seriously...I just got on the phone!

if you are a mother you understand!

I needed to make 2 phone calls...
the kids have 30 minutes of "free time" after school before homework begins...

Perfect
I think...
I can get two phone calls done while they are happily entertaining themselves
(I mean I not talking about 2 toddlers here...
the girl child is almost 10 and the boy is 5!)

phone call 1...
easy peasy...
on and right off, no big deal...

phone call 2...
to my sister-in-law...
had some 'business' to talk about
got that done, 1st 5 minutes of call, no big deal
yea, now we can TALK...we only get to really talk about every 2-3 months...
NO I guess we can't talk...

boy and girl child fighting...
apparently it's NOT okay for the boy to get on the girls bed
apparently he didn't look at her nicely or talk to her nicely
he was upset at how she talked to him
punching...
more punching....
yelling...

okay, can you two just be in different rooms while I'm on the phone?

separate the two spawns children...and within mere minutes...
the boy child had gotten his finger wedged into a cheap-party-favor-Star Wars-Jedi-Yoda-kaleidescope toy-thingy...
really, really...
why, why would you stick your finger into that?!
ARGH!

good bye Julie, loved our 10 minute chat!...lets do that again in 3 months!

holding back tears...

just told him I didn't think the soap option was working and was going to go get the hammer...
he looks like he might throw up!

all better, made it through with all my fingers in tack...now back to tormenting my sister...
neiner, neiner, neiner!
