Because eenie meenie minie mo

What the frick was that?!!! I come running from the other room because it sounds like a class five disaster.  God forbid I be in the basement because everything sounds like a trip to the ER from down there.  Luckily its just a giant basket of toys I had on a shelf....wait for it...
that one of the twins had climbed up and catapulted off.   When I ask, 'Why did you do that?'  She replies, 'Because eenie meenie minie mo.'
So cute, right? 
Ya, it was.  Now we are on the millionth eenie meenie minie mo and I'm starting to loose it.  Now I'm calling bs on the naughty sh*$.  I mean I called it earlier but no one was listening so now I'm really calling it.
I know sometimes we do things we shouldn't and we can't explain why but I'm this close (I'm holding my fingers VERY close together) to calling in an exorcism. Eenie meenie minie mo my ass!
I don't understand why the twins won't go to sleep at bedtime and then why they wake up at 5:45.  If I ran like they did I would only be awake from 9-5.  Also why do they feel the need to run opposite directions, preferably in a crowed area?  My inability to herd my children is shameful.  I don't understand my six year old daughter crying over every little thing.  Yesterday it was because I told her she looked like a chipmunk (she had stuffed cereal in her cheeks). Uh, sorry, get over it!  I mean is there some pre-PMS thing I'm unaware of?? 
I don't understand why my four year old can't walk anywhere, only running.  Although I did see him doing the grapevine the other day and was impressed.  Also, why can't he use an 'inside voice' ever or at least stop shouting 'LING, LING, LING!!!!'.  He may need meds.  And above all, why is no one listening to me!!!!???? 
Whatever.  I guess because eenie meenie minie mo.  Carry on.

Gateway Pets and Unsatisfied Customers

'I want a dog!' The one phrase most parents anticipate and dread all at once.  You know it's coming.  It's only a matter of time. However, maybe like me, you think lets get ahead of the game and try to satisfy these people with a low maintenance replacement pet. A fish.  Yes.  They don't take up much room or cost much.  They don't move or destroy things like every other living thing in your house.  The upkeep is minimal and if they die, oh well, you flush them down the toilet and have a cup of tea. Sadly, kids like fish for about a week.  That's the shelf life of excitement on a fish.  Then all the sudden you're scrubbing a bowl weekly, conditioning water and feeding a pet that doesn't have the ability to love.  Lame. After the fish, they will come at you with something else.  For us it was parakeets.  My oldest wanted a parakeet.  But then she said we should go ahead and get two because they do better in pairs.  ...

Pet Peeves

As I arrive at the hospital,the guy with the oversized golf cart pulls up and asks me if i need a ride. I am in the front row, only steps from the door and clearly able bodied. I reply, 'I think I'm good'. The golf cart guy insists and expresses his concern 'I may get too hot'....and I think this is just one of the things wrong with the world. Which leads me into all the things that currently are getting my goat starting with number one: 1. People that are too lazy to walk 10 feet which also includes people that park in handicap spots that aren't handicapped. 2. Stupid people--today it was the woman at Walgreens that told me to wait for my photos because she thought they would be ready in a minute and 20 minutes later when I asked about them she went and checked and low and behold she hadn't put any paper in the machine and instead of apologising, she giggles. Not kidding. 3. Any Starbucks employee that puts water in my soy chai no water. 4. People tha...

Reality Check Please

It's seven a.m. I've just hit the switch on the kettle and am starring out the window willing the four voices in the background to be quiter. (Can't a girl ease in to her day??!) My five year old who starts kindergarten in the fall pipes up...'Excuse me mommy, could I get a cup of hot water with a slice of lemon please?' This thought crosses my mind: ass beating. Yes, will she get her ass beat at school??? I will now list things I've encountered, recently, that may or may not get my child beat up in public schools: 1. Asking for hot water/tea with a slice of lemon 2. Being obsessed with hand sanitizer 3. Correcting grammar 4. Saying you prefer quinoa over brown rice 5. Telling everyone you enjoy spending your summers in Scotland 6. Telling boys you love them just to drive them mental. 7. Saying 'Actually' and the proceeding to correct others inaccuracies. Ex: Look at that lava Isla. Actually, that is under the ground so it is called...
