You know, by year #10 of parenting . . .


More and more just rolls off the ol' shoulders.

Here's one of them:
Passed by this dandy after putting William down for his nap.  I looked at it, said "uh...nice!" and considered how much worse it could have been had there been a banana in that peel, smashed under the door.  Now, I do consider the source (it's not like this was a move by our 10 yr old) and if it's happening often (it's not), but if it's a one time move like this I'll shrug the shoulders and move on to the next event.

I mean when you have to say things like, "please don't scratch your back with that" (a pancake flipper) while making pancakes with the bare-backed seven year old one morning...you really do have to organize your priorities on what's going to stress you out, or you'll end up in the loony bin!
