WHY?

March 5, 2007 · 6 comments

Why is now Matt’s favorite question.  Today, I am going to run screaming from him at some point.

Argument #1 for running away screaming:

  • Mom, can you take out the trash, it’s smelly.
  • Of course, honey. It is pretty stinky, isn’t it?  [mama takes the trash out of the can. before said mama can get a new trash bag, boy is demanding a new one be put in. grrrr. mama takes previously mentioned stinky trash down to garage, as she goes down the stairs, boy can be heard asking:]
  • Mom, why are you taking that out? 

Argument #2:

  • [Dog peed on the floor twice for no apparent reason] Mom, why did Maggie pee on the floor? Why are you cleaning it up? Why is she peeing on the floor today?
  • <DEEP BREATH> I don’t know sweetie.
  • But why?
  • ARRRRRGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

😀

Who needs endorphins, anyway?

I (finally) finish 30 minutes on the treadmill (incline 6, speed 3.2 for those of you keeping score at home) and attempt the Bowflex workout set.  In the midst of both workouts, the dog keeps stealing wooden railroad tracks, wood blocks and generally makes a pest out of herself.  The boys, on the other hand, are good today, until I’m almost done, then Preston hits his mouth and needs MOMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.   So, I calm him down, finish my last set and then come upstairs to pee all over the floor.  Stinky pee.  Chase the dog outside, clean up the pee, get the boy some juice and step in another puddle. In the midst of all that I’m answering WHY questions and yelling at the dumb dog.

Any good chemicals coursing through my body were squashed down by urine.  And questions. And tears.

Why did I exercise again?  😯

No luck on the potty front again today.  One good day (Saturday), the excitement of Spongebob and Bob the Builder undies (Sunday), no desire to use the potty (Monday).  Honestly, today, I just don’t care.

Yesterday Matt asked me why it’s winter. I went into a long, detailed explanation of the tilt of the earth’s axis and the sun’s general proximity to the earth and so on and so forth. All I needed were 27 8×10 color glossy photos with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one.

Upon finishing, pride in myself for the completeness of my answer, he looked at me and said, “But why?” :grumble:
