It has been a little bit since I posted about Thing 2’s shenanigans. Not that there were no shenanigans, but I have not had the time to post about it…until today!
So, yesterday was a big day. My mom had her first radiation session. For the first session, the Doctor took x-rays. In addition, my mom met with the Nutritionist and Social Worker. So, the first session took a little longer that it would on a normal day. My father and I had a good talk in the car about what the next 6 weeks will look like and his health. See, he has been forgetting about his priority #1…himself. I told him, you won’t be any good to her (my mom) if you are not okay yourself! I am sure that statement went in one ear and out the other, but I did my part in saying it! #OldPeople! #MEN!
I had to take the rest of the day to relax on the couch. I have these days sometimes where I need to let the rest of the world be, and I need to just be too. It was nice. I didn’t want to skimp on my workout, though, so I made sure I carved out time for it.
Working out with my BFF is always a good time. We have to improvise, living in different states and all. FaceTime has been our go to and we have been going strong for at least a couple of months now. The girls typically join in and even give us some new workouts (Thing 1 just wants to hear me say Uncle and Thing 2 just wants me to break something!). My mom even participates and when she’s able, gets her workout in too. Yesterday, we had a new guest…the hubby! I guess he finally got sick of me whipping this body back into a decent shape he had to catch up! #ICrackMyselfUp #ActuallyItsJustHisDoctorsOrders
We made it through the arm workout and had moved to abs. Thing 2 decided to paint instead of working out, so she was sitting in the kitchen messing up my table. I must’ve looked up from my nice, cushy yoga mat about to continue hitting these abs up and saw what I thought were ketchup stains splattered across the ceiling…right…above…the table…
I rose up, abs all tight and locked from the workout, and looked to get all of the questions in my head answered. #How? Why? #When? #HowDidINotHear? #WasAnyoneGoingToSayAnything? I see Thing 2 coming back from the bathroom with a red substance dripping from her hair, down the side of her face…just dangling! Turns out, she couldn’t get the tube of red glitter glue opened and SQUEEEEEEEZED!
My husband must’ve got up, mad, and all I heard was “Thing 2, you ain’t gone say anything or get anybody?” Thing 2, “I was trying to clean it off of me.” I did what any intelligent, responsible, strict, no-nonsense, clean-up-behind-yourself parent would do in this situation…I looked at the ceiling and looked back at my kid and I LMFAOd! Like, hurt the abs even more, bust a gut, almost shart, OMG it hurts laugh! The hubby and I pride ourselves on having a united front against these kids when it comes to discipline. But the Lord knew I needed this, so the hubby just had to excuse me. I have this very moment a time or two per year. It’s what I call, My Mother of the Year Moment! #Hey #NobodyGotHurt #ExceptTheCeiling #TurnsOutItDoesntHaveFeelings
These kids give me LIFE! I birthed them, but somehow they managed to give me the life I never knew I wanted AND NEEDED! #MyPurpose #MyLoves #MyPoorCeiling
What a great end to such a big day!
Just a side note, the wall did pretty much come clean…with a few specks of glitter left behind for the memories. #LeaveYourTrail #MakeYourMark #2021Memories
