Life is Just One Big HA!!

I understand the whole concept of Murphy's Law, I just don't always want to live it.  I have worked my tush off on the kids rooms.  I have conquered the wallpaper monster.  I have looked the evils of the built-in, straight in the eye.  I have laughed at the unsuspected discovery of severe water damage. 

I never would have expected to find what I woke up to on a beautiful Sunday morning.  If I haven't mentioned before my children have a propensity to puking.  lt has been awhile since the puke monster has paid a visit outside of a mode of transportation (our last run in was courtesy of Jet Blue).  I am trying to sleep in on this Sunday morning, or at least til 8:00.  The planets were not aligned, they had a different plan for me this fine morning.

It started with Thing 2 screaming to Thing 1, "get Mommy, she needs to come here".  I hear this thinking, what could possibly be preventing her from getting me herself.  I run through my mental list and none of the options are good.  I gingerly make my way to Thing 2, I am not getting a good feeling. 

I enter the room that I have just spent a week, spackling, sanding, repairing, and painting, only to discover the puke monster and his evil doings.  It is everywhere, I mean everywhere.  I barely glance over at Thing 2 and the fact that she has slept in this situation.  My walls, my baseboards, my god!  Did the exorcist take over my daughters body?  Only a power of evil could have strewn such yuck all over my canvas of spa gray (what I like to call the color of serenity that engulfs the walls).  Through all of my immediate panic and distress Thing 2 is still lying in the decimated room watching Sponge Bob, as if all is well with the world.  Personally I can't imagine what the hell could be so entertaining about a talking sponge that a puke filled room wouldn't bother me.

I guess the same thing that makes it possible for Thing 2 to hang out in her regurgitated palace is the same power that suspends my gag reflex long enough to clean it up.

I think she was able to find inner peace and ignore her puke environment BECAUSE of the spa-grey colored walls. Your goal for peace and calm has worked!

Isn't motherhood so much fun? What can keep you going is the knowledge that one day Thing 1 & 2 will have children of their own, and you will have your revenge.
