What is it with kids and Dirt? Ok so my backyard is a dirt
yard, there are a few patches of grass but really it’s just dirt. My kids come
in everyday from here a complete dusty mess with plumes of dust coming off
their head and clothes. We’re talking
eyes, nose, and mouth crusted with mud and gravel literally falling out of
their hair. I’m sick of it! It’s like my kids are rolling in the dirt, which I
have actually seen them doing. But damn
they don’t need to swim in it.
Now I guess I’m a little to blame here, I let my kids get
dirty. Play in the dirt, have fun, dig holes but do not cover your
brother/sister in it please. That’s all I ask but nope they can’t even follow
that rule. There is not a kid in the neighborhood
or family member that has come to our house and left our back yard clean. Kids
do what they do but is it really necessary to coat yourself in it?
I already can’t keep up with the dust that is naturally here
in this dry ass town but when you add my kids coming in brown as can be with a
dusty trail left behind, I’m just fighting a losing battle. I’m done, if come
to visit don’t expect me to dust, if you are dust sensitive don’t bother keep
yo distance, my kids don’t normally dress like this but I’m sick of dirt
stained cloths and forbid them to wear anything that resembles something normal
in my backyard. If you flip out because your kids get dirty, do not allow them
to come to play in my backyard.
I am sick of yelling get out of the dirt, quit rolling in
it, get your dirty hands out of your mouth, do not dump dirt on you brother’s
head and the dog! It’s a daily battle with my two. I mean I was cleaning dirt
out of my son’s ears last night because he had been covered; oops I’m sorry son
you can’t hear because there is a rock in your ear. I miss my Spokane backyard
it was magical in the summer and full of grass I wish I could click my sparkly
red heels and say there’s no place like home and bam we’d be back. No such luck,
but it doesn’t stop me from daydreaming.
Do you have a dirt ball, kids that just gravitate to the
dirt? Well I do and it SUCKS! Thank God for my washer and dryer because the
laundry never stops here!
My dirty girl, and I mean that quite literally!
I just made a comment and don't see it, so I must not have done it. I will do it again. I remember when we were little, my brothers and I. We dug a hole in the dirt drive-way and filled it with water. That was our swimming pool. How sad is that! Your Mother-in-law
ReplyDeleteI did the same thing, we could never get the hole to hold the water though. I think we might have even tried a trash bag in it once LOL. It was our liner haha.
