Work day?
Posted Oct 23rd 2007by Ebenezer
Last week Gracey had Bronchitis. This week, I’m pretty sure Carter has it. He is home from school today and I have a pile of work to do – real, paying work – which makes for an interesting morning. He is SUPPOSED to be playing in the playroom or watching TV but keeps finding excuses to come into my office. He is not supposed to be doing anything except watching tv or playing in the playroom –
Carter: ooooh! Look what I found, mommy! (holding up a peppermint candy) Isn’t that silly?
Me: Where did you find that?
Carter: I just found it. It was just there. I should probably eat it, huh?
Me: Was it in Daddy’s box?
Carter: Yes, that’s where it was. It’s funny, isn’t it?
Me: No, it’s not funny when you get into daddy’s box.
Carter: Well, I think I should just eat it.
Me: Fine. Just eat it. Stay out of daddy’s box.
Carter: Yes m’am.
a few minutes later…..
Carter: (carrying part of what I think may have been a curatin rod thingy…??? and not wearing a shirt) Uh oh. I broke it.
Me: Where was that?
Carter: in the playroom. I just broke it. It was on the curtains.
Me: hmm….. leave it here and we’ll fix it in a bit. Mommy needs to work.
Carter: Carter needs to play.
a few more minutes go by
Carter: ooooh! Look at this! (holding up a bottle of bubbles and trying to open it)
Me: Stop!
Carter: I just found these bubbles.
My work day is over.
