A Million Questions

Goodness yesterday was a HARD day to get through.  From the moment N. woke up he asked me question after question.  Might I add, some of them were pretty s-t-u-p-i-d questions (we're not allowed to use that word and N. will call us on it every time so I've resorted to spelling it!!)

We just finished putting down our kithen floor and on Tuesday night, dad and I grouted it.  Silly me, I told N. that I had to wash it.  Well ALL morning, "Mom, when are we washing the floor?"  "Mom can we wash the floor now?"  "Mom, are we going to wash the floor when F. is napping?"

N. questioned everything I did.  That was it, I decided we needed to get out and N. needed to be playing with a friend so that I wouldn't lose my mind.  Thankfully my good friend, Karen, was home and open to have some last minute visitors.  THANK YOU KAREN!  It's no nice having another stay-at-home mom living so close that we can drop in on eachother when the need arises!  Ahhhh, it was so nice to be with another adult and to have a  nice conversation with while the kiddies played together.  I discovered that we had both broken our noses as children...her story a little less embrassing than mine!  I even got to vent a little which is nice to release my frustrations every now and again.  Thanx Karen for humoring me!

To give you an idea of the type of S-T-U-P-I-D questions N. asked...On our way to Karen's house, N. asked which park we were going to.  I reminded him I had already told him several times, we were going to the one near the church.  He's been there many times.

N.:  "Mommy what kind of park is it?"

Me:  "What do you mean, what kind of park is it?"

N.:  "MOOOOMMMMM, what kind of park is it?"

Oh now I'm the one getting yelled at, because I don't understand his question?!?!?

I know this question doesn't seem so s-t-u-p-i-d, but when you've been questioned ALL morning about EVERY little thing, this type of question just seems soooo unreasonable.  And when you've been with your kids 24hrs/7 days with no sight of a hubby (he's been working so hard lately) these types of questions just push all my buttons because, really, there is ONLY 1 KIND OF PARK!!!!

By the end of supper, hubby still not home, I had reached my breaking point. 

"Mommy, can I have water?"

"Mommy, can I have cheese?"

"Mommy, can I give some cheese to F.?"

"Mommy, do I have to eat all my supper?"

"Mommy, do I have to have fruit?"

"Mommy, what are we doing tomorrow?"

"Mommy, why is daddy at a meeting?

"Mommy, what are we doing tomorrow?"

So we turned on that, oh so loved, box in the corner...the television...ahhhhhh silence!

One more question before bed, of course...

"Mommy what are we doing tomorrow?"

*sigh*
