I get quite a giggle out of all you parents of small ones thinking it gets easier as they get older….

OMGosh.. sounds like You DO have a predicament….hehe.. I think I have less trouble with my kids.. (a houseful of goats too.. only mine are the hoofed kind.. ) yeah they do poop on the floor but they are such cute little berry-like poops.. and no unfortunately goats don’t eat everything..they are very Finicky eaters.. (try eating an apple and offering the remaining part to a goat after you had YOUR dirty mouth on it.. YUK they won’t touch it. hehe) I feel for you.. Hey.. maybe you should trade in your “goats” for Real goats.. less back talk, never stay out late..no tattling.. well yeah they do tattle.. and no need to buy expensive label jeans.. LOL
I do however have Just the right t-shirt for you..what else? ‘Goats Gone Wild!’ Buck up.. and don’t let’em butt you around..

Wow you just got me so excited to have two kids that will one day be your children’s ages.

It’s really uncool to follow a sentence with “not” these days…so I’ll just hope the sarcasm came through.

Wow. I totally relate to you. Mine are 5, 3 and 1. I was hoping it would get better. I think I’ll go stab myself with a popsicle stick since it’s clearly not going to improve for at least 17 more years.

Your goats could cut the lawn for you, too. If you get a female, you could really milk this one for all it’s worth. And cheese! Make cheese!

One of the seldom mentioned benefits of homeschooling: Your children get used to being locked out of the house regardless of the weather.

I identify with everything you said, but this one made me SNORT with laughter:

“Came inside to ask me why I’m yelling STOP COMING INSIDE.”

I have to do that every freaking day…

Too late for you now at this house, but perhaps a tip for the new house in the Land Of Sweltering Heat and Humidity:

Install a bubbler outside.

(Whoops– sorry only your Wisconsin readers will get that. I’ll try again:)

Install a drinking fountain outside.

Yes. My neighbor did it, and it nearly eliminated the tracking in of the sand and the sneaking out of the popsicles and the screaming of the “Get OUTSIDE!!!”. Seriously. Her kids, my kids, kids from blocks away came to marvel and drink of the water from the Baker Bubbler. Of course, Mr. Baker had to return to the hardware store a number of times during the installation, and one time after the installation because the Baker Kids at first refused to drink the waterdue to it tasting “rubbery”, but a new hose purchase cleared up that problem.

Get yourself an outhouse to go with it, and the kids will never need to enter the house again! (Just tell them it’s how Laura Ingalls lived or something.)

The food will never taste good to a child if he/she does not first condemn it. Unless it’s chicken nuggets or chocolate cake. Those are “condemn free” foods.
