A lesson learned from a 3 year old in trouble!


UGH! All I wanted to get done while Christopher was at camp was my RS Newsletter! Is that too much to ask!?? Well, it was. While I was at the computer, Anneli was in the bathroom going "you know what". Anyways, I heard the toilet flush twice and then I heard water flowing! I jumped up as she entered the office..."the toilet" she yelled! I raced in and sure enough the toiled was overflowing due to probably a half roll of toilet paper. UGH! I so didn't have time for this! Her "clogging wipe" wasn't very successful , so I cleaned her up and stuck her in the tub as I unclogged the toilet and mopped up the floor and sanitized it. All the while, I was not a happy mommy! Then as I was working and sputtering to myself, my sweet little Anneli started singing, "I am a Child of God, and he has sent me here, has given me an earthly home with parents kind and dear." Awwww!!!! At that moment I was humbled and felt real bad. She was helping me trying to wipe her own little bum so I could get my work done...it wasn't her fault that her trying to help me caused me a ton of work! Oh well, but I now have a sparkling clean bathroom and a finished RS Newsletter! Thanks Anneli!
