not so all-star mom moments...

There are those days where you feel like an All-Start mom. Things are going well, kids are behaving, you can acutally be in the grocery store and get through your list. People are looking and pointing out what lovely well-behaved children. For just a moment you think this will go on forever. Perfect.
Then...there are the not so All-Star mom moments. Like today.
1. Hmmm, where's Noah? Why do I hear muffled cried coming from the back hall? Great. There he is, his first TP and it's his own house. We have some learning to do here.
2. Never, and I repeat, never take a phone call. That's just a rule I'm learning. Don't even bother. Today, however, I had to take a call in the other room because kids were playing (loud). They were having a good time too...until...thud----scream---thud---more screams----thud thud------a lot of screams. Find Noah at the bottom of the stairs. Ava histerical in the living room. Besides the rug burn on the side of his head he seems to be okay. Nothing a good snack couldn't cure.

3. Again, not my best day. Why I did this I will never know. The kids were sharing a nice snack of dried apple bites and I left the bag on the table, I thought out of reach. You know the fine dust that resides in the bottom of all such packages? Cereal, dried apple bites, etc. When I came out carrying lunch IT was residing all over my children and the floor.
