F is for "fun"
~~~~~
Often what I need more than anything else at the end of a hard day is a good laugh. I tend to take myself and my work too seriously.
I think you should find at least one thing to laugh about every day. Sometimes this might mean laughing at your own mistakes.
Having said that--allow me to give you a laugh at my expense.
This morning was hectic. The children were extra hyper and naughty. One particular little two year old was being a stinker. He kept taking everyone else's toys and being a general bugger. I finally told him to put his nose in the corner--hoping that he would desire to mend his ways.
I went on my merry way doing laundry and homeschooling, all the while having a nagging feeling that I was forgetting something important. Quite a while later I noticed this little lad dutifully leaning into a corner and I thought "what is he doing now?"
Just as I opened my mouth to ask him it occurred to me that I had sent him there. I sheepishly told him he could go play. Good thing I saw him or he might still be standing there.
I don't think I'll be winning "mommy of the year" award today.
So, what made you laugh today? (Besides my silly mistake.)
oh dear all we have these days and you with kids of different ages of course, blessings to you Rebecca!
ReplyDeleteGloria, I'm glad I'm not the only one. :) Mondays are often hard around here. :)
ReplyDeleteYes today is a mess and dont feel well, xxxx
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry Gloria--hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeletethanks dear I hope the same (lol) hope you have a nice day!
ReplyDeleteNothing, yet--I've only been up an hour and no one else is awake yet! Love your story, though. Good thing you remembered before you said something; I usually ask what's going on and somebody reminds me--oops!
ReplyDeleteDear dont forget feel fun sometimes, is really important!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, no pink flowers but a beautiful face - - NICE!
ReplyDeleteSecondly, this made me chuckle... but you usually do.
I bet he wouldn't be a bugger for a long time.
Oh that is funny! The Mister left a boy in the tub and forgot about him,...for an hour! The water was icy and poor boy was shivering. That happened last year....not when he was too little to leave alone in the bath. haha. but still...he felt bad. lol.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I completely agree with you that you must have a sense of humor if you are to be a parent. The ability to laugh takes the edge off of the stress and helps so much. We've started saying "is this blog material?" when some catastrophe happens instead of spazzing out about it! lol.
