Underways….

Want to know a random day in the life of a NAVY wife while hubby is off playing sailor? Here are some snippets form A day, yes ONE day, email to MarcS during our last underway. (we have just started another one so more will come I am sure!)

...This afternoon I had to reprimand Maddox for 1 being rude to the crossing guard and then telling me he just doesn't care. Not fun. Did the dog food amidst a Braxton random meltdown. Not a problem there. Made a snack. MO of course continued the meltdown, madman ate both sandwiches, yes a PBJ sandwich. Anyway dogs out, come in start homework THEN Shoka puked A LOT. I mean a shit ton. Even Mad was like Gosh Mama that’s a lot. GGGGGAAAaAaRRROOOSSSS. Then I hear a scream go into the bathroom (where btw the door and toilet were accidentally left open) to find Broox not only playing is said Open toilet but stuffing a new roll of toilet paper into the toilet. Stopped cleaning puke, cleaned the baby, go back to puke, back to the toilet to dig out the toilet paper, then just to make things fun MO came in and peed on the wall bc I was in the way. Yup. They are in the nursery now and I am laying on the couch reliving the evening.
Baaaaa sent the last too soon.... to add- Mad just flipped MO off the rocking chair and Broox was eating a used diaper. Let the party continue!
Ahhhhh how can this get ANY better you ask, baby knocked over the toy basket in the bathtub causing the glass break sensor to activate causing the ever-so-comforting alarm to go off. Then for the rest of the night Mad was afraid that his brothers were going to go to jail bc they weren’t listening.

I KNOW that above is trivial compared to “real” problems and I am very lucky to not have those “real” problems. But sometimes these small occurrences back to back can make it a little overwhelming. Anyway when the hubs got home he explained that my detailed email of my day brought much needed laughter to his colleagues. You’re welcome Safety and Medical you’re welcome!
