And Then My Brain Fell From My Ear and Rolled Out the Door
Tuesday, February 13, 2007
....Supper was finally over. I sat on my new exercise ball at the door to the bathroom supervising the washing up of three ketchup smeared faces. I didn't even have the energy to yell at them that the cup was for drinking from and not for the throwing of water.
Their chatter, their chitter. Non-stop* since eight this morning when Blue Boy woke me up with "Braghhakshfa9i2wrfhakd. Mommy I frew up on your floor. I gots to frow up again." And again and again. And then? Fine. WTF is with that? The forty five minute flu?
I turned to JitteryJoe and said "Right now, at this time in my life I would pay 500 bux for five minutes of silence."
As he tries desperately to kick the ball out from under me, Rainbow Man joins the conversation. "I didn't know we had five hundred dollars. who would we pay?"
"We don't have it, I was planning on selling you to get the money"
Oh well then you wont need the money 'cus I am the one who cant stop taking ever and I would be gone and then..will you go to Disney world with the money instead? We can sell Blue Boy. Or Tigger. and blah blah blah....... I stopped listening after a few seconds. . .
. . . And entered into a wonderful daydream of decadent proportions. Oh No! That Hot dude over there just dropped his towel! Oh look! His twin... Are those strawberries he has? Oh yummy dipping chocolate!Is that a paint brush? Well what do you know, they are headed my way...
And then of course, RM managed a successful kick against the ball and it went flying down the hall. You wanna kiss my bum all better? Didn't think so. Why Don't I get a pirate bandaid for MY booBoo's?
It seems my mother in law has spoilt me. I enjoyed getting out now and then with JJ, but I hadn't realised that my very sanity was dependant on it.
They get home in eighteen days. If I take away the hours the kids sleep at night (12), that's only nine days from now.
* I can't stress enough how many words two two year olds a seven and a four year old can use in one day. By three thirty I turned the volume up as loud as it would go on my laptop and pretended I could not STILL hear them talking/yelling/squealing in the background. How can they possibly talk this much and NOT lose their voices? Send me ear plugs. Please.

I will, Blue. My story will be up sometime this week. He will be gone 7 years on the 15th of this month.
I have the perrrrfect idea for you. I owe you some things!
One day they will be all grown up and gone...the house will be quiet...( Im not sure you will still want to get on that exercise ball) lol. Enjoy them Blue....just get a good pair of earplugs for days like this! ;))
Computers are wonderful. I got me head stuck in one once.
All Moms need a break sometimes!
Braghhakshfa9i2wrfhakd? Wouldn't it just have been easier to type ralph?
Everyone needs a few child-free hours (days?). Little people require a lot of energy.
I remember those days... just breathe, & continue the countdown!
Shelli You are damn right you owe me something. One large smile. And maybe a belle video
Catch Some days I dread that, Somedays I want it NOW
Mr.Fab Its ok, I have delt with feces smeared faces before.
Annon Who are you? Will you be My friend? I like making new friends. Are you going to kiss my bum?

Blogarita nope, mashing the keyboard is always easier, plus its loads more fun. Sometimes you get satanic messages when yo mash the keyboard.

God Bless You, woman. Take thee self off to thy store for a case of scotch. Or whatever self-medication you need!
Ole Blue Actually, last night after the kids went to bed and jittery went to the airport to get his sister, I turned off the tv and just relished the quiet. Heaven.
Kathrine Chocolate :o) thats my medicine,and also why im on this stupid diet. Sigh
I read your story ... very sad - and of course I teared up over it... QUIT - you can do it!!
I understand the noise level of three little guys and all the energy in the world...makes you wish it was 75 degrees out and you could just send them outside to run.
I've seen the affects of chemo, but have never dealt with loosing a close loved one...
I'm glad you are taking the measures to help prevent you wonderful beautiful little boys from going through the same thing you went through.
This month has got to be tough one for you but you'll get through it I know... just remember this...
How do you eat an elephant?
One bite at a time...
XOXO
