Murphy's Law:
If anything can go wrong, it will
Over the years I've
come across many Murphy's Laws and they usually make me chuckle. They make me
laugh until I feel like I'm stuck in one! I'm not sure if my current
predicament is actually a law, but it feels like one. Thankfully, this
experience isn't life vs death, it's just annoying. Let me see if I can
explain...many of you will probably say I'm neurotic, but it's beyond
frustrating for me.
I always am up quite a bit before my boys because
I've gone to the gym or because I want to get everything in order so we will
have a nice tranquil transition out the house before school. I was raised that
you NEVER are late, you ALWAYS are on time or early. I have a hard time when
this is altered, I'm a bit OCD! So to avoid the feelings of irritation &
annoyance, I try to have backpacks ready, an idea for breakfasts & lunch,
dishes done, toys picked up before the boys get up, etc. Without fail, everyday the
last week (school days only), I have reminded the boys to take care of their
bathroom necessities (pooping) at least 20 minutes before we leave in my attempt
to avoid running to the bathroom just moments before we are to leave. I know
Neurotic right? I'm not trying to control their bathroom needs, I just know from
experience what schedules my boys bodies have and I try to gently teach them to
take care of their business before they head out for the day. Besides who wants
to use the schools bathroom? I remember how nasty they were when I was in
school. Ick! But without fail, I ask the boys to go to the bathroom, get their shoes on and grab their backpacks and I instantly hear..... Mom, I gotta go! Ugh! Really????
I know you all are probably shaking your head at me & I
know this isn't really one of life's problems, but it still bothers
me. What are you going to do?
Oh well....I feel better now as it's off my chest. Better finish my gym
time & get home so I can get ready for my boys to wake up. Let the fun
begin!
Blessings!
