleaning up the fake plant mess they emptied the paper shredder.
We had another talk with Gracie about if you are going to photo copy your face please close your eyes!
Please Please Please let good weather come soon my kids are ready to play outside!!!

Not fun. Don't you love how kids just know how to push your buttons sometimes? S used to do that with her food but it didn't last long because I would make her help me clean it up and put it in the garbage - we don't eat food off the floor. Then she wouldn't get anymore food...I think it only lasted a day or two. She learned fast.
