Sometimes I need a reminder
I love my daughter. I love my daughter. I love my daughter.
We've been sick all week, but we appear to be on the mend. Rose has apparently hit "well enough to get bored stuck in the house." She was in her room with the door closed, which happens a lot and is usually no big deal. Sometimes she'll close it to keep Libby and Vanyel from bothering her. I figure it's better than her yelling/hurting the animals, plus it is her room, so I want her to know that she can have privacy if she wants it.
Anyway, I realized that I hadn't heard anything from her in awhile, so I went to check. . .
She had found a bunch of Permanent markers somewhere. She's covered in marker, which is kind of cute. The not so cute part--her walls, bed and television were also decorated. I spent almost an hour with a Mr. Clean Eraser scrubbing at the walls and her tv. (BTW whoever invented that eraser is my new hero.) I used one entire eraser, but everything came off the tv, and I got most of it off the walls, Some of it just needs more elbow grease than I can apply so it's going to have to wait until Darrell can give it a try. Luckily, she had an accident on her bed yesterday, so the bed was stripped because I haven't gotten around to re-making it, so the marker is just on the mattress.
I love my daughter. I love my daughter.
Someday I will look back on stuff like this and be amused...right?
