I just finished a 15 minute diaper change, and no poop was involved! There was a lot of cajoling though, as in “please can I put on your diaper? please? can I put it on now? please?”... and it ended with “ok, are you done playing with your pee pee now?”
*pee pee as in what my kids call their “private part” not actual pee!
Remember how I was sick last week, well in my attempts to be more “green” (as in eco-friendly), I was collecting my tissues on my desk so that I could throw them in with the organic waste… I never actually got around to doing that though and this morning the tissues were in the garbage courtesy of my hubby who really hated the sight of them!
I don’t know, but markers on kids doesn’t really bother me that much!
And apparently, markers on the wall either! Well, it does bother me, but that wall needs to be painted anyways, so I don’t know if I care all that much, but my husband has not seen it yet, and will surely lose it with me, as the kid was in my care at the time! (but in my defense, I was billing a client at the time, so I didn’t want to make any mistakes!) Any ideas on what ‘creative’ excuse to use this time??
My kids, in the evenings, behave a little nuts. I am sure that you know what I mean…
So last night, as the 1 year old and 3 year old were running around and screaming, my 5 year old was sitting quietly on the couch. Once I was done passing out my usual “if you don’t stop that right now, I will have to punish you!”, or “don’t take that toy away from your brother!”, or “how many times have I told you not to spit in your hands and rub it all over your face??”, I look at my eldest and said “wow baby, thanks for behaving so good today!”, to which he very seriously responded, “it’s ok mommy, but you know, I am really just tired!”
I picked up my son from school today and as we were stepping down from the curb, I kinda forgot the actual ‘stepping’ part and twisted my ankle! Shocking right? I know… I was shocked as well, given my usual graceful disposition and everything! And just as a side note, if you’re ever in this situation, you may want to avoid driving immediately after!
So, we’re in the car, my 5 year old and I…
me: Arrrrrgh, kid! Oh My God!!! This HURTS!!
5 year old (slightly scared and whispering almost): Is it because of me?
me: Awwww honey, of course not!
5 year old (almost pissed off): Well, why are you telling me then?!!!
Umm, ok then, I am so glad my kids are growing up with such empathy!
In other news, I am doing NaBloPoMo this year again, even though last year I failed miserably! This time around, I have a plan, I am going with photos, haiku, recipes, and other fun little tidbits. Also, I am doing some random giveaways, but only to subscribers… so if you would like to be notified of the giveaways, please subscribe here.
My kids… pretending to be race cars!
You will notice that there are moments when you can only hear but not see them, that is because I only cleaned the corridor for this movie, and so could only film them when they were within said corridor.
Enjoy!
And yes, the baby is wearing underpants over his sleeper! (by his own request)
