Its been raining and damp for the last few days and I feel like the tin man...my joints hurt with every move I make..I've been horizontal more than I have been vertical...I lay on the couch while I get decorated with toilet paper and cat food...the kids have no interest in listening me barking at them from the chair..
Today...I must regain control of this ship...I'm losing my mind....
As I was watching the cartoon Caillou yesterday I became very resentful of Caillou's mother...this woman has it all figured out...even if the kids keep her up all night..she is still not too tired to make them pancakes in their favorite shapes...her house is always clean and the kids are never messy...then she was vacuuming and Caillou interrupted her and wanted her to read a story...she didn't tell him to piss off...she stopped and read him the story...I also wondered why Rosie has red hair when neither of her parents do...it all made sense when the delivery man showed up and he had red hair....maybe mommy isn't such a saint after all...
Yes, this is what it has come to...I compare my mothering skills to that of a cartoon character....least its nice to see that Caillou's mommy never lost the baby weight..she is always in the same frumpy red sweater...
Linda took the kids for a sleepover last night...as much as I would just love to sleep and watch TV all day...I really need to clean the basement, bathrooms and Leah and James' room...that will just about take all the time they are gone...
I'm counting down the days until I can pass out under a palm tree...soon my lovelies...
