not winnin' any awards tonight...

man. i. am. grumpy.

seriously.

just a grouch. could be because both my 3 and 1 year old have decided to say "no" to everything (with varying degrees of defiance) for the last three days. could be because i am a raging ball of hormones. could be because i have to go back to work (school) on monday. could be because i am extra-tired today. could be because...well, i think you get the picture.

i almost feel sorry for my kids. almost. had i not started to apologize and then heard "no" (just teasing!)

so i gave up the regimen tonight. not supermom right now. the kids are eating dinner, and the backyardigans are on. yup. that's right. tv on during mealtime. a habit we are not cultivating, and yet, it is working so well to keep them occupied...and the manners are good right now...i wonder why not? (i know....it's terrible)

and the boy has learned a new word. (he is actually learning a ton of words right now, but this one is extra-amusing!) he was getting his diaper changed..and i was talking with him about his socks, and his stinky pants...and then he grabbed his shirt and said....clear as day..."sh!t"

seriously. so i laughed. (oops) guess who has a new favorite word?

Wow---is it already THAT time of the month again??? I thought you were'nt having those any longer. So Bobby aint gettin none now eh?
OK--I'm sorry--but I know as an uncle I can get away with some things others can't.
Hey-we all have our days, and week and even weeks. ---if it last longer than that--THEN you have a problem.
