What was it I was just typing about patience?
Oh, yeah--that I seemed to have more of it in the wake of our beach trip.
Well, well, well...the more I seem to have, the more it seems my children, namely my son, find the need to try.
So almost exactly at the same time I was blogging the virtues of vacation, my lovely son had moved the little red chair from our garden room into the kitchen (two connected rooms) as he has seen Big Sister do oh so many times, find a Panda Bear cup, and stuck it under the filtered water dispenser of our refridgerator.
Where it stayed.
When I got upstairs to check on dinner I was stunned--to say the least--to see the entire kitchen floor covered in about 1/16 inch of water or so, as well as half of the garden room. As I frantically scanned the ceiling for The Probable Leak in our half-a**ed house, my eyes caught sight of the light illuminating my answer on the freezer door.
Every single towel in our house was thus called into involuntary active duty sop. Nobody had better be wanting a shower tonight.
It is only with the help of a BIG glass of Merlot that I have come to see the humor of this situation.
So...how many days again until my vacation??? SEVEN....AND COUNTING!!! (Do you hear me, New Zealand?!)

ResponderEliminarHi D. Housewife!
ResponderEliminarOH. OH. And then all the wet towels to wash and dry.
Kids just don't know what they put their parents through.
Hope you have a nice vacation.
Hi, ladies...
ResponderEliminarYes, I have been told many times that these are the Best Years of My Life. My friend She-ra, in her blog, has commented on the fact that it is rather the memories of these years that fulfill the "best" factor!
ARGH! My daughter left a washrag in the sink (which then plugged the drain...) and since we bought the CHEAPEST sink possible, it has no extra drain hole and you know the rest of the story. Ah, the joy of laundering towels. I hope you enjoy the time off! Looking forward to the photos...
ResponderEliminarI hear you!!!
ResponderEliminarI had a laugh (at your expense it must be said). But just look at him when he's asleep .... that's the cure for any grumps - right there!!!
And he is such a georgeous little boy, that I can testify to from the snaps you've emailed me - he is a beautiful boy - mischevious - but beautiful.
