I was going to start this post off with a question. But then I decided that this is more of a fact of life when you are a "GROWING"Parent!
In the time that Ryan and I have been parents we have had some moments that make you just want to whip out the paddle from your purse or just crack up laughing all at the same time. Tonight was one of those moments.
I decided that since Ryan was going to be working late and the boys and I would need more then a full day of R&R. we would go to the hot spot, "Target." Every mom loves a good trip to Target.
For some reason, Target shopping is just not like it used to be before kids. Unless you get a chance to sneak away alone. Before, it was like taking all the time you needed in any section of your choice. Then taking more time in the places that you thought you might need something in.<Anybody with me?
I know my brother in-law Bob is. Cause he was always getting after me and my older sister for going and spending all his and Ryan's money on a bunch of nothing. That still makes me laugh! No, now its like when you are out with the kids Grabbing much needed things for home or whatever. The best chance you are going to get at a new tank from the women's section is anything within grabbing distance from the main isle.
Target did a great thing when they put in that snack bar and made all the kid friendly things super cheap! It just makes for a trail of popcorn all throughout the store when we are done though.
Tonight I was getting the boys some flip flops when my boys are sitting quietly sipping on their ice's that had been served by a crooked boy who decided that it was a good idea to flirt with a grown women with 2 kids. Flattering, but umm no thanks kid!
One of my long time friends called on my cell phone so I decided to answer. You can imagine what happens next. All the sudden it was like these 2 caged animal's were wanting to be set free in the shoe section and didn't care that momma was calling all sorts of threats under her breath to get them to come to a halt. I struggled my way through the conversation with my friend in a couple minutes then hung up the phone. It was like the calm after a huge storm! Both of the boys were just as still as could be and quiet. I just rolled my eyes and moved on.
Twenty minutes later we are all strapped in our seats and ready to make the trip home. Then my phone rings again. Its my BF who I have been playing phone tag with for the past few days. I pick up. What do ya know! Those rascals are at it again. But this time Micah is laughing his head off at the silly words kenan is saying. Then they both are in fits of laughter. Constantly........
I am trying to get them to calm down while my friend is talking about her life a bit when I just can't stop smiling at what's going on in the back seat. But I want to pull my hair out and give up and just hang up the phone till these boys are home asleep. What do I do? Muscle through it an listen and talk to my friend. Why? Because I know that this is not the last time this will happen. And I am crazy enough to just let them yell in the background. Tonight anyway.
The other day I had one of those moments when you take yourself completely out of the situation you are in and look at it for what it is. I have a poo pee life!
I am in the middle of what seems like forever potty training time. Micah has done a great job. But lately I have had to encounter a little more then a mom should have to in the poop department. When does the buck stop is all I have to say?! Sunday was a catastrophic ordeal. That kid thinks he is pooing paint I tell ya! It was so bad I didn't know weather to clean him up first or the floor so I could get to him. That boy ended up stripped down and got the sink bath at church. Then the next night him and kenan are on their way up the stairs to get a diaper for "another"!!!! That kenan Pulls on his underpants and what do you know its allover the stairs!. I just sat on the stairs didn't know weather to laugh or cry about it again and asked myself. Where in the WORLD is Ryan when all this is happening????? It seems like that man is always gone when this is going on. Lucky!
My kids are going to hate me for blogging about them when they are older!
