Still figuring this all out. It’s hard for me to get used to the idea that many people may see this. I am used to journal’ing and being completely open. Although I am an open person by nature, there are a lot of things I’d rather people not see. So I’ll talk about other people…my kids.
I have three awesome boys, but there are times when they can push every button I have and then find ones I didn’t know existed. The youngest of the three is so cute and knows it. He has these huge brown eyes that present the look of innocence to someone who does not know better. I know better and it’s still hard at times to keep a straight face, but yesterday was not one of those times…
I try to work from home as much as possible and yesterday was one of those days. We had already been out for a while running errands, so I instructed Em (my 3 year old) to lay on the couch and watch some TV since he had missed his nap. I trusted that the twins (8 years old) would keep an eye on him. So, after working for a half an hour I went into the living room to find Em with a bottle of bubbles half spilled on the carpet while he was chewing a wad of gum, which had been obtained from my purse whose contents were strewn all over the table. His brothers were no where in sight. UGH! In my anger I tried to get the bubble liquid off the carpet, but the more I rubbed the foamier it got. Fortunate for Em, he soon fell asleep on the couch giving us both a reprieve.
That was not the end of it, however. Later that evening he unrolled our last roll of paper towels and stuffed them in the garbage. He also decided he wanted some sunscreen on and poured the contents of the bottle all over the chair, carpet and himself. At the end of a day like that I truely want to escape, and as my usual practice, I curled up with a good book. AHHHH!
All in all it was a good day, and Em just ads excitement to my life. It’s such a good thing he is so stinkin’ adorable!
