I’m back!!

Its funny, I went away to spend some quality time with myself and to have some peace and quiet. And while I thoroughly enjoyed that, I missed my kids so much. Its crazy how those two can press my buttons until I want to kill them, but the minute I am away from them, I feel so empty. I don’t understand how some people can have children and never want to see them. I can leave mine for a few days, but I now that I am coming back. I could never handle the thought of not being around them to watch them grow and learn.

My chicken pox are gone. All that is left of that lovely illness are some red marks on my chest and neck. And being that I am so pale and have sensitive skin, I’m sure that I will have these beautiful red marks for quite awhile. I also really itched a couple of them, and I’m pretty positive that they will leave a scar. Oh well, I guess I can consider it a souvenier

For my trip I went to Washington D.C. I’ve always wanted to go through The Smithsonian. I’m pretty sure I just spelled that wrong, but nothing else looks correct when I type it out either, oh well I just wandered around the halls and exhibits for a couple of days. It was wonderful being able to have the time to do it and the peace to see what I wanted.

I took Seth to get his haircut this morning. He loves having his hair cut and getting it spiked. Once we were there and he was in the little car chair, he started telling the stylist that when you burp, you say “burpy pants”, and when you fart, you say “farty pants”. Then he tells her that Mama (me) is a bupy pants because I burped really loudly in the parking lot coming in. Which is true, I did do that, but I NEVER expected him to share it with world!! Can you say mortified?!?!?! I wanted to strangle the little blabber! Then he also tells her that our pug, Luna, really farts all the time and that she really stinks. He must’ve carried on a bodily function conversation for about 10 full minutes. The topics that intrigue a 3 year old boy are just lovely Thankfully, the stylist has kids, so she understood and was just laughing and conversing with Seth about all the good stuff. Needless to say, I gave her a really great tip!
