About a week ago I was moaning and groaning to Annalise about how sad I'll be when she goes to Kindergarten (Please tell me all moms give their kids guilt trips about leaving them?). I was telling her all the things I'll miss about her being gone. Then I said, "Plus, who will bring me toilet paper if it runs out on me? Ava doesn't even know where to find it". I was very serious in telling her just how important her role as my daughter is! :-).
Now fast forward to today. Lunch time roles around and I'm talking to her again, saying things such as, "You can't go to school. Just stay home one more year, I'll miss you so much, etc....etc...". She tells me she definitely IS going to school because now she's excited about it. Then after she gets up I hear her go into the other room and say this to Ava, "Ava, come here. I need to teach you something. I need to teach you where the toilet paper is so if Mommy ever needs some you can get it." Well, Ava must not have been a good student because then she says, "I'll just get one out for ever day I'll be gone". And lo and behold, I went into the bathroom and there is about 10 rolls gracing my magazine basket. I guess I go through a LOT of toilet paper people!
I think it's hilarious that the thing she thinks I worry most about her being gone is me running low on toilet paper! Gotta love it.

The toilet paper story is hilarious! And sooooo very sweet of Annalise. I'm sorry your oldest is heading off to school. I was crying to Ryan last night because my youngest is going to preschool. He told me I'd get over it, after all it's only 2.5 hours. Then he told me to come to grips with the fact that "our children are getting older". Good luck! At least her school is close by!
Alisa,
Thank you for making me laugh today. This is awesomely hilarious! What sweet kids you have: )
And thank you for stopping by the 'ole blog today. I feel your sincerity and thank you for listening to my random ramblings.
Bytheway, I'm already trying to talk Mo out of EVER leaving me--and he's 2.
That is seriously the funniest and sweetest thing ever!! Hopefully you're both adjusting to the new change. It always made me feel better to think that I could use the time she was gone to get everything done so that when she was home she could have my undivided attention to make up for the time she was gone :)
So sweet!! Oh I don't dare lay on the guilt, I have one sensitive homebody who is already upset about being gone all day! What a relief that she likes it so much.
WHAT A COINCIDENCE THAT I SAW YOU TODAY. I HAVE BEEN MEANING TO GET YOU AND GET THE NAME AND NUMBER TO YOUR DRYWALL GUY THAT CLOSED IN YOUR DINING ROOM. DO YOU KNOW IF HE IS A CONTRACTOR? WE ARE LOOKING AT RE-DOING OUR LOFT AND I WOULD HAVE TO BE SOMEONE WHO KNOWS IF WHAT WE WANT CAN EVEN BE DONE STRUCTURALLY. ANY WAY...
I HAD YOUR NUMBER AND AM NOT SURE WHERE I SAVED IT TO. IF YOU HAVE A FREE MINUTE CAN YOU CALL ME AND WE CAN CHAT ABOUT YOUR CONSTRUCTION AND IF YOU THINK YOU GOT YOUR MONEY'S WORTH!! THANKS A TON!
