Why I Live My Life in a Perpetual State of Bewilderment

Seriously.  Always bewildered.  Here are 10 reasons why:

1) The other day, my two year old somehow found a bag of M&Ms, ate the whole thing, then washed it down with the entire bottle of Holy Water.

2) Yesterday, I was walking all over the house trying to find the source of this odd smell, until finally I realized (with no small amount of horror) that it was ME.  I had been spit up on so many times that I stank.

3) In the same vein, this morning it took me until 11 am just to take a shower and get dressed.

4) Have you met my five year old? She's the one with her hands over her ears in Liturgy, complaining (in a voice like a trumpet) that the singing is too loud.  She's also the one who ate Nilla Wafers for breakfast.

5) In a valiant attempt to make cookies yesterday, it took 45 minutes just to get the butter and sugar creamed together.

6) While sweeping the bathroom Saturday night, I found more clumps of hair from the great Haircut Incident of 2013.

7) Try as I might, I cannot convince my two year old that the angel in the Nativity scene is, in fact, an angel, and not a fairy.

8) I made cookie dough last week for Christmas, and decided to take advantage of the 2 degree weather by freezing it outside.  Then I promptly forgot about it, until the next morning when I noticed an unusually large flock of birds on the porch. What the....? "Look Mom!  The birds like your cookies!"  Crap.

9) I just unwrapped a tootsie roll, but dropped it on the sleeping baby in my lap.  He is sleeping no longer.

10) Laundry for a family of six.  Enough said.
