Enter at your own risk

If you have been to my house this calendar year then you have seen the green sticky man on the ceiling in the living room. It always makes for interesting conversation as I forget about it being there until someone says, "Do you know there is something stuck up there?"

My response always is #1 threw it there. Not a lot else has to be said if you have ever met my oldest son. God love his creative brain that is nothing like mine. I told him not to and I wouldn't retrieve it but he did it anyway. It fell about 3 months later only for him to promptly throw it again. There enlies the stupidity of boys!! Seriously, he really didn't get that it would stick again? It is no wonder men are so frustrating!

Anyway, yesterday I offhandedly left these sticky hand/shape items within reach before I headed to work yesterday. I went straight from work to the circus and got home at 11pm. As I sat down to go to the bathroom I glance about and my eyes stops on something green and gooey like on my bathroom ceiling. I realize what it is, and today manage to see 3 others in various places in my house. Great is all I can think. It will be like a scene from poltergeist (which I haven't seen) when they fall. I envision it being night time, little to no moonlight too. In the dark any given person is walking about and it lands on someone's head, then screaming commences with body flailing in an attempt to remove the unknown item attacking said person's head. Whoever is lucky enough to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Everyone will have forgotten about the items so all or part of the household will flock and belly laughter, rolling on the ground unable to move because the tears are blinding reaction follows.
It is either that, or plain daylight bare feet squishy step and screaming, hoping in order to not step on it again takes place. A child refuses to touch it for fear it is some poisonous bug and the surely will die. I won't be able to contain my laughter and they will cry consequently scarring them for life. Everyone else will laugh too, said child will stop away feeling silly and mad at us all.
I am thinking it will be best just to say enter at your own risk, and helmet please when visiting from now on! LOL!!

Talking is fundamental

Image
6 people live in this house of mine. Most days there is plenty of space for everyone to move about separate of another. The outdoors is 10 acres of mostly wide open space for freedom. The one thing there is not enough of is quiet. #1 can talk your ear off and then some. He continues to read and reread his Titantic book, quizzing his siblings and myself. I really don't understand how Daddy misses out on the quizzes but some things may never be understood. The only way I get quiet is to allow electronics. I will admit that I have done that more than once to ensure a moment or two to think, better yet not think. Since #2 and #3 are playing ball this summer he keeps saying he is going to play next summer. Poor thing feels left out of the hustle and bustle. I am not so sure he would enjoy the pressure to perform but we shall see. #2 can talk as she chooses but is easily engrossed in her writing or reading. Conversations with her are based on real life events, or thoughts about futu...

Ugh!

My husband has this cough, ANNOYING cough which appears to have absolutely no purpose in life. I must endure in silence because I am pretty sure he wouldn't do it if he could help. Yet all I can think of is the last time I tried to be politely quiet which back fired. Stop me if you have heard this story, or well skim ahead. :) I was awaiting the birth of #2. It was night and I was 9 cm dilated. Although this was my 2nd full term child, it was my first real labor with #1 being a breech c-section. The time approached 9pm and the thoughtful well practiced nurses encouraged me to "get some rest" before I was to push. You never know how short or long pushing turns into so I readily agreed (the epidural making it possible to think about relaxing in the first place). All (as in the 4 other people) were kicked out of the room but hubby decided to come back. I suppose his concept of not leaving me completely alone was well intentioned but what took place was far from helpful. I ...

Valentines, Boys and food

Last night all 3 big kids sat with me on the little couch reading books. One of them was called will you be my valentine. Michael asked what a valentine was and as I was explaining about "boy" friends and boy friends/ girl friends and "girl" friends. Annabeth then says so you and Daddy knew each other when you were kids. I tell her no and she gets confused. She asked some more questions suprised to hear that Daddy wasn't my only boyfriend. She asks if I kissed the other boys and I hestitated but said yes. She asked how old I say when you are 16 you might kiss a boy, HA! Daddy chimes in and says more like 20. All the kids yell at him because he usually does add something to tease with. Annabeth then covers her mouth and says I am NOT going to kiss a boy. Jan 1st 2010 we were heading to eat Chinese. It was 10:30am. Joey said I haven't eaten breakfast. I said well you should have done that before we were leaving can't you wait. He said nothing so I left t...
