Tonight, while trying to sound sane talking to my mom on the phone, I was refereeing a dispute between my older two. They were "helping" me fold clothes for the first time and Adam wanted to talk the whole time and Abby wanted to work in silence. So they fought instead(way to go on picking your battles, my loves!). Baby Charley had a freezer pop that had a chunk fall out of the wrapper and onto the floor, so I asked him to go put it in the kitchen sink and tried to break the fight up as calmly as I could while telling my mother what Abby wanted for her birthday present....when I got back into the kitchen, much to my surprise (?), Charley had dumped the rest of the freezer pop onto the kitchen floor and was swimming in the sticky goodness while licking it up gleefully. The fight continued, the mom kept talking, and I just laughed my ass off at the oddity of it all! This is my life. I can't imagine that anyone has it better.
PS Where was Paul you might ask? Helping the neighbor bring in new bathroom cabinets (for the neighbor's house, not ours) through the 2 feet of snow...yet another site I saw as I laughed out the kitchen window while the baby licked the popsicle off the floor.

The Frosty Scoop is my comic relief. You are an amazing mom. God bless you for embracing motherhood and seeing it with joyful eyes. Check out my fav web site twowritingteachers.com. You should consider the weekly Slice of Life challenge.
