There's always something that a child says (or that I say) that get locked away in my head because it was funny or random. Today was one of those days.
"Mommy, are dragons real?" by Thomas
-Normally this is an OK question. It is NOT OK to ask this question at 5:30 AM This is how my day started.
"Kyle left his apple downstairs, and we are killing the ants" By Matt
-Kyle came over Friday night, so that's how long an eaten apple has been downstairs. I saw the boys running over ants with hot wheel cars. This was at 9:00 AM
"Hurry up boys! We need to leave in 15 minutes!" by me
-As I uttered these words I realized that it would be nearly impossible to leave in 15 minutes because the boys were in their PJ's eating breakfast, and I was in my PJ's unshowered and hungry. You tell me if this is feasible to get 4 people out the door in 15 minutes. Actually I'm impressed to say that we did it in 25 minutes (me still unshowered and hungry), but we were on time for our movie. (which Timmy fussed and squirmed through practically the entire time). Oh well, it was free.
"Which would you rather do; clean or take a nap?" by me
-I decided that I was tired of things being cluttered and I was feeling overwhelmed. So I uttered these words out of desperation. Never give kids choices that you are not prepared to follow through with. They were supposed to choose the nap option so I could get some peace and quiet. They both chose the option to clean. I said, "Fine. After your nap." Moms never play fair, do we?
"Mommy, Timmy is falling down the stairs" by Thomas
-As Matt opened the door to go outside, he let in a wasp. Unfortunately at the same time I had removed the gate to let Timmy crawl down the hallway so we could go run another errand. I was busy watching the wasp, in order to make sure it went back outside, that I momentarily forgot about Timmy's mad dash down the hall. Thankfully I was standing at the top of the stairs and I felt something by my leg, so he only fell down one or two stairs.
"This too shall pass." by old lady at the craft store.
-As soon as we get to the store Thomas announces that he has to go to the bathroom. Thomas goes in to the bathroom while Matt and I wait outside the door (because I have stuff in my cart along with Timmy). So as I'm peaking in and out of the bathroom telling Thomas various dierctions, there is an older woman watching us and smiling. She said that she was in my shoes 25 years ago. Things will get better she said.
"Do you want to eat chicken roll ups or pizza for dinner?" by me
-I had dinner all planned for tonight. But then I remembered that tonight was buy one get one free at Dominoes. I still haven't showered, and I'm still feeling overwhelmed with cleaning and packing and sorting through stuff for our move, that I gave into ordering pizza online.
Today was one of those days. I'm looking forward to vacation.

Those are fun! :) Ah, how I miss the days of saying, "Who wants to order pizza?" Then going online and just clicking, and then 1/2 hour later, they knock on your door with your food all made. *sigh* Oh well. I suppose I should be grateful, since my kids don't eat pizza, I'd eat the whole thing myself, so it's just saving me from myself. :)) Know when you're moving yet?
Hi Jen! I'm just catching up after a long dry spell of my blog reading and realizing that-What?! you're moving to Paris!? May the Force be with you.
Awww! I miss you! Nice quotes.
