The tiny terrorist sweet boy actually took TWO good naps, which is totally unheard of these days. Maybe he’s growing or (hopefully not) coming down with something. Either way, I was actually able to get a few things done around the house today!
During nap one, Operation: Organize the Bedroom began to take flight, there are less boxes in the closet and more things put away and hung up. Mr. Mustard was pleased upon his return home and was even nice enough to carry the laundry down the stairs. We are ignoring the fact that said laundry hasn’t yet budged from where he put it… I’ll get there… later.
Nap two, oh man. I should know by now that being left unattended on the internet during nap time is a poor poor choice. I don’t know what it is about nap time, but it seems to be when my ideas come to me. Sometimes it’s because there’s a sleeping toddler on me and I can’t move without waking him up… I didn’t even have that excuse today. No, today I met my inner Pinterest Whore. Wow, she’s pretty intense. I think I pinned several dozen things and then fell in to what I used to call a Wikipedia hole. That’s when you look up something innocent on Wikipedia like say cows and then for hours later you have 9000 browser tabs open and you’re reading an article on some lion statue in the Louvre and you haven’t the slightest clue where you are, what time it really is or when you last ate. Though oddly you do know about the dietary preferences of lemurs.
Once I was snapped out of the Pinterest induced wiki-hole by a screaming politely cooing child there was already WAY too much in my brain. I took the boy downstairs and while visions of freezer meals, house decorations and 50 uses for old pallets danced in my head… He figured out how to open cabinets and then gave himself a bath in the dog water bowl.
Best. Mom. Ever.
So yeah, I have a Pinterest problem… and I might be plotting out the mother of all shopping lists so I can avoid cooking for the next three months.
