Mopping

I once had a friend tell me that she was mad at the school district for cutting the summer short, and starting school so early. It was the year that my twins were starting kindergarten, and as she said that, I thought she was CrAzY! Well, today I feel no different. I am one of those mothers that LOVES school, and breaks are hard. Today as I was cleaning I came across the new book for Relief Society lessons on Goerge Albert Smith. I opened it up and was immediately interested in the life story in the beginning. Soon I was crying as I read about the faith he had, and the respect and adoration he had for his wife. I was a little too much into the book, and as I finished reading a paragraph, I hear my boys all laughing and sounding crazy, you know...the sounds you never want to hear because you know they are destroying something! I run into the kitchen to see all of my boys on towels on their hands and knees "mopping the floor" with the water that they poured from a bucket onto the kitchen floor. That was their chore they were supposed to be doing. It was so bad Cael jumped up and asked if I could get him his swim suit. I calmly asked then to put the full bucket that Colby was playing in, in the sink, told them every drop of water better be mopped up by the time I come back. Time to go see who gets to nap with the babies today! ALL 5 BOYS!!!
