Diversions…
Okay, let’s admit it. We adults don’t always practice what we preach. Oh, c’mon….if you are 100% honest, you just know that you “sometimes” hope the kids won’t catch you doing something “wrong”! Take for instance…..
Yup, last night, when I was supposed to be getting ready for bed, I stretched out on the bed and played several games of Bubble Breaker in the dark! It was just sooo addictive!(and, it was “only” 10:33….not quite bedtime!)
This morning, I realized that I hadn’t really pressed the Panasonic camera as far as taking photos of bugs, hummingbirds, and things like that. So, instead of being a good example and working before playing, I wandered outside to take some photos! Hey, I AM an adult after all, right?
Michelle giggled as I resized the photo above and saved it as “bumm, bumm, bumblebee bum”! I couldn’t believe how deeply that little bumblebee was working, gathering pollen, and nearly disappearing!
And, speaking of “bums”….
I am totally embarrassed to show a photo of my kitchen as it is a MESS! We had planned to remodel it last summer, but the plans fell through. I guess Mark thinks I am not quite capable of doing the work myself, even though I am quite confident I could do the work.
Having said that, here is what I should have been doing…namely, washing those dishes sitting in the sink….you cannot see all the ones sitting on the counter!
Yes, but……(said in my most “whiny” voice)
How can I do dishes when *that* window is just above the kitchen sink? You know, the window with the hummingbird feeder hanging nearby?
That happens to be a male hummingbird, by the way!
So, how can I possibly reprimand my kids when they are enjoying their diversions?

Fantastic pictures of the hummingbird boy! I like the bum shots too, LOL!
Great shots!! and there is nothing wrong with playing a video game… on my night stand is my PSP and my Nintendo DS. I play something almost every night before I go to sleep. It’s a great way to put my mind on something other than my day that just happened or the day still to come. Also for the most part adults can do as they want, as that is one of the advantages of being an adult
Do not feel guilty for taking some “you” time.
Oh my husband has just got bubble breaker and it’s the most hypnotic thing isn’t it!
I think I may just have to try out Bubble Breaker!!! Just what I need…another diversion!!
Kids learn from us doing the ‘wrong’ things as well as the ‘right’ ones!
As for the dishes, ‘mess’ as well as ‘beauty’ is in the eye of the beholder. That just shows a lived-in house.
