And the Fun Begins

So after a day of much tears and soul searching, my heart felt heavy and burdened. Mike has been working a night shift so it seems we don't have much time with each other these days. After he left to go to work, I watched some TV and tried to relax. It wasn't long before mother nature called and I had to go to the bathroom. I went in to do my business and as I sat down I felt eyes on me. Which isn't uncommon with 4 children in the house! It seems they feel that is the only place they can talk to me! I remember doing the same thing to my mom, she would barely get in the bathroom before I would go plop on the edge of her shower and talk about my day. A mother has no privacy.

Anywho, as I looked up I saw the eyes and a magnifying glass. I couldn't help but chuckle, The cut out above of William Shattner was taped to the wall. It was at eye level. As soon as I sat down I felt as if I was being inspected by William himself. I couldn't help but chuckle. Not once, but twice. I just knew Mike had done it.

William had been making his way around my house since someone trimmed him from the Sunday paper. First he was on the kids mirror, then he managed to make it into my bathroom and onto my mirror. Hadn't really thought about him until that moment when I was looking him in the eye. After I giggled I thought "ok now it's my turn to get someone." So I placed him behind the toilet at a lower level. So when Mike walked in to stand and do his business he would be watched. I thought I was so clever.

Well fast forward to the morning, Kaylin tells Chase to go look in the bathroom, she had heard me laughing the night before and was there when I decided to move him (William) to his new location. Chase goes in there and comes back out and asks "who moved it," apparently he was the prankster to begin with. I then asked if he had put it there and he said he had. We laughed and decided to leave it there for Mike.

The girls could hardly stand it when he came home, they couldn't wait for him to go in there. He came out of the bathroom asking who the wise guy was and we all started to giggle. He still hangs in our bathroom, he has not been moved, but I just might have to find a new place for him in the morning! Something so simple can make a day special, I wonder if years from now we will look back on this day and this silly little game we played? What memories really matter? I hope it's the simpler ones, the ones we didn't have to pay for, the ones that we made as a family.
