I guess my weekend was pretty good after all. Reading everyone else’s complaints is positively therapeutic.

Dear Mayor & Rooster:

Why do you sleep until 7:30 a.m. on WEEKDAYS and 4:30 on weekends?

Villains.

I actually read somewhere that some people actually did a study (this is the part that schocks me …) that cats can tell the difference between adult people and kid people. This being the case, cats, understanding that kid people (especially baby people) are not, um, too smart or cat-broken, cut them slack that they do not, erm, cut for you and me.

Weird eh?

Who thought to study this stuff?

And, we gave up the cloth diapers at 7.5 months. The leaks, and also, wouldn’t fit under HER PANTS! She couldn’t bend at the waist, it was so tight in there …

Why do we even try to pretend that a 7th graders homework is not really the homework of the entire family? We all know that when one, young, slightly immature boy is supposed to write a paper on earthquakes, it means we ALL will be learning more than we ever wanted to know about earthquakes. Why must we continue in this charade? It would be easier if the homework came home addressed to mom, dad and any siblings in the house, “Dear family, Here are your assignments for the weekend…”

Instead of Bridge Mixture, see if you can find chocolate-covered jube jubes. Guaranteed no nuts!

Why is it that my husband can close the door to defecate and the child cares not at all, but the moment I need to pee or take care of business, a cacophony of needs arise that must be addressed RIGHT THAT MINUTE?

Why are Cheetos bad for me?

Why did The Poo give up her nap at 27 months?

Why does everyone else in my husband’s extended family get to have their ideal Christmas, while he and I and their only grandchild have to travel on both Chirtsmas eve and day in order to satisfy their need to spend time with us over the holiday, no matter if it means that we have to tell our child that Santa slips in the tailpipe?

I’m sitting here reading blogs while in the midst of an early morning temper tantrum of an attention seeking 5 yr old who’s about to get more attention than he wants!

Ugh! I’m trying to play the “ignore it” card but it hasn’t worked yet.

Anyhow, the chocolate sounds good right now

Yeah, we’ve given up the weekend naps for the toddler. Just ain’t happenin’.

But you lost me at chocolate-covered gummies.

I think O won’t sleep because he doesn’t want to waste hometime-with-his-’rents by sleeping. It is flattering, just think of it like that. It might make things easier.

Cats are crazy. There is just no two ways about that.

Cloth diapers kicked my ass. My kids peed like geysers and I became Huggies’ bitch in record time.

Feel better.

Why is it that my cherubic 15 month old daughter is an ANGEL for her father, her brother, her sister, the church nursery, any babysitters to speak of, but becomes a clingy crying mess crawling along behind me insisting she be held every freakin moment the second I walk in the room.

Hey. Thanks for the permission to vent.
