Since we last met, Claire knocked over a recliner onto Gabe and gave him a bloody nose. Just desserts, I say. Gabe sat in a pile of ants and looks like he has a pox. That makes me a little sad. He certainly doesn't deserve that. Fortunately, he has a very high pain threshold, so he doesn't complain about the mass of pustules all over his leg and arm. Gabe took off his diaper and stood on the couch in order to pee. After he peed on the floor. Of course, the floor is concrete, but I still have a pee-drenched towel to wash. Claire has had the mother of all fits wherein she kicked the crap out of the wall and screamed at the top of her lungs how much she doesn't like me and that she thoroughly hates 2s. (We were practicing writing our twos at the time. By practice, I mean she actually sat on her hands and refused to write any 2s.)
THE FOLLOWING IS THE PART THAT SOME WILL FIND OFFENSIVE
Charlotte got sick and is home from school today. The upside to this is that I got a fancy new ear thermometer. The disposable covers look like tiny little condoms, so I get amusement every time I take her temp (101.3).
OFFENSIVE PART OVER
Other than that, well, nothing I guess. I just sit on the couch reading and waiting to follow Gabe as soon as he leaves the room. He's under marshal law. See y'all later.
The chair that hit Gabe. You can see his diapered butt in the background climbing onto the couch. Probably to pee. You can see the concrete floor that he peed on. You can also see the state of my house, but that doesn't bother me so much.

Your comment about Dog was more offensive than that small blurb about condoms.
Were you laughing while Claire was throwing that fit about 2s b/c it sounds hilarious. Maybe I should teach her a song she can sing to reinforce her hatred of 2s. It could go something like this,
I hate wriiiiting twoooos,
I hate wriiiiting twoooos.
I know how you feel. I have so been there. I love you girl. Claire's tantrum sounds hilarious. You should have taped her so we could witness it.
I so did not find any of that offensive, just hilarious! I love kids and their tantrums and I love that Gabe peed of the floor - at least he peed somewhere besides his diaper which is more than I can get Hannah to do!
I stand corrected: Claire's fit is the daughter of all fits. Charlotte threw down the mother when the nurse swabbed her nose today. UN.BE.LIEVABLE.
"I hate naaasal swaaaabs!"
You made me laugh and nothing you could ever say would I find offensive - but I am me and just posted a photo of my bloody IV on my blog - so I might not be the best judge of these things ...
I'm a little disappointed that I wasn't offended!!! Try again!!! :)
Oh my goodness. I can only imagine Gabe standing peeing off the couch. Crazy kid. Atleast it wasn't carpet! And crazy Claire she is such a diva. What's wrong with twos? Personally, they are one of my favorite numbers to write ;) Hey I'll be at church on Sunday. Jen is getting her patriarchal blessing :D :D
is the thought of a condom offensive???
Hm.
I hope that the sickness clears your house soon and that Gabe stops peeing on everything!!!!!
Oh my.. poor Gabe and the ant bites.. that is the pits. And I also hope the sickness passes fast.. it seems to be going around right now, ick. Tantrums are funny cuz they don't work well for the kiddos... kicking the wall, that probably hurt! Also, no offense taken here.. it's was hilarious :)
peeing off the couch??? i would have come unglued! but i'm with everyone else, claire's tantrum sounds hilarious!
en-humored (is that a word?) but not offended.
Who finds this offensive? I just think its a bad day in the life of a mom. Sorry about all of the peeing! Boys really are gross huh? =o) Love you!
You're going to have to work a lot harder than that for me to get offended. Like if you said you hated Payday candy bars. Them's fightin' words.
We should get Gabe and Katherine together! With the gash on her face from some nursery kid (who bash her in the head with a car) and her similar talent for taking off her diaper, they are a perfect match!
And hello??? Where are you?
I miss your posts and I'm beginning to get a little concerned that you might have actually crawled to Mexico...
I wish, Court. I sooo wish. You saw Sunday.
Hey folks. I'm glad no offense. I actually didn't think condoms would be offensive. I just thought there might be a couple of readers who, unprepared, might be like, "Oh! Well! Something I could do without." Drawing an inordinate amount of attention to it just aided in trivializing that. Clever, no?
Besides, tiny ear condoms are priceless comedy fodder.
ooooh you said a dirty word!...condom. ps. we used to laugh at the ear thermometers at the hospital where I worked because we'd call the little covers for them "ear condoms"...well, that IS what they look like! anyway, good for you for surviving another week. I'm thuroughly proud to know you!
ps. again...maybe I should have used a disclaimer in some of the things I say on Facebook, cause I think your sister, Sarah must have taken offense to something I said on there...it appears as though she reported/blocked me from her page.
