Save me

From my children... Yes its been one of those nights!
Everything was good, kids staggered into the door.. First wyatt and than about 20 minutes later lil ron. Homework was completed without having to call in the army, navy, or national guard so that in itself was not only a rarity but an awesomely pleasant experience.
And than I made the mistake...
At least I admit it being my mistake...
I agreed to take all 3 boys and clyde swimming.. Duh duh duh (that's my scary theme music stuff..)
So off we head down the road knowing that owen and I would not be jumping in as the amount of time to shower and to do make up to run to subway to pick up wyatts lunch for tomorrow would just be a waste of time..
geesh had i known ahead of time what a wild monster this would cause clyde to be, i would have either left him home or went ahead and jumped in.. talk about a monster!
and than owen started to fuss a bit because he wanted to crawl around all over the ground and well, we were trying to keep clean .. well at least semi clean *lol*
it was crazy is all have to say, crazy beyond crazy *lol*
we figured out that clydes problem has something to do with some of us (me and owen) being on the upper part of the land and the boys being in the water, you see yesterday it was just lil ron and i.. and during that time, we were both in the water and clyde was a swimming fool.
when its just us down there we tend to let him run freely with his leash still attached to his collar so that we can *grab* if someone was to show up. with him running up and down we had issues right there.
with owen, i was letting him furniture surf on the picnic table (the seat part with feet on the ground) but he kept wanting to go exploring further. since this area is also used for fishing, i do have to worry about hooks in the grass (we have found them before) ...
so after an hour or so this mama had enough and it was time to head to the house..
once we got to the house, go figure owen wanted to be held.. as he was chasing me down.. i was trying to chase wyatt into the shower to get that salt water off of him..
finally after what seemed like a decade .. everyone was showered and relaxing and i could run to subway to get wyatts lunch for his trip tomorrow to the aquarium.. it is his last trip of the year ~ weather permitting im sure, they are also planning on heading to the wooden park which has always been a favorite of ours to go to when possible.. the wooden park is awesome and yes im a mama who runs threw it with her kiddos chasing them down and playing on all the toys *lol*
finally its bed time and im ushering the kids into the *sleep mode* so far one down and two to go.. why is it that the day before a special day at school.. kids are so hard to get to go to sleep?
anyways.. so that was my crazy day..
i think next time we take our trip to the water, either we all go in or clyde will stay home. im not yet sure how owen will do in the water, this is his first summer going in.. so hopefully he will enjoy swimming..
he should .. after all he loves bath time .. well all but the repeated *no.. sit down* the funny thing is that as soon as he learned to roll over, he was a belly bather, of course under my watchful eye at all times.. now that he has learned to pull himself up, he thinks he should stand in the tub.. a big no no as its too dangerous ...but we are quickly working on that and hopefully he will get it all soon enough.

you know the best things about kids, they keep life interesting.

i did find out tonight when i talked to ron on the phone that he is taking both wed and thurs off .. im soo happy! i miss him so much. the past few days he has put in some extra long hours, last night especially.. he was working from about 10:30am and didnt get home until after 3am.. i was up with owen for our nightly wake up.. i will be happy when he goes back to sleeping all night long.. should be soon now that he has cut his 6th tooth although i havent been given the chance to peep in there to see if any more are fixing to cut.
