Just life

The other day, I heard Matthew saying this from the bathroom:

Mom! I accidentally forgot what color the toilet was; I forgot it was white and not blue.

He was in there with his brother and he had to pee. We told him it was ok if Preston stayed in there with him…then I realized that Preston was wearing a blue shirt….

Apparently, this is the age that they start making up stories about things! ย  Needless to say, clothes were quickly removed and the bathroom cleaned up as we explained to Matt about the importance of peeing IN the toilet and to Preston the importance of not standing NEXT TO the toilet when someone is peeing in it.ย  ๐Ÿ˜€

I don’t want Matt to think he can’t tell us the truth about stuff; especially stuff that is not important in the grand scheme of things. Obviously (I hope) he didn’t pee on his brother on purpose, so why make up a story about it?

We’re working very hard on getting the boys to ask for things the right, polite way…I didn’t know we’d have to work on the stories thing so soon.ย  Such is life.

Riley seemed to suddenly be making some changes for the better on Friday – following me around, not sleeping so much, wanting to eat all sorts of things, so we put off making the call to the vet.ย  I’m still not sure if he knew of our decision and was happy about it or being spiteful, but unfortunately, he’s not doing so fabulous now. He enjoyed steak night last night, but today? He slept on the chair in the family room for 6 hours straight, then got up to go out, then back to sleep.ย  ๐Ÿ™ย  Mike is going to make the call tomorrow. SIGH.ย  Gonna be a fairly crappy week, I think, with a couple of bright spots.

My Aunt’s visitation is Friday and then her funeral and the ‘celebration of her life’ will be on Saturday. The upside of the whole thing will being seeing my cousins. And M is even going to stay with us!! It will be a short and emotional visit, but I’m so excited for her to stay and get to see the boys and get a chance to relax a little! I know it’ll feel like she’s gone before she gets here, but I am SO excited!

I’m supposed to have dinner out with my buddy Shine on Wednesday…still planning on it, but we may have to reschedule depending on Riley. ๐Ÿ™

And of course, work and preschool and laundry and cleaning and all of that.

Just life.

By the way, anyone know how I can lose like 20 pounds and make my house and car spotless in 4 days?! ๐Ÿ˜‰

I\'m so sorry to hear about Riley. I can\'t imagine how hard that decision would be for your family. The toilet story is just memorable, isn\'t it. Maybe you shouldn\'t put blue shirts on P for a while! And for 20lbs in 4 days – cut off your head and an arm. cut your head off first, though, so you can say you were out of your mind when you cut your arm off! Hope things will start looking up soon.
