Oh, today, today, today....
Hmmmm.
Today.
Well, let me see. Can you tell that this tricycle has a compartment on the back? It is for wee ones to haul their goods around. It was too cold to go outside today so the kids played in the garage while I cleaned out the refrigerator. I checked on them and found Kayt playing in the back compartment. She was splashing in water. Shocked, I asked Noah how water got in there. He said, Oh, that's not water, it's pee.
He went on to expand his argument by saying, it's okay mom. I needed to do it. It's posed to have water in there. Are you proud of me?
That was fun.
This afternoon I was wrestling Kayt to give her a breathing treatment. Noah was quiet, problem number one. But, being the optimist that I am, I decided to practice my positive thinking in hopes that he was occupying himself with something purposeful. Shortly after, he frolicked into the living room and told me that his stomach had been hurting. Then he said, but it's better now that I pooped in the bathtub.
You guessed it. He did.
I'm going to Wal-Mart tomorrow to get a new bath mat.
That was fun.
While doing laundry, I raised my head up and hit it on the corner of the cabinet door above the washer.
That was fun.
I was putting toys away in Noah's closet and somehow managed to get a splinter under my fingernail. I'm still baffled by that one.
That was fun.
To sooth my pounding headache, we headed to Sonic for caffeine. I felt I deserved a treat; Cheddar Peppers! Noah climbed over the seat and spilled the ranch dressing all over the console of my car and my cell phone.
That was fun.
We went to church tonight and my hubby spoke on grace. He talked about just the sort of day that I had had. The one when nothing seems to go your way, you're forced to stop at every red light, your appliances break and your kids do just about everything possible to push you over the edge, yet you still love them more than your own life. And although I have the headache from below and have had a crazy, crazy day, I love my kids and their constant activity more than every good thing. I'm thankful for their healthy bodies that can terrorize the house and their booming voices and their constant speech. It is because of grace that I love them and grace that I am loved.
Tonight, with unwashed hair and crossed eyes, God gave me a reminder.
That was fun.

Oh what a day and what a reminder. I hope your MDO day is smooth and relaxing for you!
Yes, that was quite a day! But, you're right- those are the moments that get you from one happy snapshot to the next. BTW... thanks for the 10 day prayer map for your honey. I've been using it.
I like this post. Three thumbs up!
I've had days exactly like that. And a splinter under the fingernail is very painful. It's happened to me before. I hope today is peaceful for you. Have a good one.
As crazy as it sounds I can wait until our baby gets here so that I can have those "that was fun" moments.
Everytime I read your blog and get this large smile across my face. Thanks for sharing all these amazing stories!
Oh the JOY! Isn't life exciting? It's always nice to be reminded that others have "crazy" days too. Have a blessed weekend!
My favorite part is the pee....and the fact that Noah justified it! ;)
thank you. I needed this. I have had one of those weeks and I think I needed the reminder that "yes, that was fun."
instead of selling my toddler on ebay. :-D

Oh my goodness! Hope your day was better today!
Thank you, Lord for healthy and rambunctious kiddos!!
