While mom is asleep

Tuesday, September 21, 2010

While not normally a complainer, let me tell you that yesterday threw me the worst migraine I have had in recent memory. It was the kind that kept me in bed all day with a bag of frozen edamame strategically placed right over my eyes and on top of my head.
I kept the kids in my room and turned on the t.v. so I could somewhat keep my eye on them, even if my eyes were shut.

I must have dozed off because I awoke to a little boy who looked like he had been dipped in a bin of flour. I wanted to take a picture of him but I could barely open my eyes. I wasn't worried, I knew Trae would give me more opportunities to document his messes. So I followed the perfectly white, powdery footprints which led me to a HUGE mound of powdered sugar in the middle of the kitchen floor. The girls cleaned it up for me when they got home from school and I went back to bed.

Then Jon got home and came in to the bedroom wearing hilarious glasses which caused me to laugh and made my head hurt worse. He was asked at work if he had to mug a 90 year-old person to get those things. After walking out in to the kitchen, he promptly returned to the room, grabbed my camera and came back with this photo.


I knew there would be other moments and Trae didn't disappoint.

Luckily the headache is gone and I even got in a brisk walk this morning, so I am ready for this 2 year-old.

  1. Call me weird, but I love that you have edamame in you freezer. I always love pictures of toddlers covered in chocolate.

  5. That is so so cute but what a mess ( chocolate and powdered sugar were good choices...could have been something worse ! (

    Glad you jettisoned that migraine...I get them sometimes and they are so awful that only a dark, cool, quiet room, cold compresses, sleep and meds relieve me. When my kids were young, I had to tough it out until my Hubs arrived home too !

  6. Those are the best pictures to have. Are you glad that you have them and documented the story behind it too? Too funny. I would have liked to have seen your husband in the glasses for a head-hurting-laughing-time myself.
