You just gotta love conversations with 8 year olds.

So the other night my daughter and I were talking. I was cutting something up for supper and she asked if I had ever been cut with a knife. I said yes one time and it was an accident while I was at work. She proceeds to ask more questions of course such as:

Allyssa : Did you have to have any stitches?

Me: No. It wasn't bad enough for that.

Allyssa: Have you ever had stitches before?

Me: Yes, in fact I have. It was just two tiny ones though.

Allyssa : When?

Me: To be honest it was the day that you were born?

Allyssa: Oh my god mom! No way. Are you serious?

Me: Yes! I am serious but it didn't hurt at all.

Then she asks me ....

Allyssa: Do I have to have a baby?

Me: I told her point blank no she didn't have to have a baby if she didn't want to but if she did and the time was right it would be ok. And you also have to have sex first in order to get pregnant.

Allyssa: (looks as white as a ghost) Mom you didn't just say that? So you have had sex?

Me: Yes honey I did and thats how all of you came along.

I walked out of the room laughing while she looked as white as a ghost and puzzled trying to figure out what we just talked about.

Goodness!

Where does all this laundry come from?? You would think I had six kids for the amount of laundry i do a week. I guess it doesn't help when you have a 2 year old that thinks she can change clothes whenever she feels like it so you never know whats clean or dirty. I just seem to think that I have it all caught up and put away to find my hamper over flowing again. Its just crazy how often my washer gets a work out. I just wish I could hang my clothes outside to dry because I love the smell of fresh hung laundry. Maybe some day soon that will happen. I am sure there are quite a few whom can relate to what I feel about this mountain of laundry I have piling up downstairs. How many times a week do you do laundry? Are you ever really caught up?

Wow Finally!

Wow! Where does time go? My days seem to just run one right after the other and no stopping in between. I guess thats what happens when you have 3 kids under 10. There is never a dull moment here. I believe that to be the reason I am slightly or maybe mostly insane on all days ending in Y. Its summer time and lots of activities going on. Every day is filled with new surprises.
