Hehehehee...that is what Cedric will tell people if he gets into trouble..He puts his hand out and says...relax Mommy...relax bro bro, relax Daddy...he even told my brother today to relax after he got in trouble for something or another. With that child you NEVER know.
Let me set the scene of this mornings chaos. I think I am getting another ear infection from swimming last week. Always lovely...so I'm dealing with a headache and ear pain (could be TMJ who knows), I had to sub for my boss at her local BNI meeting. I DO NOT LIKE PUBLIC SPEAKING...and yes that calls for all caps. I had to deliver a 45 second commercial and do a testimonial. Ummm...this is beyond my comfort level. So I have been fretting about this all last night. I had everything prepped for the kids to be taken to my moms in the morning. I had sippy cups even filled and ready in the fridge. Yup, that ready. I was ready to dazzle the BNI crew. One hiccup...Cedric. While getting ready, he managed his way into his older brother's room. He then managed his way up his brothers bunk bed. All I heard was his crying. I ran to him and found him laying on Spen's beanbag chair. He told me he fell. Dear God this child will give me a heart attack sooner or later. My husband had already left for work, so no one was there to calm me down. I think I had exasperated all my nerves due to the public speaking worry and I was able to stay calm. I looked Cedric over. Did the mommy 101 accident assessment. Looked for bones poking out, red marks, bruises, or anything odd. I asked where was his boo boo...and asked him what happened. Cedric is smart...and I know he lies to not get into trouble. So we shall never really know what happened. I personally think he slipped on the ladder. He was back to normal in no time. Then I had the mommy freak out of what if this had happened. My nerves were officially shot. So I managed to forget my business cards and was half frazzled at the start of the meeting. Sheeshhhhh....
The end of the day actually turned out awesome. I went to go pick the kids up from my moms. I ended up staying for a while and just hanging out. It seems at some point in adulthood distance grew between my mom and myself. Not sure the exact moment...but it was there. Tonight was different. I ended up laying on her bed tonight talking with her, gossiping, laughing and carrying on like old times. I miss my mom...she's my mom and I adore and love her. We took the kids for a walk and let them run wild in the tennis courts. It was just really nice. I'm going to make a point to really try to bridge that gap of closeness with my mom. Life is too short that type of non-sense.
Pointless update...
Ok, off to self medicate. I have a hot date with Benadryl...hopefully, I can kick this headache!
