Sound Bytes: I Kicked Him in the Eye On Accident




Has anyone else had to deal with statements like that this week? 

Here are some sound bytes from our week so far:

"I kicked him on the eye on accident," yelled Shopgirl in desperate attempt to erase the one millionth entry from the Hurt Hulk Boy Again Hall of Fame.

Sigh.

There's a lot of sighing that goes on in motherhood, I've found.

It's time to head out the door.  All kids have miraculously found their boots, coats, hats, and gloves AND have put them on their bodies (be still my heart) and then comes that last-minute statement:

"Where is my Star Wars shirt?  It's Star Wars night at our after-school program."



Really?  You couldn't have mentioned that yesterday, or even this morning perhaps? 
If you asked 5 minutes ago, we could have dug through your shirt drawer and threw something on. 
Time's up.  Sorry - what you have on will have to do.  We're late (again!).  Let's go!!

Sigh.

We've had all morning to complete school, but because of foot-dragging and procrastination, Art Girl's last subject has not been completed.  I explain that, because she hasn't finished and it's time to go to an all afternoon and evening church activity, she will have to have homework!!  She cried at the injustice of it all

Sigh again.

What do you call it when a homeschooler takes work to complete elsewhere?  Not-at-homework?  Away work?  It's kind of funny once you start thinking about it.


First orthodontist appointment.  "Mom, what's headgear?"

Biiiiig sigh.

We're going to have to threaten Shop Girl and Hulk Boy within an inch of their life to keep the fun-making at bay.  At least she'll only have to wear it at night.  It's only 12 months.  It's only 12 months.  We can do this.




One step at a time

One day at a time

Breathe in...breathe out

And the week rolls on!
