Sleepy Tiger, Grouchy Dragon(fly)

Here we are during the "sun downing" stage of the evening. Naps were scarce and naughtiness is plentiful. My babysitter, Elmo, is doing his best to put the kids into a comatose state if only for a few precious moments. I have been researching which kind of wall paint I can wash "washable crayola" (yeah right!) and processed cheese off of. Researching paint is not very fun.
Moms- have you ever had one of those days that you wondered if giving your children a bag of marshmallows and some scissors would keep them busy long enough to take a 15 minute power nap? Ava starts back to preschool next Monday- afternoons- during Eli's nap time-score! For now, I will rely on my Sesamese au pair, Elmo, to give me that few blissful minutes of reprieve from the outer orbits of insanity that is life. I wouldn't want my life to be even an iota different. That's parenthood for you....self inflicted craziness!

Thank you both so much for coming to my rescue today. You have no idea what a blessing your family is to us. Thanks again, and I hope someday we can return all the wonderful favors. :)

Self-inflicted craziness - indeed (hang in there)... amazing blessings - yes, even more so. As to the naughtiness, perhaps you need an empty, beautiful room with lovely padded walls - if not for their temporary retention, perhaps for your peace of mind...
