Today I did.....nothing! It was grand. I thought about doing the housework that I should have done yesterday. But I didn't. I thought about doing some craft projects I've been meaning to get around to. But I didn't. I guess I did do a few things. Like change a million diapers. (5 of them were poopy, between the two boys) And name hundreds of pictures for Luke. (why did I get him that picture book of your first 100 words?) And cleaned spilled yogurt off the couch and my behind. (nothing says "motherhood" like a back end that is splotched with key lime pie flavored dairy products)
I may have even said a few threats at nap time today. Someone didn't want to sleep, and kept getting up and playing with his toys. When he got out his keyboard and started playing tunes on the floor I barged in and took charge. Keyboard? Out in the hall. Toddler? Back in bed. Once I got him all tucked in again I asked him if he wanted his paci back. You know what that stinker did? Pretended to be asleep and wouldn't answer me! It was awesome. So I left with the paci. Which meant 20 minutes later I had to go back in there when he was still babbling, although this tims he listened to the threats and was sitting in bed as opposed to the floor.
After work Cody went to Dillon's house, which meant Luke and I were on our own for dinner. Not being sure what I wanted to eat, I decided to kill time by piddling around in some stores. One of the stores I went into was Tuesday Morning. I've been there once, maybe 10 years ago. Man, that place was like Goodwill, except the stuff wasn't used. I hope. And I uttered a phrase I never thought I would. "Luke! Go put those panties back where you found them. No! No! No! Don't get any more panties!" We left quickly after that.
Shopping didn't help me decide what to eat, so we just started up the highway. I saw Mimi's Cafe and thought that would be a good choice since Cody hates it and refuses to take me there. I got the best french toast stuffed with marmalade and cream cheese, topped with blueberries and strawberries with a side of scrambled eggs and sausage. I got Luke pancakes in the shape of Micky Mouse, with a side of frest fruit. When he saw my sausage though, he just had to have it. I put half a link on his plate, and the next thing I know he's almost gagging on the entire thing he's stuffed in his mouth. In typical mother fashion I hold out my hand so he can spit it out, and holy moly it's like the clown/scarf trick where it just keeps on coming. I had to laugh to keep from gaggin myself.
And finally we get to tonight. Once again Luke tried to play a concert on his keyboard after lights out. Some how he found it. In the dark. And he managed to turn it on. In the dark. And push the right buttons to get the songs to play. In the dark. I believe that will become a living room toy. Not a bedroom toy.
