Why the existence of this blog is completely pointless...

Allow me to give you a brief glimps into my everyday life.

It's 9 am.
Children A-E are up and about.
Child A is playing with legos.
Child B (the artist) is writing, drawing, cutting and pasting.
Children C-D have decided to get out every board game they own and scatter the contents of said board games across the length of the house.
Child E has messed her diaper and is hungry.
Children A-D are dressed, which means that 4 pairs of pj's are lying somewhere on the floor. (Side note: There are lovely hooks on all bedroom doors whose purpose is to house said pjs.) This also means that various clothing has, for absolutely no reason, been pulled out and discarded on the floor.
There are 5 beds to be made. (Side note: Children A-D are supposed to make their beds before exiting their rooms. Clearly they are very obedient children.)
Someone (most likely Child B) has taken a bath and left the bathroom a disaster.
Someone (most likely Child B) has taken all the clean laundry out of the drier and left it on the floor whilst searching for something to wear.
There are 5 clean loads of laundry to fold.
There are 5 dirtly loads of laundry to wash.
Children A-D are hungry and couldn't wait for breakfast, and therefore made themselves toast, leaving the kitchen a disaster.
There are various toys, diapers, blankets etc scattered throughout the house.
Daddy needs his lunch packed.
Mommy didn't sleep last night.
Mommy needs coffee.
Note: All of this occurs on a typical day. On a school day, please add to the above statements that the house must be cleaned, breakfast served, and school began by 8 AM. Therefore, I must rise long before the sun.

And that, my friends, is why the existence of this blog is completely pointless. Because I will never, ever have time to update it.
That is all.

PS. The only reason I had time to update today is because Children A-D spent the night at Grandma's last night. Thank you.
