I.Am.So.Angry.Right.Now.

Elijah's Artwork #3

Yes, he did it again!

This time, I was off doing a million things (folding laundry, setting up my sister-in-law’s new computer, answering the phone, etc.) but I was still checking in on him and listening to what he was doing. I kept hearing his electronic toys going off and every time I checked on him, he was being good. But somehow, he managed to find a Sharpie Marker that Steve had been using in our remodeling for various things but had forgotten about. It was behind the blinds on one of the windowsills.

He colored on the wall and then put the marker back where he found it then continued to play with his toys! When I came in, I asked, “what are you doing?”

Elijah: “playing!?”

Mommy: “Oh, playing? Can I play too?” (I sat on the couch.) “…What’s that smell?”

Then I looked up and saw it. It’s across the room from the paint disaster (of NOT EVEN A WEEK AGO) and is on one of the non-paneling walls, one of the prettier walls.

This is another one that’s not totally my fault. I didn’t leave the Sharpie out, all of mine are in my desk drawer (which is guarded by a psycho insane mother me constantly) and he doesn’t get them out. And, yes, I was not actively watching him, but what am I supposed to do, follow him around all day long? I have things to get done but apparently I’m not allowed to leave him alone to play for any length of time whatsoever.

*sigh*

What am I going to do with this kid? Up until last week we had no problems like this, now twice in approximately a weeks’ time, and in our nearly finished living room, too. It couldn’t be one of the rooms we’ve not started remodeling yet, could it? No, of course not, that would make my life less stressful.

I used to have an old wav file of Cartman saying “I.Am.So.Pissed.Off.Right.Now.” I wonder whatever happened to that?
