The two don’t seem to go together do they? They just might…..So where have I been? What has been going on? Why have I been neglecting the site. How much time do you have? You might want to refill your coffee coffee/tea cup. After this post you should know why my blog is called Delightful Chaos.

I don’t know about you but I am so happy to see 2011 behind me. December was an extremely hectic month for me. Some good and some bad but all around it was nothing short of chaotic. All in all we had a fantastic Christmas and a fun New Year.

I am happy to say that I am officially divorced, I can close that chapter of my life and continue with the new one. That was a long road to go down and no one wants to be divorced. It was the best thing for both of us though. I wish it had gone a little better but it is difficult to see past the anger and bitterness sometimes. On to happier times!

Parents are like kids sometimes. I only see my Mom three or four times a year and it’s never a dull moment around her. She often comes out with things that should be filed under “Parents say the darnedest things.”

While driving to New Jersey last week to attend my grandfathers funeral, my Mom had the radio up and she was going to town singing. The conversation went like this.

One of my dear friends had a baby about a week ago. Her oldest is almost 13 so it has been quite some time since there was a baby in the house. I love watching her Facebook feed go by to see what has been happening. Some of the things she posts are so funny to me, of course it is because it’s not me and I remember those times! It has been many years since there was a baby in my home. (but who knows, I am still young enough!) This morning, I saw this one on her wall::

I couldn’t really do anything except laugh. It always seems to work out like that doesn’t it? After reading this I remembered a funny memory about when my oldest son was born. His father was so proud and wanted to change the very first diaper. Hey great, have at it, one less I have to change. (After 30 hours of labor, I wasn’t at all unhappy to just rest.) I wonder how many of you are laughing right now because you remember what that diaper was like. If you haven’t had the pleasure of this encounter, consider yourself blessed… In short, it is pretty much like tar. Kind of nasty huh? After about 8 wipes later, watery eyes and red face from the smell, he handed the duties over to me. Kudos to him for trying but clearly it was a job for Super Mom.

It is 2:30 pm on a chilly Friday afternoon and Spencer (4) decides that he wants to take a bath…. I am sitting on the edge of the tub playing with his toys with him…. I get up and walk across the hall to grab his towel when our conversation starts. I knew it wasn’t what I thought I heard, but, I still had to get to the bottom of what on earth he was talking about.

Spencer: Mom guess what?

Me: What?

Spencer: I’m high!

Me: You’re what?

Spencer: I’m high!

Me: *pause* Why are you high?

Spencer: Because I’m on something.

Me: *longer pause* What are you on?

Spencer: It’s a secret.

Me: Where did you hear that?

Spencer: I made it up.

Me: Okay *pause* Mommy needs to know what is making you high

Spencer: *silly giggle*

Me: *patient smirk*

Spencer: I’m sitting on my toy HAHAHA! I fooled you. You didn’t know what I was on!

Me: You are so silly.

He was clearly HIGH and ON something.
