Peer Into My Soul, If You Dare

Uncategorized 1 Minute

I was minding my own business, reading a blog, waiting for Spongebob to end so I can toss my daughter into her bed when the noise coming from my boys’ room (which shall forthwith be known as the Boy Cave) became so intolerable that I popped up, strode to the door in a single bound and threw open the door. 

I announced, “THAT IS ENOUGH!  STOP!  STOP!  STOP!  IF YOU MAKE THAT NOISE ONE . . . MORE . . . TIME, YOU WILL SPEND THE REST OF THE NIGHT IN YOUR ROOM!” 

I thought I saw a teenage smirk, so I continued, “AND YOU!  YOU!  WHOEVER MAKES HIM MAKE THAT NOISE AGAIN WILL SPEND THE REST OF THE NIGHT ON HIS BED!”

Then, with a dramatic flourish of my hands, I concluded, “I CANNOT TAKE ONE MORE SECOND OF THAT NOISE!  SO STOP!  JUST STOP!”  I believe that my eyes rolled back into my head and my head exploded as if it were full of microwave popcorn in full pop.  

And then I wheeled around, slammed the door and resumed my rightful spot at my computer desk.

So far, no more noise from the Boy Cave.  Someone get me some ear plugs.  And a scalpel to sever the nerves to my eardrums.

  1. Are you lurking in my house???? I sounded/looked just like that earlier this afternoon when the girls were elevating kid noise to nuclear levels.

    Are you hiding in one of my closets?

  2. Are we one the same wavelength or what? I blogged about that very thing today. They ended up (the younger two) cleaning house while I supervised from here.

    How many days until school starts? Eight?

    I think I can stand it. Maybe.

  4. My two ‘kids’ will be 30 and 28 in September. I know you younger mothers will find it hard to believe, but one of these years you’ll look back on times like this and they won’t seem so bad, haha! Hey, Mel…I don’t read Mrs. Darling’s blog anymore, but I just HAD to go by and see if SHE posted a pic of you guys at the dinner and she DID!! Boy, you look TERRIFIC, girl! Go, Team Naked!!!!!
