The Night from .... Someplace very unpleasant!!!
Sorry for the non-existant blogging lately. The blog will NOT upload any pictures again for some reason, trying to work it out. Dont know if it's my new camera or if it's the site. Very annoying, whichever it is!
As for our life, let's just say yesterday was one of "those days!" Everytime I thought nothing else could happen, it just had to prove me wrong!
I had alot of stuff to do and Jacob was being a bugger, so I made him go in and sit on my bed to watch a movie. I checked down the hall from time to time and saw him wiggling around but he was just sitting there so I kept working. He came running out with a paper full of holes- all proud of himself for mangling the thing. I went flying down the hall and what he had been doing so quietly on the bed was tearing into shreds all of my photography paperwork. These were papers that I had hand written while doing hours upon hours of research over about a month's time: pose ideas, tips from other photographers, notes I have taken while watching the Tutorial photography lessons, lists of props I need, literally everything imaginable! I was devastated. While reeling from that I happened to look down at my brand new $44 bedspread that I LOVE, and saw where he hand mangled the bits of torn paper poking them full of holes with my favorite pen, he had done it on the comforter and it has ink scribbles all over it! I disciplined him and made him go to bed, then ran out to the computer to try and type as much as I could before I forgot what was on the papers, and kept hearing a funny noise like someone moving around in the house. I thought Jacob was up, so I stood up to tell him to go back to bed. No-one was there. It happened several times and I began to get concerned. Suddenly heard what sounded like a gunshot, and jumped out of my chair with my heart in my throat just in time to see garbage landing all over the floor and red stuff flying everywhere! About 2am Fri. morning I had opened a triple sized can of Prego spaghetti sauce to make a pizza. I forgot it on the table. We left as soon as we got up Friday morning and did not return home until really late Friday night, and went straight to bed. Saturday morning we got up to leave and I noticed the jar on the table and it looked a little funny so I threw it in the bottom of the trash. Yesterday, the trash was almost full so I had it setting in the kitchen to throw a few more things in so I could send it out with the trash pickup today. The sauce must have been fermenting and the jar exploded, blowing up the garbage bag, throwing garbage and sauce everywhere. I never thought of 45 oz of sauce being that much- I learned differently! Let me back-track a little and say, Saturday night into Sunday, Mark suddenly decided that he wanted to sleep in our new bed that night, so he brought everything out of our bedroom- yard sale bags, boxes and piles, piles of kids too big/too small clothes I had been sorting through, all odds n ends stuff from the room and dumped it here and there down the hall, behind the table in the kitchen and in the living room. Since we were gone all weekend, sorting through this stuff was the project I had been working on when this all started! The sauce covered my freshly washed dishes, blew down the hall all over the dirty clothes pile, covered bags of stuff for Salvation army and yard sale stuff, coated the entire underside and part of top of the table, rungs and seats of chairs, the walls, my entire box of photography props, canned goods and food on the shelf, jacob's shoes, some of Mark's hanging up clothes i had out here on hangers, a pile of books I had set by the couch to go back to the library next trip to town, all over the couch itself, the wii controllers, tv, playstation- thankfully the old one- not the new one! Literally everything in 3 rooms of the house was plastered! I was shaking so bad from the scare that I sat down on the chair for a second and Jacob started screaming and came running down the hall where he slipped on the sauce and fell, was so freaked out he wouldn't just hold still and kept trying to get up which made him keep falling until he was plastered head to toe with sauce. I picked him up and carefully made my way back across the floor to try and clean him up, finally got him cleaned up and back to sleep on the chair, grabbed a roll of paper towels and Danika started screaming in the bedroom, so I went in to get her, she kept spitting up like crazy and Screaming every time I tried to lay her down. Luckily Mark was on his way home by this time so I held her and waited for him. He got home and held her a little then put both of the kids to bed, we got out rags, mop bucket, mop, paper towels,etc and started scrubbing everything and then the power kept going off every 5 minutes! Never did get my photography stuff typed up which means starting from scratch, I was able to salvage most of my props with a good cleaning, even this afternoon the house still spells badly of spoiled spag sauce :( Ick and I am still finding it plastered on things that I didn't even SEE last night! It has been a NIGHTMARE!!!!

Tales of Jacob! : )
I asked Jacob if he wanted some strawberries. He asked me what kind they are. I told him the red kind, not knowing exactly what he meant by that. He scowled up at me and informed me, "I wanted the blue ones!"
I was in the bedroom talking to Mark and Jacob was out here yelling trying to get my attention. When I came out, he was sitting here with his hands held up in the air yelling, " Mom mom! I have hair growing in my nose, but dont worry it's not the kind that chickens have, it's the ones like Daddy grows in his nose!"
