The most bizarre thing that has ever happened to me as a parent happened this morning. I mean honestly I had to take a few hours before I could even absorb it, let alone speak of it. All three kids woke up this morning without argument, got washed, dressed, then ate breakfast, thanked me for breakfast. They brushed their teeth, did their chores, put on their shoes and there wasn’t a single argument. There was laughter and joking.
This never happens, let alone in my house. At some point over the weekend these kids were replaced by pod people. No way in hell were they mine!
Usually every morning is cage matches to the death between the girls, groaning from the boys, then all three start fighting while I am screaming like a mad woman. Mondays are that multiplied by the first three levels of hell. But not this morning.
I pinched myself a few times to make sure that I wasn’t having another one of my Wasabi Almond induced dreams, but I am really awake and this really did happen today. I didn’t tell hubs about it, there is no way he would believe me! I mean this just doesn’t happen. But then again neither does this beautiful weather that we have been having which may be responsible for the strange occurrence this morning.
I mean we did spend a great deal of time out enjoying the weather. The kids wore themselves out every day. The girls learned to right bikes without training wheels, all three kids drove the four wheeler, we hiked three miles on a fitness trail. They went to the park, they ran around with friends. It is possible that all this fresh air and sunshine has caused this phenomenon that is a peaceful Monday morning.
BUT, if you hear from me and I have lost my ability to toss out the sarcastic quip, or I don’t complain about co-workers and stupid people at least a dozen times a day, then this isn’t a phenomenon, it’s pod people!
