I was a bit of a tyrant today.

I’d like to blame it on the fact that I cannot even think clearly because my head feels like it going to explode. But that really isn’t a good enough reason to snap at the girls every two minutes simply because they couldn’t stop the continual shrieks of laughter.

Needless to say they were in bed before 7:30pm tonight. But before they were shuffled off, there were two conversations that still have me smiling and I just have to make sure to document.

Addie was sitting on the sofa, looked to her left and then to her right as she said, “Did you know that the red-eyed tree frog could look at our TV with one eye and he could see the bookshelf over there (in the back of our living room.) with his other eye! At the same time! Ha…that would be cool wouldn’t it?” And then she sat and did this funny little thing with her head and eyes and tried to see both directions.

Then at dinner Em was eating her tomato soup and she said, “Soup is weird. It is like a liquid, but it is kind of like a solid, too.” Addie pipes up with, “Yeah! It is a ‘lilid!”  And Emma, laughing so hard she could barely get her sentence out, comes back with “No, no! Addie it is a ‘soquid.’  Soup is a soquid!” Which sent them off into fresh new peals of laughter.

Silly, silly monkeys. Makes me so very happy to have a fresh start tomorrow. Head cold or no, I need to make darn sure I don’t end up disappointed in how I treated them at the end of the day again.

And I don’t even want to think how much $$ I owe the Lenten jar today. I think my whole week’s allowance goes straight to the jar.
