it's the night before mother's day... half my clan is gone. chris at poker night and ethan at a sleep over. i'm not saying it's not nice to be just-us-girls, but they are way more work than you can imagine. the problem tonight was that i pulled out the size 4 girl clothes for sophie. so essentially tonight... she got a new wardrobe.
for any of you that actually know my daughter, she is a bit of a girly girl. clothes, shoes, make-up, purses. they are the source of her happiness in life. {i come in at a close 5th.}
pulling out these clothes took me back to all of my memories of emma at that age. it started out as such a nice thing to talk about... until i continually got rudely interrupted a bajillion times by sophilicious asking if she could try this outfit on, or that outfit on. or telling me i wasn't moving fast enough.
i have to include this important detail...
they share a room. a pretty small room. between the tub of 4T clothes and the tub of 3T clothes, two beds, 3 human beings, a couple dressers, a tv, and our dog, it was a wee bit cramped in there. when i get a wee bit cramped and the feeling that i'm being rushed, well.... i turn into someone else.
and what sucked even more than acknowledging to myself that i just ruined our girls' night? the fact that our windows were wiiiiiiiiiiide open. you just never know who hears you... *COUGH COUGH*, vent.
i'm not saying i was cussing like a sailor, or throwing things around, but it wasn't all roses, let me tell you. and to top it all off? seriously, it keeps topping itself off, i know. i'm ridiculous like that. but to seriously top it all off? we were in there with a mosquito... or 6. after an hour in that room we suffered 6 bites between the 3 of us. i never even saw them in there. i hate those things worse than i hate my neighbor's dog that attacked my kids at christmas. that is seriously a lot.
*****
tomorrow is mother's day...
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL YOU MOMS!
i've got to go rub 6 mosquito bites with alcohol pads. i just hope that sophie doesn't decide to scratch them mid-way through the application this time.
YEOWSERS!!
