One of Those Days

Hmmmm. It has been one of "those days!"

This wonderful Wednesday started out with a scream like I have never heard before coming from Riley's room. I ran and opened the door to find my little child under her dresser. She was trying to get dressed and pulled the entire dresser on top of her. She managed to come out with a few scratches, but something hit her eye pretty good!


Off we head to the mall with my friend Hayley. All went well and injury free at the playground. After lunch we were about to leave and I see my crazy two year old Brooks take off running. He stops...looks at me...puts his hands on in hips...and sings "ha ha ha ha." So, I start walking towards him and he takes off. The mall we were at has a circular food court. So, after TWO loops and no success in catching him I am trying to flag someone down to grab him. Lucky for me he decided to take off down a straighter path into the mall and I can break into a full sprint and catch him. Yes, people...I will be sore tomorrow after my 100 yard sprint. So, then there is the public dilemma. Do I spank him and risk being on the news tonight??? I opted for the punishment behind the privacy of my closed car doors. I did have to hold back my laughter when I told him that I would be so sad if someone took him from me to which he responded "I would just run from them too, mom." In that deep, monotone voice. I wouldn't have been surprised if he added a "duh" to it.

So home we get and have a good afternoon. I am thinking things are ok then I look over to see Cade fall face first into the entertainment center.


Check out that doozie.

I pick up Cade just as my phone rings. It is my insurance company questioning me about all of Brooks' recent head injuries and leg x-rays. Great...I bet CPS will be knocking any minute.
