Today's happenings.

I wake up this morning with spring cleaning on my mind after Danny is well on his way to the hospital to take his mother in for a routine surgery. I get up, get the twin changed and fed and placed them in their play room, put up the baby gate and walk down the hall across the family room and pass the front door and main window when I noticed three unfamiliar faces standing in our drive way.
I scurried back into the hallway, my heart was pounding, I could feel the sweat gather in my armpits.
I know what they are here for.

Jehovah's Witnesses.

To any other normal person, it's no big deal, just don't answer the door if you don't want to talk.
For some reason, I don't know why but I have a phobia of Jehovah' Witnesses just like people are afraid of clowns or heights. I get light headed, my first instinct is to run and hide, I start to sweat.
And it's not like I have something against Jehovah's Witnesses or think anything bad about them. I'm sure I pass dozens in the local supermarket every time I go and I've walked past their church without any fear at all.
But something about them coming up to our door and ringing the door bell really gets to me.
I don't feel that way when anyone one else comes to our door either.

So I hide.
Someone told me that if I told them to take our house off their list, they couldn't stop by anymore, but if I did that, I would have to open the door.
I'll pass. I would rather just hide in the bathroom for twenty minutes.

So that was my whole morning.
Finally got on to cleaning and the twins would follow me around like a tornado making an even bigger mess than there was before so I decided nap time was definitely happening and put them in their crib.
After about two hours of fighting it, I finally got my way.
Which didn't last long because every time the heat would kick on or off, it would make a noise and the dogs would bark and wake the babies up.

Some times I wonder why I even try.

But the good thing about today is when Ethan called me mama.
I was so proud, I asked him to stop doing something and come to me, then he said "no".
I've been SO worried about his speech, but even when he said "no", it still makes me proud!


Oh, and the house is clean.
I can't say for how long, but I can sleep peacefully tonight.

Goodnight.

  1. I don't like the JW's very much. I was once accosted in a creepy way in the park by one lady who wouldn't take no for an answer. I was worried I might be kidnapped.
