When Mommies Work...





Earlier today Andrew called me and told me he needed me to come in and type up a bid and it had to be turned in by 1pm. This bid is 3 pages long plus a provisions and exclusions page!! AND I didn't have all the info I needed to complete the bid. Needless to say I was on the phone most of the time and trying to type everything up correctly (I really hope it is correct cause its sent out now) So I placed Austin in the bathroom here at the office in his pack'n'play and turned on Monsters Inc. He loves that move and he hadn't had a nap all day so I figured he would be out before the show even started.




Well, he wasn't he talked and played the whole time. I cant see him when I'm sitting at the computer I can only hear him. I could hear the movie turn on and off (how he reached the laptop I have no idea it was placed pretty far back on the counter but I think he was hitting pause and FF and RW and all that. nothing big.) He really sounded like he was having a great time.




I, on the other hand, was ready to lose my mind. I had Andrew call the company we were supposed to get the bid out to and tell him there is NO WAY I could have it done by 1pm so he gave us until 2pm. I thought that was sufficient enough.




It was a crazy bid and things didn't make sense. I literally finished at 2:01 and faxed it out to him. My brain hurt because there was so much confusion on what prices were and what this or that said, and if I was supposed type that or if it was just a side note for Andrew. Anyhow I finished it and got it out.




So once I faxed it I called the gentleman it was supposed to go to. (the phones here aren't cordless they cord is seriously about 2.5 feet long) Just as I ask for the guy I hear all kinds of tearing and ruffling of papers. I couldn't even begin to think what he had that would make that kind of noise. I had to wait on hold until they got the guy.




Once I was off the phone I ran back there (stepping over Camden who had cried himself to sleep on a blanket on the floor) and saw this
He was saying "uh-oh" in this picture. He had unrolled 2 rolls of Paper towels!! I turned around and saw this


He had written all over the door as far as he could reach. This is just the doorknob area, it was all over but wouldn't show up very well unless it was close up. He also drew all over the garbage can and wall behind the garbage can



And here is what he did when I told him that it was naughty



He spit at me!! Oh my GOSH kid! He couldn't have cared less that he was in trouble. I guess the fun was worth it. And I couldn't help but laugh when he spit. So there went that discipline.


This is the reason he got locked in the bathroom in the pack'n'play in the first place


He wrote in crayon all over Andrews bids. You can see it very well but he unrolled some and colored all over them and others he just painted the whole thing (rolled up) one color. I'm glad Andrew has a good sense of humor.


This is him laughing and singing after I left the room to come and post this. I tried to catch him singing. Adorable right?


Thankfully Camden is still asleep. But Aus is yelling "uh-oh" again and "Mom... mere (come here)"


Did I seriously have two of these 18 months apart? What am I in for?????


Doesnt he look so cute and innocent? Sleeping like a rock!

You are going to LOVE re-telling him this story when he gets older and when he tries to deny it you have pictures as proof lol!! But really sometimes we just have to let them be destructive and entertain themselves while we take care of big people things. I'm glad you got the bid done though!!! :)

Unfortunately there will be many more times things like this happen. I have thought the same thing about the spacing of my boys. It gets better...until you throw another kid into the picture:) J/K For the most part, my boys are good buddies. Good luck!
