School was canceled. I wasn't surprised, as it required three people to push me up a hill on my way home from picking up Neko from school yesterday. What a mess.

Anyway, it's a snow day today.

I've often said that my countertops are an indicator of my general state of mind. The countertops are filled to the edges. There are pieces of pipe cleaners all over the place because did you know kids can spend nearly 45 minutes cutting pipe cleaners into small pieces? Awesome.

However, the worst moment of the morning happened when I noticed I hadn't seen Shep in a while. He'd scurried off about fifteen minutes earlier to the bathroom, looking like things were pretty urgent. So I wandered into the bathroom to discover an awful scene. I actually documented it, but in my snow day frenzy I somehow deleted the photos off the memory card. Shep, you lucked out on that.

Anyway, first of all, he didn't make it to the toilet. So there's that. And then he discovered that if you get toilet paper wet, and then throw it at the wall, it sticks. And he discovered this over and over until he'd filled a good part of two walls of the bathroom with wet toilet paper (thankfully, he used water).

So I cleaned up poop and pulled toilet paper off walls and then put Shep's stock pot in time out for 24 hours.

Thankfully, my parents and Bonnie took the kids for a few hours while I pulled the house back together. The countertops are once again clean-ish.

I still can't believe I deleted that photo.
