140 or less.

Sometimes, I feel like people relay too much information. Take my children for example, they always always always always tell me when they are going to the bathroom.

Living in this house is like being on Twitter. The people who live here announce every tiny minute detail of their existence, and sometimes that makes me want to hop a plane to the Caribbean and not come back for a month.

If my children we’re on Twitter…..

“@Mommy, I am eating my bread.”

“@Mommy, I am going to the bathroom.”

“@Mommy, I just saw Andrew punch Zion in the face”

“@Zoe, you’re so funny and adorable!”

“No, @Aidan! @Zoe is my sister!”

“@Andrew, waking mom up from a nap! It’s Lunch time!”

“@Zion, waiting on dad to get home from work. That means it’s supper time!”

“@Mommy, It morning time! Where’s my food?!!!!!”

“@EveryoneWhoLivesWithIn5MilesFromMyHouse I need my button”    Note: A button is Zion’s blanket.

“is tired from a long day of making Mommy think she is losing her mind.”

“Heck yes! Go Diego Go!”

“@Zion, Heck no! Don’t Diego Don’t! We’re watching Barbie Island Princess”

“missing my mom. She walked to the mailbox w/o me.”

“poopin’ my pants”

“waiting on mom to change my diaper”

“refusing to use the potty”

“the potty is for chumps”

I’m Back. ::weeeeeeee::

Aidan has informed me that she needs another sister.

“I’m serious mom, I need another baby sister.”

“No.”

Later that day…

“Honey, did you hear that Aidan would like to have another baby sister?”

“Is she planning on taking care of her?”

“Daddy! I need a baby sister!”

“What if the next one is a boy?”

[ next one!?? What "next one" ?!!!! When he said that, it was like his voice reached God's ear, and instantaneously I became pregnant. I'm not, but it was very very scary.]

“Aidan, why do you need another baby sister? You’ve got Zoe.”

“OK, Look, ” She says, “I need another baby sister to help me with cleaning my bedroom. You’ve been giving me a lot of work in there.”

“That’s just silly, raising children for the purposes of child labor is mommy’s job.”

And then….

This morning, Andrew and I were having a conversation. The conversation ended abruptly when he said two words, “You’re crazy!”

I had to gain composure,  because I will only allow my children to call me “crazy” from the ages of 14 to 18. Before or after that, it is considered disrespectful.

I am sure (I hope) you all missed my blog while it was down. All this server, web host stuff, that I don’t really understand. My friend, Isaac, worked it all out for me. He’s super duper. Well, kind of, he’d be more super if he actually came over once in a while. But I wont go into all that right now.

Glad to have things up and running again.
