Tag Teamed Again

I see a pattern developing. Clayton starts creating normal one-year-old mayhem. Justice, who should be old enough to stop doing this type of thing, instead of telling Mommy, decides that it looks like fun and joins forces with his little brother. Today it was powder. (I've had MUCH worse.) I found the them together, one with a bottle of baby powder and one with a bottle of medicated foot powder, giving the house a generous dusting. While I was vacuuming it up I came upon them together again: Justice spilling ham & potato soup on the floor (at least that one appeared to be an accident), and Clayton coloring all over with a marker. For the record, I did make Justice clean up the powder with a wet rag.

On another subject, what kind of commentary on my house / my ability to tune things out does this make: The other day, Lydia took a bath upstairs, and there were apparently no towels in that bathroom. She hollered and yelled and jumped up and down on the floor for at least five minutes before I paid her any notice. I heard the ruckus but was under the assumption that it was Ross and Mark playing.

LOL!! about the lydia thing. that is freaking hilarious. i think as mommies, we HAVE to tune most things out, or go crazy. and that goes 5x for you!

Yeah, seriously, unless someone starts screaming and crying hysterically for more than a few minutes, I usually ignore it.

That will just be Lydia's lesson to always check on the towel situation before taking a bath ;)

Liz, I just put a bunch of videos that I had made through the last year or so on a disk. The only new one was the one I posted the other day. You've pretty much seen everything else. I can't believe this stupid strep epidemic is RUINING our holiday! ARGH! Lydia got it AGAIN! We're going to have to change venues for the New Year's thing at least. I'm at my wits end. I'm going to look up on line and see how long the incubation is. I'm hoping Lydia can be the end of it. She must have gotten it from Todd on Christmas. I don't know. ARGH!!!!!!!!

i'm pretty dang sure the incubation for strep is 4 to 7 or 8 days. and i am SO BUMMED OUT that i have to miss todd and everyone!!! ARGH! stupid rhuematic fever! john might come tomorrow, we're not sure yet, but me and the kids are going to stay home, we think. what a freakin' virulent strand of strep you guys have got goin' on! not just in your family, but in your area it looks like! sheesh!

I asked the doctor about the whole incubation thing. They said that as long as they are a-symptomatic, they are not contagious. I don't know what to do. Stupid flatulent thing!

lizS said...

lol! that is totally the opposite of what my doctor said, renae! that's hilarious. maybe he was just talking about me, since i'm a special case, but he said that you are the most contagious when you are incubating. anyway, i'm just not coming within ten miles of you people until you have all been well for a month, lol!

ANYBODY in the world could be incubating anything at any time, and wouldn't know it, if they were a-symptomatic. You'd better not ever leave the house again!!! ;)
