You know, the norm....
Laurie empties my basket of notes and books by my bedside. Stephen pokes holes in a bag of flour with a pen at the grocery store. Laurie rummages through the bathroom trash. Stephen soaks a large towel in the sink. Laurie puts a handful of dirt in her mouth - every. single. day. Stephen hacks up a pretzel on my computer screen. Laurie disperses all the Tupperware to the far corners of the house. Stephen picks Laurie up by the neck.
We haven't had toilet paper on the roll in WEEKS. I just keep it in a large pile on the back of the toilet.
And I'll have you know they eat 3 meals and 2 snacks a day.
It's raining sippy cups galore around here now that Laurie Bird is using one too.
I caught myself sneaking around in the kitchen last week, trying to silently make banana bread because I just wanted to make it without my 2-year old joining me.
Don't get me started on naptime. Or lack there of.
I wouldn't trade any of this for anything in the world. But to be quite honest, I don't know whether I'm coming or going.
That's all I have to say today.
“You have to laugh at yourself, because you'd cry your eyes out if you didn't.”

Oh, SBS.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could come over to play with your rascals to give you a little break. But then I'd want to hang out with you myself. It should be a long visit so we could do both. :)
the wood is tired and the wood is old, but we'll make it fine if the weather holds
Sometimes it feels really good to get it out, doesn't it? On tough days I try to think about how much I'm going to miss these little bitties when they're adults and out of the house. You're such a sweet, sweet mama to those little two. Don't get discouraged!
ReplyDeleteOh, SB, I feel this way with one. ONE.
ReplyDeleteHelp!
They're fed AND loved. That's the biggest thing :) keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteI understand! I've been there! I'm praying for you!

ReplyDeleteOh, how I remember those days! You will make it through, I promise. I wish I lived closer so I could enjoy them for a few hours and give you a break! I pray for y'all every day.

ReplyDeleteI hate sippy cups... i hate them. but i also hate how my 2 year old spills her open top cup every chance she gets... i guess dehydration isn't a good option...
i totally can relate. i had to quit facebook when my boys were toddlers. they are now 3 & 4 and i wouldn't change their 17 month age difference for the world. right now they are playing building a trail where they take all their toys and put them in a line! so just so you know, it gets easier.
