I hate to say it but the day continued in that way. It isn't always like this though.

it gets easier. Well-kinda. They still break glass. You still yell. They still drive you bat-shit crazy but in different ways. When they get older they roll their eyes and slam their doors and you are dumb and know NOTHING. They snarl when you give them their clothes to put away, they whine as they clean up THEIR mess. They tell YOU when you screw up. You still get to do five million loads of laundry every week. You still get to cook five million meals a week...but the best prat of that is tweens can pour cereal and make toast or waffles-when they learn the proper toaster settings (and let me tell you how nice it is to sleep in because you taught them how). It won't last very long. If you look at a puzzle, say 1000 pieces, this is about 10 of them :( The chaos goes on forever but it changes. Kind of like DNA and RNA replication, the strands keep getting made exactly the same on DNA but the RNA is constantly changing and chunking. (can you tell what I've been doing?)
