Embrace the Horror

Short rundown of today:

  • Lotus informs me that she's "smart enough already" and does not want to continue her education, because her "brain is full and is going to explode".  She then hints darkly that an exploding brain will leave a stain that will render this house unsellable.
  • Gabriel falls out of the shopping cart at Wal-Mart, landing on his head.  He then spends the rest of the shopping trip singing a song about cheese.
  • Jude clearly tells me "no", then crawls off down the hall, laughing manically.
  • Joaquin badgers me at bedtime with 1000 theological questions revolving around who exactly is a prince in heaven.  And what does God's throne look like?  Joaquin determines that God's throne looks like sharks.
  • Ken arrives at work to find a subpoena in his desk.

In other words, a pretty normal day in the life of the Donaldsons...

Okay, here's mine. Good mom that I am, I take the kids to the Catholic camporee today. All day. 8:30 am to 8 pm. At a boyscout camp. I chased Michael. I stopped him from certain death many times. I wore mud, moss, insects. We came face to face with a giant snake. I changed the nastiest diaper ever. Outside. On the ground. Using all the stuff I had crammed into the backpack I lugged around all day. I should be grateful about the lessons learned regarding great American Saints. I am. I really am. But, I am so TIRED it hurts.

Do you see why the great American saints who had missions to wilderness areas all went and got themselves martyred? I'm just saying.
