Have I told you lately?

Have I told you guys lately that I feel like a complainer? Well, I just need to say that I don't mean to be a complainer AND I really don't mean to complain about Clay. Now, don't get me wrong, that boy is the biggest mess that I've ever known (ask any of my friends these days...as our children play they just shake their heads and laugh as Clay gears up for a fit), but I would not trade him for the nicest and most compliant of children. I mean...hey, I've always been a girl who likes a challenge. My favorite thing these days - people keep telling me how smart he is. Now the reason this makes me laugh is because everyone is helping me try to think of an excuse for his behavior. But, lets me honest here - all of our problems will be solved when his Dad gets home, right? I mean, Clif's a hero - he will swoop in to our home and save the day, right? Just kidding, I'm not that naive. But, I am thinking it will be a good change for a our little family! So, no comments needed - but this is my official apology for any complaining that I've been doing - I like to refer to it as venting - but either way I'd like to officially put an end to it...today!
By the way- here's your monkey-boy update: I went to my bedroom for about 3 or 4 minutes this morning, when I walked out I heard dishes clanging, so I quickly walked to the kitchen, no Clay, then I walked into the living room and turned to see a beaming boy, perched atop our kitchen table clanging my cute vintage flower vase against a dish. Cool. That's funny...if it's not your cute vintage vase that might have been smashed...oh the imagination that must be turning in that boy's head, I'd love to know what he's thinking!
