Yesterday morning the parrot went off in perfect alarm clock mimicking & at the correct time I might add. She continued with phone rings & answering & various other conversation bits & pieces only to revert back to alarm clock, as if hitting the snooze button. I told my husband, Loka says it's time to get up. He said she was a half hour early. I then asked if he was going to his newly joined bible study group. He had forgotten about it - but the bird hadn't.
Later in the evening yesterday the boys were in the tub & my husband actually took charge. This was to spare my back stooping over to shampoo 3 little heads. He had bought them 2 cans of bath foam, 1 orange, 1 green. This on top of Spongebob berry scented bubble bath! Apparently my 7 yr old foamed up 2 lumps on his chest & proclaimed, "Look, I have boobs!" then turned to see his father watching him. He then sheepishly wiped them off & said nothing more on the subject. My husband was in hysterics, laughing so hard I'm sure it could be heard by neighbors 2 doors down!
So 2AM seems to be my magic time to be up in solitude in this houseful. I'm almost getting use to it & enjoying the time. Today I am currently feeling well enough that I even made it down stairs to work on some laundry. My family doesn't like wearing dirty clothes, go figure. Some days the stairs in my home feel like electric-charged barbed-wire fencing barricading me in, keeping me prisoner in my own home. Luckily, as if an escapee in "Hogan's Heroes" fashion, I managed a way through for now & can actually attend to the cascading mountains of clothing strewn about the floor near the washer & dryer. My 7 yr old insisted on wearing snow pants yesterday rather than shorts - no matter that weather was in the 70*s! I briefly suggested alternatives then figured, it's his choice & he will deal with consequences of being too hot, so be it. Learning to pick my battles has been a blessed gift to receive. If only I was this laid back with my first batch of kids!
Well, I suppose this is all for now dear readers. Have a fabulous Friday & a wonderful weekend. Happy Mother's day to all Moms! Be Blessed!
