Someone posted on Facebook today that parenting is not for the weak. I laughed when I read it becuase that is exactly how I feel tonight. Ryan is off nerding it out at a card game tournament. Too bad we didn't have someone to watch the kids otherwise I'd be there with him. We've been getting into board games lately, and we play almost every night.
Recipe for this dinner (http://shallwecook.blogspot.com/2010/09/tuna-casserole-from-scratch.html)
So I had to quickly leave work this evening to go get the kids so that Ryan could go to his tournament. Both kids were a little sad to leave him and they did not want to stay with me. As soon as I got home I started to make dinner becuase I was starving. I thought, "Hey, I'll put a movie on for the kids too keep them occupied while I finish making dinner." If only it were that simple. Both wanted my full attention, and anything they could think of in the kitchen. I cannot cook with little kids at my feet. Finally they stopped pestering me and were occupied for all of 20 seconds before I heard a loud bang. Next thing I know Ari runs into the kitchen with blood dripping down her face and can barely catch a breath. Finally I got her to calm down enough to hold a rag to her nose. Apparently she was climbing on our ottoman, which was next to the window, and fell hitting the molding. She has a little scratch under her nose, and on her hip. I'm just glad she didn't break her nose, or worse.
Meanwhile, Hunter was being a perfect angel...I only wish. He was throwing balls all over the house, including in the kitchen where I was attempting to make dinner. After countless reminders to stop throwing, and not stopping, he found himself in his room in timeout.
After dinner the kids enjoyed bathtime and I enjoyed getting splashed by water and cleaning up the puddles all over the floor.
Now for some relax time and hopes for a good night rest since I'll be up bright and early in the morning.
