And A Partridge In A Pear Treeeeeee
On the 9th of October, my children gave to me...
12 grey hairs
11 brand new wrinkles
10 epic tantrums
9 demands for sugar
8 sobbing siblings
7 Tell your father!
6 loads of laundry
5 blaming everything on the baby
4 calling names
3 spilled drinks
2 nap boycotts
But every kid in bed at seven-thirty!
Whew, what a day. At one point, I sat on the couch watching all three kids tag-team jumping on our mini-trampoline with unfocused eyes. My husband turned to me and said "Hey, you're like Goldi Hawn in that movie, you know, the one. Overboard. You know? Where she's sitting in the corner making blub blub blub noises?"
How very flattering. And unfortunately true. I need a break-ola. Lucky for me the calvary has been called, and my sister is swooping in to take me for lunch and shopping tomorrow afternoon. Which is way better than when Kurt dumps Goldi in an ice cold barrel of water on the porch to snap her out of it.
I pity the fool who thinks that ice water shock therapy is a fine way to deal with me. However, a nice warm bubble bath...

I thought I was the only one that got that way. I was like that on Thursday. I think our brains just start to shut down after being with them too long! ; )

Have fun with your sis! It is always healthy to get away and then you can appreciate your family more when you get back revitalized. (or at least revived a bit!)
