The Cavazos Familia

It's just been one of "those"days. Originally I was going to blog/vent about everything bad. Then I remembered a hymn "Count your many blessings". Don't' get me wrong, I'm still going to vent but I'll put a blessing next to it :) But first a random vent....

I HATE It when a civilian ask when Isaac is coming home and then have the audacity to reply, " June!? Well, that's not long at all!" Screw you! If he came home June 1st that's 3 weeks, 22 days, or 528 more hours that I have to be a single parent. You walk a day in my shoes and then tell me that's "not long". Here's what one of my "not so bad" days was like...

12 something am: Isaac wakes up and I assume he had a nightmare b.c. he comes running out of the bedroom. Being the sweet mom I am I pick him up and tell him everything is OK and that I'm there for him. I feel very warm. Not the good kind of warm. Apparently my little guy was just on his way to the bathroom.

*blessing: He didn't pee the bed and I give myself and A for effort

10am : I go to feed Thor. I see he's dug a new hole. He tried to kill me again by jumping on me. He no longer sits for me. I am scared to death he will tangle me in leash and I will have to yell till a neighbor comes and helps me.

*blessing: Isaac can fill in the holes. Thor is just a puppy so hopefully he will calm down. I only have to hate him for 1 more month.

11am: Chocolate chip waffles with Mikki. Yay, for waffles! Israel eats most of my waffle :( Isaac and Nicholas spill their juice boxes...a lot

*blessing: At least my little guy is eating and will put on some pounds for our next Dr. visit. It's pretty easy to clean up juice.

2pm: Rinsing dishes to put in the dishwasher. Isaac screams, "MY MEDAL! MY FAVORITE MEDAL! I CAN'T GET IT OUT!" He stuck it in the only slot in the dishwasher. I can't get one of the screws undone so I guess I will be hand washing dishes till my Husband comes home and gets the stupid thing out.

*blessing: I won't die without a dishwasher. I do know it is a luxury. We will save on our water bill.

2:15pm: I notice it's freakishly quiet in the house. Israel was napping so no issues there....where did Isaac and Nicholas go...they opened the front door and went outside! Not cool.

blessing: I caught them in time and nothing bad happened to them. I learned that we need to get a higher dead bolt.

3pm: Isaac comes to me hugging a picture of his Dad and crying. I have to explain again that Daddy misses him very much, is protecting us from the bad guys, and will be home soon.

blessing: Isaac really will be home soon! :)

5pm: Met up with some friends at Chick-fil-A. Caught Isaac on top of a table. I never wanted to be one of those mom's who didn't know where her kid was at. I seriously thought he was in the play area.

*It wasn't busy so nobody really noticed....i think.

7pm: Isaac hits Nicholas in the head with a rock.

blessing: Nicholas was not hurt. Isaac learned a life lesson...if we throw rocks at our friends and hit them...mom will spank my butt.

8pm: Isaac has a huge meltdown and won't pick up his toys. I carry through with my threat and bag up all the toys that he has not picked up and put them in Isaac's truck till Big Isaac gets home. Meanwhile Isaac locks me in the garage. I bang on the door and he won't let me in.

*blessing: I tricked him by ringing the doorbell. Which to my surprise he didn't answer. Instead he went to the garage to get me to answer the doorbell. Also, he learned the important lesson that we do not lock mommy out of the house!

11pm: Can't find the stupid remote and I can't watch my chick flick on the TV

* I'm going to watch that movie on my laptop now and eat some ice cream. Like the cartoon says...Stressed is Dessert spelled backwards :)
