Here’s a new edition of Did-I-Really-Say-That-Aloud?
Sunday afternoon
William is watching an animal show on TV, learning more facts about aardvarks than any 7-year-old should know.
I am in the time-out chair reading a book. This is minute three of quiet time.
“Mom,” Vivian says. “I need some attention.”
“Seriously? I’ve spent all day with you.”
“Mom! I said I need some attention.”
“Can’t you just look in a mirror?” I ask.
“Seriously, Mom? I. Need. Some. Attention.”
“Okay,” I say, shutting my book gently. “Come here.”
“Hold that thought,” Vivian says. “I have to go to the bathroom.” She sock-sprints down the hallway.
Then she comes back, hops on my lap, and helps me type the conversation into the notes of my iPhone.
Such a sweet convo though!
New to WordPress and loving your chill, hilarious attitude.(with TWINS! 7 year old TWINS)
My Notes:
-why I’m stressed out (so if I forget I can just read the list and remember to stress out, wow. I am deleting this now)
-a shopping list from several months ago
-songs I HAVE to remember to download for ‘excercising’ (Onerepiblic, Adele, Justin Bieber’s ‘Boyfriend’)
I think your mirror was on your lap. 🙂
I can only tell you one tiny page on my iPhone which is currently bursting with ridiculous information pertaining to Tech’s bar mitzvah: “Label the test tubes, create tables, See Stacie about room organization and dance floor. Vegetarians.”
A second page says: New tattoo? And the address of a place to check out. I should delete that and replace it with: Finish WIP.
Your kids are darling 🙂
Bahaha! Love that Viv. My notes section has book and restaurant recommendations, song lyrics, and a friend and I just created a list of things to do and places to go this summer.
Ha! She is too cute! I think the craziest thing I’ve been up to Memorial Day weekend is NOT drinking before 5… I know. My reputation is on the line.
My notes section includes sermon notes, my grocery list, as well as a list of songs I need to add to my “Workout” music (like Muse’s “Resistance”)
Why should you be parent of the year and comedienne of the year both? And you’re definitely comedienne of the year in my book.
I want your twins. Ok maybe not. I’m childless. Only the four-legged variety. At least with them you can leave them locked in house without having the police come get you!
in my notes
D to F sharp. Ah to oh…Do on a Lip roll….more air flow….use edge of paper and vibrate it for more air, thumb behind teeth, silent scream face, Go to a darker vowel on D and up so it doesn’t spread…
If you know what I mean
Take time to appreciate the here and now, and to stop fretting about the past and future. That keeps me pretty busy … but not as busy as if I had twins, I suspect. I hope you all have a great weekend.
My notes section, in my phone, states “jello bones” … I’m not entirely sure who wrote it there…
Right now my notes are on things bacon should not be used for. And also notes on why certain politicians would make good drag queens.
Yeap.
It’s like you can never really “fill” these kids up, these days! Their honesty is refreshing though! 🙂
oooh wow so cute and so sweet…i canot wait to have my own kids…:)
wow. so cute. Here’s a brief list (and so fun … mostly for me)
Period Log (they’re getting weird, what can i say)
Arugula (no clue why i started this list)
Hilton Honors number
So Proud of You (blog idea about why we “can’t” say this)
Gorilla (great Web/video firm in Grand Rapids)
Jack’s birthday gifts from his friends (yet to write thank you’s)
Prayer Requests (it’s getting old)
Return Pants (don’t know which pants)
Joshua (a book Erik told me to read)
My neighbor’s garage door key code
a note my son write to his girlfriend who’s not his girlfriend any more. I’m not sure she ever saw it.
… it goes on
Happy Wednesday!
I let my hairdresser decide my new haircut. That’s crazy enough, right? Considering she’s also planning to dye some locks orange.
The only note in my phone contains a list of songs I should play on my ukulele.
I totally do that, too! Anytime my kids say something weird or ridiculous, I pull up the notes and type it in. Then when I want to write a “Convos with the Kiddos” post (like today) I have all of the recent ridiculousness right there! It’s much easier than how I used to do it, by jotting down notes on little pieces of paper. I was doing it so much, my oldest at one point asked, “mom, are you writing down what I just said?” Oops. Busted!
You and your darling off spring are hilarious.
Notes:
Songs for my funeral (morbid, i know, but when i die, i want it done right, dammit)
