-I spent way too much money on ornamental pumpkins. It was necessary.
-I found out that not one, but two humans I know are currently
growing babies.
-I double checked just to be sure. I’m not.
-I let Phin play at this little indoor playground in the
mall and followed him around like a hawk. I even gave the Moms of the pushy
little kids mean eyes until they told their kids what’s what. Then I realized
Phin wasn’t bugged and really, as my coworker has pointed out, I was the
maladjusted one.
-I took Phin over the
hill to a family party where he charmed his great Grandpa and attempted to
destroy some decorative foliage. It was stressful so I allowed him to have more
sugar than the entire previous 18 months combined. He thanked me by screaming
for 80 of the miles home. Construction miles. Screaming.
-I let him take my phone apart because it’s broken so who
cares, right? When I put it back together so he could do it again, it worked.
So that game ended quickly.
-My baby sister crashed on my bed in a dress and heels ten
minutes after I gave her a dose of Tylenol PM. Wish it did that to me. I basically forced her into jammies and shoved
her on my couch. Phin poked her several times in the middle of the night and
she didn’t wake up.
-I tried on my old prom/homecoming court dresses when
cleaning out my closet. Not sure why those are in there after moving five times
in ten years. I told myself I needed to pack them away or donate them, but
instead I just hung them back up. Lazy.
I cuddled that perfect baby of mine way too much last night
and accidently fell asleep in his crib. There is no quiet or graceful way for
me to climb out of that thing so I woke him up and then we both fell asleep in
my bed. He kicked me in the face all night long. Not at all awesome.
Still, a great Mel slash Phin weekend. Love this little
life.
you are hysterical. i used to give mommys the mean eyes too. and i too was the only one who cared.
ReplyDeleteI didn't think it was possible for an adult to fall asleep in a crib. Did you take some Tylenol PM too?
ReplyDeleteI too have fallen victim to giving more sugar during stressful situations... Didn't work over here either.
and this post makes me even more excited to have kids. i'm serious.
ReplyDeletei guess, i should be honest. the only reason is because i really want to give other moms the mean eyes. what power.
ReplyDeleteNessa - Mean eye's are a Mommy's right. You go.
ReplyDeleteT- Totally possible if you you reach the rigth level of exhaustion. But your neck wakes up calling you names.
Faith- The power is real and scary. I won't lie. I've abused it.
hmm......
