Well there is a reason why I named my blog Wailings and Hailings because everyday there is always something to wail or hail about. Well maybe not everyday. Yesterday Tommy the three year old decided to make himself useful by getting ahold of a permanent marker from where I have no idea and drew all over our new Ikea shelves and onto his face. I of course being a mom was concerned on how to get the marker off of my unpredictable yet adorable son's face. I decided maybe since i was using the magic eraser on the shelves that possibly it might work its magic on my son. However the plan backfired literally because now there is a chemical/allergic reaction on my son's face looking like a big long red scrape. I feel so guilty even though I know it was accidental but never again! I learned my lesson in not using any cleaning products on the kids no matter how harmless it may seem at the time. That people is my wailing for the day and as for the hailing I would have to say it was spending time with the family tonight playing catch and dunk the kids onto the couch. Eva just told us great news of how she is now going to be in the geography contest as well as the spelling bee. Atta girl, she really knows her stuff. She is such an amazing and smart girl and we're proud of her!
I am still struggling within on getting that motivation back before I had my back surgery, it seems impossible on some days and then other days it isn't. I found myself cleaning the coat closet this afternoon and felt I had purpose again. I think it's important we at least accomplish one thing whether it is organization, cleaning, or maybe even just do laundry. It's nice to have accomplished a few things today and tomorrow is a whole new day. :) I got to always to remember the scripture in Mosiah 4 "And see that all these things are done in wisdom and order for it is not requisite that a man should run faster than he has strength."

That's sad about Tommy! Hope he is ok now. Is that what I have to look forward to with Ashton? He likes to dump the cat food in the cat water and it drives me crazy.
Yeah he is okay, he just has a bad scrape on his right side of face but should heal soon! Ha hopefully that won't happen with Ashton. What happened with Tommy was my fault though so just keep Ashton away from cleaning products.;)
