If anyone one is thinking about going into a business that involves importing things, please let me know. I will talk some sense into them.
It is now business day 4 into getting diapers from ship into our possession.
I found the key to keeping the kids out of my hair: after breakfast- announce that we're going to get dressed and do school OR clean up. They disappear. Except the toddler who runs outside and lets the dog escape (and one of these days (soon) I'm not going to chase her)
BUT quiet and out of sight kids means one of 2 things-
1. they are dead or kidnapped
2. they are finding something/doing something they shouldn't be and don't want to get caught.
Today I saw them sneak into the backyard while I was on the phone (I already said I spend HOURS on the phone with each shipment, even now that we use a customs broker instead of doing it ourselves). I figured.. well they'll be quiet, it's fenced, they'll be safe. They'll probably ride the jeep or bikes. Joey had asked for permission to ride his bike, so the other figured it was blanket permission.. because when I put my finger to my lips to tell them "shhhh," shake head no, say/gesture 'shhh'.. it translates to "mom's busy, let's do what we want.." UGH.
And minutes later I hear shouts for joy which means 1 thing- either Santa landed in our backyard or they're doing something they shouldn't be.
They decided at 9:30 am it was warm and sunny enough to turn on the water hose and play spray-each-other with it. Granted, we do live in paradise, but at 9:30 it's still about 60 degrees.. So.. drag them back in, send them to get dressed so we can get leave the house to Overnight something that should have been there 3 days ago.. and they're fighting. So it's a good sign- they're not getting into extraordinary trouble.. but it also means they're NOT getting dressed
Another day in Paradise~~
