2005-05-13 21:32:05 ET We lost power today around 4:25 actually right at 4:25 pm that's when the clocks stopped haha. Of course right before then both kids wake up ..ok lemme rephrase that...emilee woke up olivia was told she could get up since goodness forbid the child take a real nap...so we have 2 bored kids on our hands and a mom who is "tired" cause goodness forbid she take our advice and nap when the kids nap. so the first incident happens when olivia brings down their pjs cause they are changing (early mind you) to go to "pa-pa and ma-mas" house. melissa tells olivia to put something up, olivia attempts to con emilee into doing it, olivai throws a fit cause she doesn't get away with that nor does she get away with lying about putting it away (she actually took the time to walk up the stairs then when she got to the bedroom door she just threw it in..umm...about a foot farther and she'd have had it in the drawer where she found it haha). so we get that taken care of and melissa decides (mind you without telling me or saying anything at all) that she's taking a nap. so i asked the kids (nicely ..i swear i wasn't being rude or anything) about 4 or 5 times to go play in the study so their mom could sleep. this goes on for a while then olivia ends up in the kitchen and i tell her to get out of the kitchen, new house rule no one in the kitchen (ok no kids) unless we are eating or they are told they can be there by an adult. so she gets mad cause she's *pouty voice* "huuunnngrrryyy" well five minutes before her mom fell asleep she told her no food til dinner cause a) we have no power to cook anything and b) the only thing she watned was cookies..haha nooope no cookies for you! so she gets mad over that and i finally coax herto come into the living room infront of me, at that time emilee is behind me (standing behind the loveseat, standing between the loveseat and the kitchen) well while arguing backa nd forth with olivia emilee goes back and forth cause i keep telling her to come back to me and she keeps running off when olivai starts whining at me. so she finally comes back around again after being gone...oohh a few seconds maybe. and i see she has something in her mouth (olivia stil whining and crying in the background...mind you her MOM is 2 feet away on the couch and i dont' care how tired you are you can't sleep through her whining) so i jump up an dmake emilee spit out whatever it is, causel ord only knows what she has, and it's ...dun dun dun...blue sidewalk chalk. thoughts going through my head: a) who knows where the chalk has been or whatit has touched b) who knows if this chalk is "child safe" and i dont' have time to check cause she's probably already swallowed some c) SHUT UP OLIVIA! so i grab emilee and run her intot he kitchen to wash out her mouth with water..now she's 2 so i can't just say "go rinse out her mouth" she'll just swallow it all..so i'm panicing over this, and olivia is on the kitchen floor throwing a fit cause i won't feed her cookies. so after i rinse out her mouth pretty good i take her upstairs to brush her teeth cause it's still caked inher teeth..olivia...still on the floor crying. so that was my drama for the day. well most of it, we had to take them home tonight and of course olivia started in cause she knew she was going home with us so she thought she'd try some stuff on our way out. she ended up conning her pa-pa into giving her an apple. now..ok thought process on that was probalby "hey it's an apple it's healthy" but um..side note...hey it's an apple it's kinda sugary...she talked non-stop the whole way home hhaha but luckily went to bed with lil drama. ok i'm done ranting...sorry for the rant... |
