Should I really post this? I am not sure.
But here is one reason why not to get caught up on the computer.
I let Rach and Lauren go upstairs to play without the baby and leave Kate to her own devices.
That was my first mistake.
As any Mom knows, a quiet house, is a house of real danger.
I all of a sudden hear Kate OUTSIDE by the side of the house.
I go running.
Kate! Kate! I yell...
She comes running around the side of the house- I've got a mouse! I've got a mouse!
We are beginning potty training so she is diaper-less a bit these days and that is all I can really think of. Naked outside baby.
But when she makes the corner of the house, I see that she has pulled her arms out of her tank top and pulled it down to cover her nakedness like a skirt. (she has been told she may not run around outside without clothes but is free to roam naked in the house, so I am at least thankful for this.)
But she is HOLDING a bunch of my...um....girl items, if you know what I mean, while yelling I've got a mouse, I've got a mouse.
She turns and runs back around the house to a big. fat. rat. being eaten by multiple large bugs.
No, I am not kidding.
The whole dead rat is WRITHING with big bug movement for those of you who are visually inclined.
NOW I am very calmly, but seriously asking her, "Did you touch it, did you touch it??"
Being careful to remain calm because if anyone gets upset around her, including herself, she will not answer.
She says, No I didn't. No I didn't touch it.
So we head in the house with her all the while holding her ITEMS and saying Look Mommy, I've got packages, I've got packages! Then she promptly throws them all down in the house...
I immediately and THOROUGHLY wash her hands while praying she did not pet the cute little mousie, or pick UP the cute little mousie, or KISS the cute little mousie.
I put a diaper on her, gave her an apple and wow, now I am back on the computer.
Something is definitely wrong here. Lol
But I realize that I now really understand the conversation I had with Dear M today about not stopping by un-announced. Had you stopped by at this time, you would have found a dead rat, a naked baby, girl items strewn about the foyer and a Mom slightly disheveled.
Yeah, sometimes the computer can be a BAD thing!

Okay, that is hysterical! I so wish I had stopped by unannounced.
oh my gosh... rolling! when did you or she pick up the... ah... items?
Lucy has a bad habit of getting into the bathroom trash... 'nuf said.
She must have picked them up from the bathroom drawer, NOT the garbage, Lol.
Those stupid beagles that Deb and I got TORE up the trash and every pair of panties that could be found.
Disgusting little dogs.
But Kate just picked found some in a drawer and they all stacked nicely up into something she construed as "packages". You know, men will NEVER understand what we go through as women.
cute story. I could hear you saying "did you touch it?"
oh! I knew it wasn't "used" packages that Kate got into! eww! But Lucy... she's getting the idea though because that's the ONLY time I get mad at her and she doesn't like that. She likes being a good dog... I can tell ;)
that is really very amusing...
yes, a quiet house is a bad sign, even the big kids know now and are constantly saying "oh no, where is maggie, it's too quiet!"
Best blog story of the day!!! Hahahahahaha! I love unannounced visitors - but choosing to live out in the wopwops means I never get any.
