Clean up in aisle...entire house

Today has been just one of those days.  Rob's alarm didn't go off so we started off the day about 45 minutes later than usual.  Both kids also needed a bath this morning as I have been a tad lazy the last 2 nights.  So I quickly shower and then start to get both kids ready for a bath.  I strip down Tyler on our bed and go to put his clothes in the hamper.  I return to a nice big puddle on our bed spread.  Really?  It is only 7:00am.  Strip the bed...clean up #1.  Finally get both kids in the tub--success!  As I am getting Ava dressed I hear a crash followed by shattered glass.  What on earth is that.  I go running to find Tyler had broken Ava's night light on our bathroom floor.  I grab him hoping there is no glass on his feet and just shut the door and pretend my magic fairy maid will tend to that mess.  Now both kids dressed and trying to get downstairs.  I sit on the top of the stairs to then carry Tyler down and I notice chocolate milk sprayed across my wall from a sippy cup Tyler had apparently decided to test his throwing arm and toss  down the flight of stairs.  Milk everywhere, glass upstairs and a peed on comforter. Have I mentioned it is now only 7:20am.  Get the kids downstairs, sit them on the couch and turn on the TV.  Thank you Mickey Mouse Clubhouse for babysitting on short notice.  Leave kids and tend to the milk all over the wall and the shattered glass in the bathroom.  Back to square one and now time for breakfast.  The usual mess ensues when I see Tyler throwing his banana and bread all over the kitchen. Clean up mess # 4 or 5 too many to count this am.  Now it is 8:00am and the vacuum has made 2 appearances and a trip to the dry cleaners is now on the agenda for today.  I feel like it has already been a full day and we are just getting started!
