This is great!

Below is an e-mail my husband wrote in reponse to a co-worker on how his day was going.. I had some business to take care of today, so this was the first time daddy was at home, alone, with the children - he was here alone with them for around 4 - 5 hours...I was terrified but now just impressed...

FROM THE DESK OF DADDY:

AlliT left at 08:00 and at that instant a fear washed over my entire being and I began to tremble. Then something miraculous happened. ....WT began to smile. As my nausea began to dissipate, I began to baby talk with him. We had a rather invigorating conversation. After that ended he decided to take a nap at 9:15.

This is my chance; I washed the dishes and straightened up the front room. I don't think I need to remind you that I did this in absolute silence, much like the Ninja's of Japan. After an hour and a half nap, the finicky monster arose from his slumber and demanded attention. After a quick diaper change, all was well, and at this point no crying for almost 180 minutes. Maybe there are higher powers at work.

After some bouncing and swinging Mr. WT decided it was time to test the waters. At 5 minutes to 12, the low rumble of discontent started. With a mighty crescendo, it climaxed at a ear piercing, blood curdling scream along with very impressive water works. Dad quick to handle any task, scooped the young T baby up, and began to tell lies and compromises' trying to stop this mental anguish.

To everything holy and mighty, only after 20 minutes of crying, the young Prince falls into a deep slumber and lays his precious little head on the couch and falls into a content sleep.

As a small tear falls from my cheek, I realize I have escaped another episode of "How long will your baby cry."

I love how daddies have no clue how much hard work being a SAHM is!! :-) I feel justified.

Things I love that I am ashamed to tell...

First of all I was inspired to write this blog post after indulging myself in a not so grown up movie... While watching it I realized that I am no longer a child and watching such nonsense is now just a guilty pleasure..
Move in question... The Princess Diaries... I know.. Kid movie, 'bout becoming princess, blah, blah, blah.. but I just so happen to love this movie. Maybe it is because all little girls while going through that award stage of life, known as teenangstwishiwoulddieandneverbeseenagain, *wish* that some unknown relative, of royal descent no less, would come and scoop you up and fulfill all of your childish dreams.. Sometimes I still wish that would happen.. No more bills, wishing of exotic vacations, poopie diapers to change, meals to cook, rooms to clean......... AAAAAAAAAhhhh the life... Right?!?.. So here are some silly childish self indulgences... (Well at least the ones I am willing to fess up to!)
- Silly girl movies (aka.. The Princess Diaries(one and two), Pretty Woman, just a couple, you can fill in the blanks with your own lovies)
- Freezer Pops (Cheap and delicious - I have had 4 already today - Fav color: Pink of course)
- Not showering (Although I like showers, being a stay at home mom is just not conducive to showering - Sometimes I forget, ok... and I justify it by saying I didn't go anywhere the past 3 days, so I am not dirty right??)
- Eating grapes before they are purchased (refer to my archives please)
- Blowing bubbles
- Eating cotton candy
- Drinking lots and lots of soda
- Acting stupid in public ( I am still kinda shy about this but at least I have children - and a husband - I can point my finger at thus clearing myself of aforementioned silly acts)
- Getting dessert after every meal eaten out / or at least ice cream (It is also convenient to be preggers)
Oh well I am fresh out of other things but I am sure I will think of some more.. Or be reminded by my husband about all of the other stupid things I like to do, so maybe my list will grow....
