"Well, now you just earned yourself a visit to your bedroom."
"Oh, great." Short pause. "How long?"
If this is not the epitome of surrender I don't know what is! The way he said it was hilarious and the connotation similar to how I feel. Like, 'oh, great...so much crap to do and I'm the only one to do it. Here goes.'
Well, today I've surrendered to picking toilet paper out of mini-buttocks, wiping snot with my bare hand, to knowing I'm growing day by day more addicted to couponing (43% savings today), almost getting nailed by the garage door 'cause Conrad got a hold of the opener, and taking Chloe back to school because for the 15th time this year she forgot her math homework after I've told her, threatened her, and beat her for forgetting it (not really).
Today's prayer: "Lord, allow me to surrender to the fact these are your children I'm raising. Keep me content in trusting that there is a greater plan for all this stuff that I spontaneously encounter and have to deal with. Help me to have a light heart when picking mini cannonpoops out of buns."
Ha-ha! PS. Seth just yelled that he got Conrad's poop all over his hand! Guess I'm not alone.
Today's 2nd prayer: "Lord, thank you for getting poop on Seth's hand today, too. Perhaps he'll be able to empathize with me and give me a massage after the kids go to sleep. Love you."
Today I picked up what I thought was a piece of lint on the carpet only to discover it was a large bloody hunk of snot!! When I questioned my 6 year old he said he didn't know where to find a Kleenex - and I guess the toilet paper in the bathroom 2 steps away from him escaped his mind! He proceeded to pick up a second piece of "lint" that also had found a home on the floor.
