LOL! I, too, am learning not to take things so seriously. :) @cindy #2-My mom keeps telling me that the kids will grow up all too fast...it's hard to believe when I'm in the middle of diapers and potty training! But I think I'm enjoying the baby days more with Jkaile than I did with the others, knowing they are short. :) Maybe that's why the youngest get spoiled??!! ha!@ellie-okay, that sounds like a truly exhausting mess! Must have been quite discouraging! :( wow. Yeah, rocks have owners around here, too, although quite a few of them just tend to hang around free...any rock with crystal in it is the rage, they are all over the place, on my windowsill, under the couch, in our bed, in the washer...you get the picture...sigh.Rebecca Conduff Aguirrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328658355319045462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2620023998295934451.post-11337195436651438022008-11-12T10:54:00.000-07:002008-11-12T10:54:00.000-07:00My interesting day a few years ago when my husband...My interesting day a few years ago when my husband was gone for a few weeks began when I got home very late from a kid's event with very tired kids and an even tireder mom. I went down to turn off a light in the laundry room and was puzzled by the bad smell. I know that I had changed the cat litter not that long ago, so went in to investigate.<BR/><BR/>The laundry room sink was full of water. It had overflowed into a Costco sized bucket of laundry soap which had then overflowed into the cat litter box which had in turn over flowed dirty, soapy water all over the floor and onto the laundry on the floor.<BR/><BR/>I dug in the bottom of the sink to find little rocks. I located the owner of the rocks. (yes, in our house, rocks have owners!) Then I asked the inevitable question - WHY?<BR/><BR/>"I just wanted to see what would happen."<BR/><BR/>Oh. Of course. Why not?<BR/><BR/>(The salt filter cleans itself into the laundry room sink every once in awhile, this is why the water all over.)<BR/><BR/>Well - what happens.... I showed him what happens, along with the law of cause and effect. What happens is you clean it up, not mommy, not anyone else, you clean it up, and tonight. He hasn't done that since, although he has done the bathroom sink at times...<BR/><BR/>Life usually goes nuts when Daddy is traveling.

I mean<BR/>really colored them all over and the backs of their necks and everything!!! I wish I had taken a picture now, but then I just started scrubbing and trying to get the marker off...I don't know why I was in such a hurry. The permanent marker does not wash off well and the colors they used were blue and green...so they had a blue green tinge about them for several days after...<BR/>now its funny, then it really wasn't. I wish I had not taken some things so seriously as I did then. Oh, Glad you found the keys :) (once Tyler locked me out of the house with the other two little ones inside.... I had to pry a window open and break loose one of the bars to get the door open! that wasn't fun either)Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14059743967537421852noreply@blogger.com
