Ahhh I am relishing in the quiet...I love my nieces and nephews, but I was not prepared for their visit this week- in other words I did not child proof. I forgot that my house is a new playground of sorts, with new things they have never seen or touched. So touch they did-if wasn't nailed down that is- games pieces everywhere- my trophies-my stuffed animals- the list goes on--- they even ate my favorite fruit snacks that I take for lunch! Simply horrible- oh well what are you going to do- fight it and follow them around everywhere with paper towels and a hand vac? I think not- So the kids play, the adults talk and everything gets put back in its place when they leave....Done! lol- Now if I could only convince my body to take a nap I'd feel as good as new!
Exciting news though--my niece did poo-poo in the potty! How exciting! For me it is exciting because that means its sooner to when there are no more dirty diapers in my trash cans..until I have my own kids, but I will defiantly get one of those diaper trashcans that helps contain the smell...The fresh smell of urine in the morning is something no one should get used to! Ya know I will probably look back at this one day and laugh when my own kids are running around-but for now I get to relish in my clean,semi-organized-peed up diaper free- home! It was nice though to have some one so excited to see you and to watch the silliest things amuse them or make them laugh, if only life was that easy...I do wonder why it's not sometimes that simple- why do we forget that it is okay to laugh at the simplest things or to relish in a job well done? You all know that I feel like we never truly grow up, so why do we lose the child-like qualities that might actually help us survive being an adult? So I challenge you to go outside and look around-sit long enough to see the squirrels chase each other and giggle, or listen to some ducks- and giggle, maybe watch the leaves fall and giggle as if they were tickling you- go out and giggle as something to simply amuse yourself and remember that sometimes we all really do need to act like children.
