Today was off-kilter right from the beginning.
Most kids wait until their teenage years before they start pushing their parents' buttons.
Last night, Quicksilver, now three-years-old, played with Southern Belle's alarm clock.
Consequently, Quicksilver and Southern Belle showed up in my driveway exactly an hour before I expected them. That set the tone for the day.
Mrs ERJ had appointments all day long, so I was the one to drive Quicksilver to her Tuesday play-date. I also got to pick her up and she kept me company while I did various errands in the early-afternoon. She fell asleep for about 20 minutes in the truck, so of course she didn't take a nap once we got home.
Over the course of our multiple in-and-outs of the truck, I misplaced her "bunny" and that had consequences. Fortunately, I had plied her with a cheeseburger and had cookies to distract her with.
It is a good thing that I had today penciled in as a "recovery day". It wasn't so much a tragic series of unfortunate prat-falls as it was a high-speed, syncopated hobble as we staggered through the day.
Some days are like that.
Maybe I can kill something tomorrow.
That's as humerous

Chuckling, being a Grandpa is like that :-)
ReplyDeleteAppropriate name for QS!
ReplyDeleteQuicksilver is lucky to have you as a grandpa.
ReplyDeleteGodspeed tomorrow!
I hope some day Quicksilver learns to appreciate the time you spend with her.
ReplyDeleteOur grandsons are a four-year old, and his eight-year old brother, to run us ragged. I wish I had 10% of their energy!
ReplyDeleteGrandbabies are like vampires of our energy. You will never see their fangs, but when they leave you will be sucked dry.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful blessing to be able to be there.

Not following the alarm clock, unless SB walked out the door without checking what time it actually was?
ReplyDeleteThat your day was twitterpated by them coming early I can see.

SB saw it on the clock radio in her vehicle and gave me a five minute heads-up
