Brain Spillage

Okay here goes. Ready?

Boy, was Noelle was at it today. To be totally honest, she's a really good kid. I normally don't have these kind of days. Maxx woke up early this morning to watch Ellie and let me sleep in. 

How sweet.

Wellll... Maxx comes into the room and says 

"You're really going to hate me." 

I quickly wake up from a dead sleep and say,

"Don't make me punch you in the face." 

Classy.

Well, he walks in with our couch cushion in hand. He said when he went to the bathroom, Noelle used that time and colored all over the cushion with a pen.

g.r.e.a.t

{I am SOOO glad we got our couches treated with that protection stuff.  

Which, in fact I learned when she spilled an entire extra large Cherry ICEE on like half of the couch one very early morning}

I ask why she had a pen, because he knows that in the office she has a "childproof" drawer with crayons. Then I think:

Crap.

I forgot that our friends were staying over last night and were still sleeping in the office/spare room. So to entertain her, he gave her a notepad and a pen.

ugh.

(I did get the pen out later, thank goodness)

Then, not much later, I take note of a quiet moment. 

"NOELLE!!!!"

She was playing in the toilet water. Mind you, she is 15 months old and has never played in/been interested in playing in the toilet water. Why now??

g.r.o.s.s

I rush her to soap immediately.

I went into the office a bit later and remembered our friend's dog vomited on the floor through the night. Of course, they cleaned it up as best they could, so no biggie, but I went straight for the bleach. That's just me. And then, Noelle goes over and started standing in it and saying "tswww, mama." Because she knew it was yucky.  

"NOOOOO!"

disgusting.

{Soap run #2}

I won't even get into the rest of the day. It wasn't as bad but she kept me busy for sure. 

Now, onto my random thoughts... and yeah, they're random.

Notes To Self:

Make more time to pray and thank God for everything he's given.

Spend more time and be present in my relationship with Christ. No exceptions.

Find a food truck and indulge. Can I send someone an email to come this way or something?

Buy a juicer.

Make some bread.

Go to Italy.

Teach Maxx how to speak with an Italian accent.

Continue drooling over/watching "Extra Virgin" (my favorite cooking show with an authentic Italian guy and his fab wife.)

Always close the bathroom door when Noelle is awake.

Always close the door to anywhere I have cleaning product on the floor mixed with (insert gross item here)

Don't put 2 coats of red polish plus a clear coat within a short period of time- even if they appear dry. They will smudge! lame.

Goodnight!
