“Not today Satan!!”
-a mama short
Have you ever had one of those moments where you are just like, “nope, this is not happening” and you hightail it out of there? I just had the most “nope” moment of my life. Rough couple of days with the kids, Hunk-a-chunk isn’t feeling good and is refusing sleep, my mom has been out of commission with her appendix and all of us are tired, so the house is a mess. Kids go to bed and I decide to tackle the laundry. Collect it from all over the house in the hidey-holes the kids use when they are too “exhausted” to follow simple instructions.
By the time I’m done the laundry basket is full of towels, underpants and bathing suits. All of the summer necessities that we are running low on (so low that boo had to wear bathing suit bottoms for half the day because she had no underpants). I start to go downstairs and out of the corner of my eye I see movement. Now the kids are in bed, Jesse is in California, and none of my animals have figured out how to climb the walls just yet but I hope for a miracle flying dust bunny and casually look over where all the coats hang(because I am mature and logical adult so there must be a simple explanation) And what do I see when I turn my head? Is it a spot of dust, cat hair or any other acceptable thing to see?? Nope. It’s some kind of multi-legged creature from the depths of hell hiding out in Jesse’s sweatshirt. I can’t even see the whole thing and I saw at least 20 legs, each an inch long. NOPE. I was halfway down the stairs but there was no way I was walking by this demon and letting him attack me from behind. NOPE. So I noped it right out of there and ran upstairs. Tried to send an SOS to my dad since I know laundry is at a critical point right now. No response.
So I did the only reasonable and mature thing and shut the basement door, offering it as a sacrifice to the demon. Laundry is still sitting in the kitchen and logically the only thing we can do until help arrives is buy new underpants and towels. Because I’m not being taken down by no huge ass creepy crawly. Not today Satan. Nope.
