The new cure for cranky
It is amazing that my kids seem to know when I am having an off day because they always come up with a way to make me laugh. Take now for instance. I am in the middle of trying to do a very boring research proposal for school involving an experiment I am supposed to conduct next week, but I am tired. And cranky. I think I may have gotten 2-3 hours of sleep last night and my boys did not trade up to take Mark Ingram in the draft and let my husband's team take him which I will never hear the end of so I am a little short with my fuse today. How do my kids respond to this? They bring their musical toys into the living room and start playing with them and then they begin dancing. It starts with them just standing their moving their bodies back and forth from one foot to the other with very exaggerated head swaying. Left. Right. Left. Right. After a couple of minutes of this I am almost smiling, but these kids are smart and know that it is not enough. They then move to the middle of the room and begin dancing with jerky almost violent looking motions with their arms up in the air all the while spinning circles. There is no way this can end well, but miraculously, they do not run into each other. When they notice one another they start laughing and then try upstaging the other. Stitch begins jumping while spinning and dancing and possible even convulsing while Trouble put his hands out to the side and starts flings them up to the left, down in the middle, and then up and to the right. He looks like a marionette that a child is playing with because he then tries to involve his legs. How can you not laugh watching these two. Thankfully my two goof balls have chased away mommy's sour mood and I can begin to really enjoy my day!
