Another Day ~ Another Mess!

Well, being the mom of 4 plus a dog and a cat (they argue almost as much as the kids!!) and owning a thriving Tupperware Business, I decided I didn't have enough to do! So, I also have a children's boutique (www.4snugbugs.com) but, that's a story for another day!

Todays story involves 6 yes 6 GIANT boxes from Tupperware! ALL filled with OTHER people's stuff! Try explaining that to my 4 year old! EVERY time I close a party, and get the orders to deliver, we go through this, is this ours Mommy, No Amanda, this is for a customer. HMPH!!! You give your customers all the good stuff!!! She then stomps out of the room.

She occupies herself (knowing I'm doing an inventory, yeah, they forget to include products sometimes!), by making it look like an earthquake took place in the other room! Then she comes back in, all happy, as if she's forgotten the last 15 minutes, Mommy is this for us? So, I say, you silly goose, this is for my customers! To which the chorus begins again! Mommy, you get your customers allllllllll the good stuff! This time it's a little louder, and more dramatic!

So, I ask her if she wants to help, she crosses her arms, shakes her head no, and I go back to work, next thing I know there is her head under mine "helping" by taking things out of the box I ma counting, and putting them into the done box. Ok, time to start over! lol

So, now I have THOROUGHLY inventoried my Tupperware shipment, and I have a HUGE mess in the living room! But, guess what? I'm a meanie mommy! Because I asked her to help me clean it up! It seems ALL I do, is make her work! You see, she had to do all that inventorying!

ahhhh the joys of parenting, and working from home!
