Mother's Day is Coming!

This morning as soon as my cute little toes hit the floor my big ugly mouth started nagging. CJ turned on the tv and the girls were not fully ready for school yet. Ok? Let that sentence sink in and marinate a little on your grey matter.

My children are absolutely incapable of performing normal day to day functions if the TV is on.

Oh course they inherited that wierdo gene from me but we are not talking about me right now. (Who am I kidding? I love attention. We will talk about me in just a little bit) Laney still had three major needs to tend to and CJ had his goofy monster truck show on, turning the dear girl into a zombie eyed drooling mess. She still needed to put on socks and shoes, brush her teeth, and attempt to tame her chronic case of bed hair. So as soon as I finally dragged myself out of bed my mouth started like................. just so I don't call myself ugly names, um, you fill in the blank.

Laney was quickly chastised and CJ was lit into so bad that it caused him to turn the TV off and make a hasty retreat to work. Suddenly he was conscience about being late, who knew? Finally both girls were ready for school and the TV was turned back on. A little to myself and aloud to the growing jungle of cobwebs above my head I said this lovely gem. "Because Mother's Day is coming I just felt the overwhelming need to nag somebody. I can't miss out on the chance to earn more Mommy Points."

Laney and Andrea about snapped their heads off of their tiny necks to quickly give me disapproving glances. Laney said that maybe this year she didn't want to celebrate Mother's Day. I promptly told her that I do want to raise children that had the conviction to stand by their choices no matter what. I also thanked her on making the decision to not want to celebrate a holiday because that made it easier for me. I then told the girls that I no longer want to celebrate Christmas. It is just so expensive, and tiring and time consuming. I would love to take that whole month to just sit back and relax. Think of all the money Chris and I could save and even put some into a savings account so we could go to Greece!

Laney slumped down and kinda melted into the couch. "Fine I can make a card or something for Mother's Day."

Oh little girl you will. You will.
