Many are aware of the grand tradition Kyle started a few years back: Birthday Week! I thought I would briefly touch on what the forces of nature had in mind while hubby was away to get me in the mood for Birthday Season!
Day #1: Drop hubby off at the airport and drive home in rush-hour traffic. In a thunderstorm. With 2 cranky kids. We had a party.
Day #2: Lock keys in car at pool. Wait 34 minutes for police woman to tell me it's impossible to get in my car. Walk home 2 miles home with two kids in tow. Call emergency roadside. Locksmith opens car in 0.3 seconds flat. Whatever policewoman.
Day #3: Crazy man rams his van into my front yard and takes out 3 trees (one was a liliac--waaah!). Recycling bin is run over and crushed. Crazy man runs away and leaves van in yard.
Day #4: Leave the house in plenty of time to arrive at church on time. Arrive late. Dang train.
Day #5: If I told you I would have to kill you. Just follow the trend of the week so far and make up something in your head. It's probably close.
Day #6: Wake up at 3 in the morning to my 4 year-old poking my face whispering he had an accident "like Savannah" --- Translation: poop. All down the legs. Ew. Ew. Ew.
Okay, so really I'm just trying to be all dramatic about the excitement that happened this week. This week has just been one laugh after another. I honestly have to say the time flew by and before I knew it we were picking up Kyle at the airport again. How come he gets to be gone for all the fun anyway???!
Speaking from experience, I can wholheartedly testify that attitude plays such a significant role in your level of happiness with life. Really the entire key locked in car thing was pretty funny. I just felt like a moron. Cade was an awesome sport walking uphill both ways. I am grateful to the police officer for attempting to help me out of the goodness of her heart, even if she couldn't get me in. Yeah, and the guy running into my trees. That was pretty funny, too. Poop, however, is never funny and I still think it's gross. Why wouldn't I be woken up to clean up poop in the middle of the night?!

wow what a week.When it rains, it pours! The policewoman didn't even offer to give a mom and her 2 kids a ride home? What's up with that!!!!
It can only get better, right??? That's what I told myself when I was laboring with Luke -- oops I guess it can get worse :-) Just remember you have a package waiting for you when you get there tonight. I'll even let you open it early if you want to!
I know where you're coming from- we just barely potty trained Aubrey. She didn't have a ton of accidents, but a couple of poop ones were enough for me, thank you very much. Soooo gross! Sounds like a fun week. I enjoy reading your blog!
hooray for birthday week! also...isn't cade too big for that? haha. hope your actual bday week is much much better and sans poop :)
I woke up this morning and thought it's July 17...it's Michelle's birthday. I love you hunny! Happy Birthday!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! Sounds like a fun week. I actually had my keys locked in my car once and the policeman got his tool stuck in my door. We ended up having to call a lock smith, same thing, had it open in zero seconds, all the while telling the police man what a moron he was and why don't you just let us lock guys do our thing. As for the tool that got stuck...I had to drive the car to Randy and have him take the door apart and then drive the tool back to the police station to return it to the officer. It was lots of fun!
Hope you have an AWESOME birthday!!!!!
Wow Michelle! What a week!!! I am so sorry, maybe Kyle will add extra birthday happiness to make it even better! I think it is great your so positive, that is how I try to live my life too!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHELLE!!!!
