Recipe For a Bad Day
Ξ October 24th, 2008 | → 10 Comments | ∇ Deployment Misadventures |
1. Take one mommy with a cold coming on
2. Add one almost two-year-old who refuses to nap
3. Take family to Barnes and Noble
4. Buy kids nice, sugary snacks, and hot tea for mommy
5. Sit kids down and run to get some napkins
6. Hear kids screaming and panicking.
7. Turn around to see that the baby has spilled the entire cup of hot tea, and it got all over the other kids and their snacks
8. Add several disapproving patrons who only care about the noise level and not the scalded children
9. Mix with one nice woman who buys the kids new snacks
10. Go home and wish you had a husband to put the kids to bed so you could sleep the rest of the evening

Sounds lousy. Wish I was close enough to take your kids for the day so you could rest.

First…are scalded kids doing okay? Next…are you in Hawaii cuz if so, I will come watch the kiddoes so you can take Nyquil and sleep…Last…if not, does DH’s unit have anyone you can call for a break? I know the AF gives young parents with deployed spouses free passes for child care…
PS…kudos to nice lady for having good sense and compassion!

You HAVE to love # 9. Sometimes I stop believing that there are still people like that in this world.
