The finale...

I am happy to report that today has been very low-key Lila-wise. Which is really good, because frankly I couldn't imagine what was left for her other than something needing medical attention or involving fire. And if she had needed medical attention today I am not sure that anyone would believe that it was an accident...

Today being a Thursday was also good for my sanity because it means Knit Night and three hours off for Mommy. And I think we can all agree that it was very needed this week. I had a great time and was even almost all relaxed until I got in the car to drive home. I called Bri to tell him I was on my way and he answered the phone, "Hello-p!"

"Um... was that hello or help?"

"Both. Mostly help."

It seems that my five year old who is always playing a game of chicken with her bladder finally lost, and I was needed to help with the clean up.

So much for a relaxing night off...

I'm just happy your not reporting from a padded room!

you have had a week for sure. Here in the South, we would say that Lila is going through the phase called "begging for a beating"...I drew on the walls as a kid...and my brother did the 'write-on' job of all jobs. We lived in a brick house..he took his crayons and held the tips against the wall and walked around the house. not just once, but 4 times. talk about rainbow! they say we do stuff to get attention, any attention, good/bad..just attention. Advice given to me years ago, and worked with my son...Children want rules. Now they will always test the rules, that's their job, they are kids and are growing/learning. It's our job to hold the rules and make sure there are consequences and repercussions for crossing the line. as long as you and Brian have a united front, you'll do fine and the kids will be fine! God's blessings to you!

I would take a pee emergency any day over Lila's other antics. But still, no rest for the mommies.
