What should I do today?
How about babysit the whole neighborhood??!! Well, I guess it's not the whole neighborhood and I guess I'm not officially babysitting..nobody asked me. So if one of them cuts off a finger or breaks an ankle here I am not responsible. I have had a mix of 5-7 kids playing in my front yard all morning..or front of my house...or off and on in the backyard...or 3-4 (these numbers are "besides" my own boys) in the actual house part, checkin out the latest designs on the cars my boys drive in one of their Playstation games. I guess no one needs their kids home today on Mother's Day. Or maybe they all knew my husband was away and wanted to share the love. Why don't I tell them to leave? I don't know. I can't figure out my brain. They are having fun. They are alive and free and abounding. They're not hurting anything. I think in a way I embrace all the fun commotion because this is how I want my boys to grow up. You know.. with lots of other kids to play with everyday. Adventures. This is kinda sorta what I dreamed of for my Thing 1 and Thing 2. These extras are mostly over the age of 7. Mostly means there are 2 kiddies here that are 6 and 4 and I have no idea why their parents haven't checked on them the whole 3 hours they've been down at my end of the hood. And soon.. Right about now I'm going to tell everyone to get away and let me not have to subconsiously worry anymore about the hose being on, leaves being taken off my tree (i cherish my leaves), worms and dirt being strung all over my front stoop, or worry about anyone getting hurt, heaven forbid. So this is the end of my rant. I have been hiding all day in my imagination pretending I'm on vacation in Moab at a huge family resort.For Mother's Day this year I got 7 new children!!!!!!!!! Yay! Oh yay!
