Crikey

Damage report: June 15, 2010

  • 1 quart of strawberries just thrown in the trash. Reason? They didn't have one.
  • Poop smeared on the chair and a throw blanket. A certain potty training independent boy neglected to tell his mom he needed help wiping a number 2. I didn't even know he had used the bathroom.
  • 12 ounces of high end, can't afford to be replaced, anti-wrinkle cream applied by an older sibling to a younger one trying to style his hair.
  • Tried to refill an empty soap bottle in bathroom, by themselves.
  • Marker. Oh the blue marker.

Did I mention it wasn't even noon??????

You may look at this list and wonder, where was I when all the carnage was happening? I was nursing, or changing a diaper, or helping to clean up one mess while another was being created. Three kids. One me.

Today, I wish I could be in more places at once... Today, I wish I had a better sense of humor IN the moment. Instead of after.

I would like a do-over.

While your IN the moment is just awful, for the rest of us reading it there is sympathy as well as a little laughter. I've always been amazed at the "stuff" your kids get into and do. Having said that yesterday we had an incident with a blue sharpie marker that included carpet, body, and a now ruined art easel. You are not alone.
