I am interrupting my trip report with a late breaking report. It’s an excuse of sorts, to explain what in the world is taking me so long to get my next chapter out…
Who & What is causing this momma to be off her rocker? I’ll give you one guess…
It’s one word…
TINK!
I seem to not be able to turn my back on this child for any amount of time. Last weekend, she was sicker than sick with a temp ranging from

102-105…today she is like a steamroller, destroying everything in her path.
It appears that with her renewed health, she has made a choice to be naughtier than naughty. She kept days of energy bundled up inside of her self for when she felt better…then POP…super crazy child came out!
Yesterday’s adventures included hiding in our house from me.
I had just bathed her, lubed her up with lotion and put a diaper on her. When I went to put clothes on her, she took off running. After searching for her, in her normal hideouts…I gave up! I figured she’d come out sooner or later…
So I went back to tending to Lil’l Diz Man, who too was getting out of the bath. After getting him situated, I heard a ‘bump’ downstairs and then silence…
I snuck down to find TINK standing on a stool intended for the center island, which was pushed up my pantry cabinets. She was digging in the top cabinets, dumping out my spices on herself and the floor… These cabinets start at my shoulders…
This isn't even 1/10 of the mess...the rest in on the floor, her face & hair (I edited the photo due to lack of clothing).
Today’s Tink-a-thon included her stripping herself completely and trying on all of her clothes in her drawers… This was in the short time it took me to dry my hair…. Just 2 minutes before we needed to go pick up DB from preschool!
When she sees me sit down on the computer, she runs over and yells, “MOMMEE NO…NO… UPPEE UPPEE…MIIINE…MIIINE”
So, if I am taking too long…you know why…
I’m chasing TINK!
I’m working on it…
I promise!
