I'm not proud that it reduced me to being the woman standing next to the salad section of a grocery store hanging onto a mobile phone signal with desperation while waiting for the winners of the World Cup to be read out by her sick son who should have been in bed resting-- not standing next to ESPN.
diagram THAT sentence Mrs. Hutton.
Yesterday I truly wished for a meteor to land on my car. I had about 5 hours too many with a child who talks non-stop. I actually begged her to give her voice a rest...
"The Mums on the bus go 'chittah chattah chittah chattah'... "
"Mummy, it snowed even more on the hard floors outside"
"Why are you driving slow?" "Why are we stopping?" "Where are the brothers?"
THEN
She ended up in my bed where she moaned, cried and talked in her sleep.
NASA says there are waaay more stars and galaxies out there than they first believed...
and not one meteor could find it's way to me.
Well today is another day. A chance to get it right with the sick boy who had to be neglected, with the Energizer Chatter Box, with the military postal service who just MAY have my DVD today...
Today is also the day when I can announce the winner of the A Walk in My Shoes DVD/CD bundle:
From a distant room in the house is someone singing. 3 Guesses who has already started her day...
Congrats to Mom24!!!!
ReplyDeleteI used to have an energizer bunny too! He is all grown up now and have 5 bunnies of his own. And they go non stop!!!! Ha! Pay backs are a bitch!!

Yay! Thank you. I, too, have an energizer bunny and it fills me with all kinds of mommy-guilt. I always feel like she isn't getting the attention she needs/deserves and that's why it's nonstop. I think it gave God a chuckle to give me my neediest child last, when my energy and patience were at their least.
ReplyDeleteQatar?? Seriously?
Do your children really rest in bed when they're sick? Mine lay puking/coughing/sneezing all over the couch planting germs to infest the rest of us.
Hope everyone's feeling better soon.
Driving to Kentucky last week, I imposed a no talking zone. Keith thought I was being hormonal. The kids thought I was being crazy (which may be the same thing as hormonal.) I thought I was brilliant.
ReplyDeleteI think all of mine talk nonstop. It drives me CRAZY. Absolutely nuts. I can't count how many times I have said, "No one can talk again until I say so!" Unfortunately that only lasts about 23 seconds. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteQatar. That blows my mind. WTH?
I have grandchildren who chatter from morning to night.Don't know where they get the energy from.

Nuts in May
I'm going to guess Ky. Did I get it right? HA!
ReplyDeleteYour diagram the sentence remark made me laugh. Believe it or not, I used to like diagramming sentences. I thought it was kind of fun, although I'm not sure I'd remember how to do it now. Yes, I'm fully aware that that is an odd thing to think is fun. :D
Hope everybody gets well at your house soon and you have a great weekend!
p.s. Would it be wrong to invest in a pair of earplugs? I might be tempted if it were me. ;)
Sorry about that meteor. Maybe it's holding out for when she is a teenager?
