so, you all know i do daycare. i watch little ones all day, all week. they're hilarious little people. i know some days grate on my nerves and we all have moments. but i will say one thing. i laugh more than ever with these kids. half the time, i'm laughing at my own funny-ness. is that a word? it is now. and i know that i really am funny. because they tell me i am. "wauwra, you're so funny". i hear that a lot. "wauwra, you're so crazy". i hear that a lot too. they say what they hear. and i'm always telling them that they're craaaazzyyyy!
the other half of the time, i'm laughing at them or the crazy things they do. like the things they leave around the house, as they're going thru their day. they pick stuff up, they play, they drop that stuff where ever they happen to be when they spot something better. i find a lot of interesting things in interesting places. play food in the kitchen towel drawer. an entire puzzle dumped in the diaper basket. cars lined up on the kleenex box in the bathroom. books on the floor in the laundry room. dollhouse furniture in the nooks of the couch. crayons under the seat cushions in the kitchen. you get the drift.
so this afternoon, i got haley up from her nap and was snuggling with her on the couch while we waited for nikolas to wake up. the tv was on and we were watching the "wonder pets". you know, the episode where the little doggie has to pee really, really bad. but he can't figure out how to get out of the house. so the wonder pets come to his rescue and brainstorm a way to get him outside. they finally realize that there's a doggie door built into the door, and they convince the doggie to go thru it. so he runs over to a bush and proceeds to pee. and then all the wonder pets follow him, and they proceed to pee also. which i find somewhat disturbing. but i'm not sure why. it's a natural thing. and they did all go over to the faucet afterwards, and wash their hands. lol! then the little boy owner walks out and says "good boy, you used your doggie door all by yourself". and i'm thinking "dude, why didn't you mention this new door to your little doggie in the first place?". lol!
sorry, i totally digressed. but tell me that wasn't hilarious! maybe it's just that this is what my days have become, so only i would find this so hilarious. but maybe some of you can relate, so i share. lol! so i was sitting there watching the show. and i looked at the shelf next to the tv. and what did i see?
this had to be the funniest thing today. in between the photo albums and alyssa's textbooks for school, was this dinosaur. someone, and i'm not naming names (ahem*niko/haley*ahem), had stuck this dinosaur's head in between these books. all i saw was his little dinosaur tush sticking out, with his long tail. it's like he was hiding out. i laughed so hard at this. i mean, i was seriously cracking up. haley didn't quite get it. she thought it was funny, but she didn't understand WHY it was so funny to me.
this dinosaur could be me right now. i sort of want to do what he's doing. stick my head somewhere and pretend that nothing else is going on around me. go to my "happy place" and have some quiet time. i seem to have way too much going on this week. and last week and i'm pretty sure next week too. i'm not ever sure i could tell you what i have going on, because i keep forgetting things that should be on my list. i'm overwhelmed with things to do, and things to take care of. don't get me wrong. it's good stuff. all of it is great stuff. i'll even say it's incredible stuff. but it's still a lot of stuff to do and keep track of. and in some ways, i have been just like this dinosaur. i've had plenty of moments this week where i knew i had stuff to do, but choose to ignore it. then i wake up the next day, and am more frazzled because i then have double the stuff to do. lol! i never learn.
i meant to come on here and post a funny picture that made me laugh a lot today. and somehow, in true "laura style", i've managed to write a novel ;)
