ODE TO NAPTIME

Its 12:30 and time for a nap
you fuss and fight and fall asleep in my lap

you want a bottle and your sister tv
I fetch your bottle and get you settled so sweet

your sister picks a christmas movie and falls asleep in my bed
so I change the channel and watch my soap thats been haunting my head

2:00 rolls around and my soap is done
my stomach is growling and thats no fun

I hit the computer to window shop
check my email and my blog and now its 3 o clock

still not awake and Im getting pretty bored
now Im shopping for things I cant afford

still hungry I might add as I sit here and wait
but dont want to cook anything to disturb this peaceful day

oh 315 and your sister starts to stir
Im ready to eat lunch, this hunger I cant ignore

I hear a little noise coming from your room
I guess quiet time is over and OH YES daddy will be home soon!!!

When it rains.....it pores:)

So here I am visiting the great town of wenatchee- great friends good family and two children! A two year old and a 6 week old. Never have I traveled this far ( 2 1/2 hours) by myself with them and the trip there- fantastic!! Well on the way home I was stopped by a road crew blowing up rocks- 20 minute delay- okay, so we wait the twenty minutes. We pass the flagger and of course it has been 2 hours since I fed the newborn so its time to eat she screams- we make it to the rest stop and POW its closed, so we pull over! Then in the middle of feeding my two year old yells POTTY MOMMY, POTTY MOMMY- great- I say. So I give her the option to go outside- NO WAY so I say " lets put on your sisters diaper and just this one time you can go in a diaper" NO WAY aaaaaaaaaaaa- what do I do...well, there is a fruit stand up the road! So we hop in the car, get to the fruit stand and I plead my case- YES they say, you can use the toilet!!!
okay, I think we are good to go...but of course we get behind three truckers!!!
So long story short our 2 1/2 hour trip ends up taking us almost four and we make it home to a loving husband and father and a batch of peanut butter cookies from the neighbor!
I guess there is always a rainbow at the end of a rainstorm- HUH?
