Ever seen the movie "Click" with Adam Sandler? Pretty cute movie, and totally GENIUS idea. I'm sure that every mother who saw that movie thought as I did, "Wow, I'd love to get my hands on one of those remotes." Today was most definitely a CLICK! kind of day. Since I don't have a handy dandy remote to pause a moment in life, or mute a screaming child, or let's be honest, REWIND a few things (a thrusting sword that knocked over and broke my favorite lamp and vase, as I said before, one of "those" kind of days), I have several hiding places instead. Yes, I admit that I occasionally hide from my children. There, I said it. Truthfully I can't hide very long. I've got 2-3 minutes tops before my 4 1/2 year old Evil Kanevil is on the loose, but this couple of minutes is just the right dose. There is a stool in my pantry I use to get things down from the top shelf. I also use it to rest my weary rump when I need a break. It's actually very quiet in there. I prefer the light off...otherwise I'm looking at the messy pile of tupper ware and dust in the corners. Another one is a chocolate break in my master bathroom. Yep, I sneak candy and tip-toe into my bathroom to eat it in silence on the comfy chair by the window. Totally weird I know, and totally worth your judgment. My husband gave me the strangest look when I brought that chair home from the D.I. and placed it in the bathroom a couple months after we moved in. But now he hides there once in a while as well. And last but certainly not least, my cold storage room. It's always freezing down there, and the cool air gives me a little oomph every now and again. It's always a work in progress, so when Kresta is down for a nap and Silas is at preschool, I take 15 minutes to clear my head by organizing and putting away my food storage items. Crazy I know, but it works for me. So there, who needs a little click remote. There's nothing that a few good minutes of piece and quiet, and a little chocolate can't fix!
