lesson learned
Me: Kiera, time to go to bed...time to go potty.
Kiera: but I just WENT potty Yesterday!
Other news: I decided to put up my Christmas lights on my house independently today since it gets dark around 4:30 and Steve doesn't get home until 5:30 and we have plans for the next few saturdays so I saw no prospective time of putting them up with his help. Portions of it I could do from my 3-step ladder and parts of it required getting on the roof for. I figured I didn't want to be on the roof while Kiera started hurting Lydia or something so I took them in and put food and a show in front of them (lydia strapped in her high chair) and then I'd do Christmas lights and go check on them every 5 minutes or so. I climbed to the top of my ladder, stepped on to the top of my 1 inch wide gate and lifted myself unto the roof. I did a great job making our house look festive for 5 minutes and then decided it was time to get down. Getting down was not nearly as easy as getting up. From a sitting position I couldn't get my feet to touch the top of the gate without a little free-falling which was very risky considering I couldn't really see it and it was only 1 inch wide. What would you do in that situation? I almost jumped down a few times convinced that all of those "jumping lessons' we had in British school would saving me from getting hurt. But I decided against it. My next door neighbor was out working on his car but I was too prideful to ask for help. After an extra 3-4 mins of being up there I decided on the free falling to the gate option which felt quite unsafe but I succeeded in not killing myself. Lesson learned.
