Blogging with four children under two

Think of seven things to do whilst in the shower. Would list them here but have obviously forgotten all about them now that I am out of the shower.

Resolve dispute over the Blue Car in which both toddlers are trying to sit.

Sit down at computer which is frozen because the Power button is within reach of the children and someone forcibly shut it down at some point. Reboot.

While waiting for computer to turn back on pick up four things from the floor around the desk and put them away. Despair at ever having a clean house.

Open up Blogger. Try to think of anything to write. Fail.

Look out the window of the French door to the courtyard and shake head in wonderment at the tableau which consists of: green tricycle, green plastic baby pool filled with two inches of dirty water, overturned insulated wheeled cooler which is used more for giving children rides than for keeping food or beverages cool, old fashioned rocking horse, one red polka-dotted Mary Jane, Elmo, potted avocado awaiting its next life in the ground, small blue trampoline, infamous Blue Car. More stuff.

Turn back to blog. Boy toddler is on my right, bushing buttons on the home phone and making it ring.

Try to think of anything to write. Can't.

Decide to come back later.
