Soooooooooooo…I’m not going to get the mother of the year award!
My minions decided to build a fort a few nights ago. They used every chair, chip clip, heavy cubby, and blanket they could get their hands on. Viola! A fort!
Today, in my quest to clean the house, I was going to vacuum too. I asked the girls if they were done and if so, gather the blankets. The big kid said she’s done. The little kid said nothing. They BOTH moved the chairs and put the blankets in a pile. It must’ve finally sunk in that the fort was GONE GONE! That little one cried…the ugly cry…for 30 minutes straight AT LEAST! She wrote me a note to let me know just how upset she was. There was no consoling her. “We can’t build another one. It just won’t be the same. Cadence made it perfect. A new one just isn’t the same.” Her life will never be the same. She’s no longer happy. Nothing…will…do! She wants nothing to do with me!
In true mommy fashion, I took to Amazon. A glow in the dark fort with lights will be here tomorrow. It will be interesting to see if she accepts my peace offering. I really just wanted to vacuum…that’s all!
