I've got a secret...and other interesting tid bits..
I guess after I post it here, it won't be a secret anymore now will it? On top of that, I guess it really isn't much of a secret because the children and the husband already know. Nonetheless..well actually I guess part of it is a secret still.
I have January 2nd off of work!! The attorneys I work for decided to give us the day off. The kids and husband know that. The boys go back to school January 2nd to make up one of the two snow days from the week after Thanksgiving.
Here's the secret part: after I take the boys to school, I am going home and taking a VERY long nap! I am turning off my cell (well, at least to vibrate - that way if the schools call for some reason I will know) and taking an undisturbed nap. Why? Because having a puppy in the house is worse than having a baby in the house. Also, because I've been very, very stressed and could use an undisturbed nap - you know, one where the kids don't come in every five minutes.
DS3 needs a new nickname. I am thinking Monkey Boy will suffice. I'll change the cast of characters later.
You just won't guess what he did last night. Okay, some of you might that actually know me. He got up on the top bunk and tried to swing down with a sheet...might I add that the sheet was unsecured? He received a nasty knock on the noggin. No swelling, no loss of consciousness, and no signs of a concussion. He just has a headache.
1 Little Monkey jumping on the bed He fell off and hit his head He called for mama and mama said What the hell'd you do that for?
No actually it was *ear piercing scream*, me doing Olympic style leaps over various furniture and dogs, all sorts of nasty scenarios running through my mind, and finding him up and walking while holding his head, and DS1 laughing.
I so need a vacation - one where people play Canasta...
