Quickest Cure for Frustration

Today I was irritable and gaining speed towards angry as I cleaned my house.  My children, try as they might, would not help with the simple task of putting away their toys.  J kept loosing focus to his legos. (I can hear your awe of surprise.) 

I started to count backwards from 10 as I, myself, sorted toys into buckets when J handed me what he had been so diligently working on.

J: Its a cleaning robot!  Well, it doesn't actually clean, but it will help you smile when you are frustrated!

How could I do anything but.

Quick Bedtime Songs

So little A loves to sing, and twice a week she learns new songs at school from the music teacher.  Today's new song, "You are my Sunshine".  So we had to sing "You are my Sunshine" about five times at bedtime tonight.  Finally I said it was time for bed.

A: Three more songs.
Me: One more song.
Thinking, thinking, thinking.....

A: Okay, but we are going to sing "Old MacDonald" and sing it with ALL the animals!

Return to the blog o sphere

Every so often my husband asks, "Why don't you blog anymore?"

Well, let's hope that this return to blogging will last a bit longer.  I have a few months loaded up with quips and funny moments, so I will try to dig them out of my brain (which is a bit mushy in my 5th month of pregnancy).
