Generally I have fast potty breaks. I don’t dilly-dally or fart around. (pun definitely intended.) For some reason my kids choose the most inconvenient times to need something from me. Like when I’m on the phone with someone or when I’m in the bathroom. In the 2 minutes that I was in the bathroom, including washing my hands, I had all four of my kids come to talk to me.
Jason saw that it’s snowing outside and decided that he needed to talk to me.
“Mom, since it’s snowing and we might be able to go sledding tomorrow can you make hot chocolate for us and use the mugs that have lids. Only if it snows enough for us to go sledding of course. Mom, are you listening?”
David was the next kid to come looking to see why I wasn’t in my usual spots.
“Mom, I am going to cut this blanket to make a fort. Okay?”
Jocelyn was next.
“Hey Mom, how do I cut tomatoes?”
Laurelyn has started getting into this habit as well, even though her speech is a little impaired since she’s only 16 months. It went something like this.
“Mom! Mom! Moooooom! gubugubuswafagubugubuswafa.”
To which I replied, “Sorry Laurelyn. I’m going to the bathroom. I’ll be out in a minute.”
Laurely, clear as day said, “Okay Mom.”
I wanted to smile but I was busy.
Speaking of being in the bathroom, I thought that I would ask you, since we’re friends and I can write freely, how is your bladder control? You see, after having four kids I am starting to wonder if I have a problem. I use to laugh at my friend who has to wear a pad to play DDR or go running but now I am a sympathetic user of the activity related bladder issues. I have to wear a pad to exercise in. Sure, I admit it. My fitness instructor had us doing lunges, jumping rope, bear walking, stepping and kickboxing. I don’t think my body likes bouncing anymore. Do you remember when we were young and we use to look for opportunities to bounce? Oh, come on. You know what I’m talking about. These days I’m afraid if I bounce I’m going to bounce out a little more than I mean to.
It goes away right? Right?
Now that I’ve shared a little too much detail I am going to retreat back to Youtube.
He wanted to cut the blanket with scissors? hahahaha. That’s awesome!
You make me laugh so much, I think your blogs are hilarious. I love Laurelyn’s comments, you do a great job of kid impersonation quotations. About your bladder, I think your screwed for life, that time of thing just gets worse, I really don’t know what I’m talking about, just trying to make you paranoid. Love yea
