Mom Ramblings #12

I had a furniture post scheduled today, but I had a No-nap Monday incident that must be addressed. So, you'll just have to wait to see the transformation of a sideboard...

1. Nap-time at our house is mommy-time. You know, projects, laundry, shower (didn't happen...rarely does. Sorry to my friends that hang out with me), curling up with a good book (just bought 'the short second life of bree tanner')...today, I tried. But while I tried to do some laundry, fix the car before we sell it, paint a couple of chairs I got at a flea market for five bucks each, and some other random things the boys decided to do this to each other:

Don't they look fantastic! They said they were wrestlers and had to draw all over each other. I guess they needed a black pen for that. They also took hair goop and rubbed it all over their window and opened our "black box" full of all of our important papers dumped them out and filled the box full of water that was in the guest room (from when my Dad was here, for his CPAP machine, I know, TMI, but people would wonder why I had water in the guest room!). I usually try and laugh this stuff off, but bad mom came out. I yelled. It happens. All good now. I'm pretty sure I had a vein burst in my temple and dragon lady came out. Needless to say they got consequences...their brand spankin' new scooters that they were rewarded for filling up their marble jar with good behavior....gone....until Sunday....it actually made me sad to take them away...

2. The other day in Target the boys were fighting and I made them walk around Target holding hands. They were not impressed. In fact, Porter was mortified. It was awesome. I giggle thinking about it. Tom made them do it yesterday, it worked like a charm. They stopped fighting and worked it out.

3. I need this dress... All the problems of the world will go away if I have this dress...

4. Training for the Chicago Marathon started today. Today is a rest day! Yippee. What a way to start my training. Sure wish my knee was better. I'm frustrated and angry at my old lady body.

5. This would also make the entire world a happier place...in my world anyway....cause it's all about me, remember?!
