Round two, here goes...
36 = the number of times I had to remind the boys we do not eat in the living room. Yes, thats ONE day.
488 = the number of fights I break up in a day. (Okay this may be a slight exaggeration, more like 483.)
4 = the number of minutes I get to work on something without interruption, cough, NOLAN.
8 = the number of stinkin days left till school starts. ( I lasted 5 more days than last August)
88 = the number of degrees above zero forecast for today.
0 = the number of pools left open in which to enjoy sweltering temps.
5 = the number of minutes out of the day that hubby is around.
1572 = the number of things I'd like to do right now, minus kids.
1572 = is also the number of times I consider shipping the kids off to boot camp :) Hm... coincidence
perhaps?
< 3 = the number of intact nerves I have right now.
8 = the number of people who have said they are in the same boat as me.
Infinite = the number of times I count my blessings that I have this time with the boys. A few
days after they start school, I will miss them all over again.
How about you? What do your numbers look like today?
I'm glad that we're in the same boat :) I would add 1,474 times that my oldest son pushed my button this week. He's seem to be always looking for a fight. Gotta love those teen years. LOL.
ReplyDeleteI spend much less time calculating 'numbers' now that I don't have wee ones in the house. I do recall wishing that I could simply just follow a thought to its completion before being interrupted, I don't know how many times a day.
ReplyDeleteWhen you look back and at your children as young adults you will know it was all worth it - every grueling repetition.
What a clever way to account for your interactions with your boys. I remember those exact feelings.
ReplyDeleteOh I could have written that post :)
ReplyDeleteGosh Vic .
ReplyDeleteSounds like you need a vacation lol
After reading that, I need a sedative.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you DO need a vacation. But yes, 2 hours after they're out the door, you'll be missing them.
That's just how it goes.
I have plenty of days that have similar numbers! Thankfully the little cupcake is in especially good spirits living in her new house-- enough to get me through until school starts!
ReplyDelete12. The number of loads of laundry that I have yet to do...
ReplyDeleteGreat post!
I'm scared to figure out my numbers for today or yesterday, so I'll just look at yours, hee, hee.
