cookie

Things Kids say that you should give them a cookie for: 1.Mmmmm.....dinner is really good mommy. 2. I love you mommy. 3. I did it all by myself! 4. Mommy, can I PLEASE have a cookie. (hey they said please) And (my favorite) 5. Mommy.....Daddy messed up again....he was wrong. (you have to love kids, they're so honest)

Women

Wow, women are horrible, horrible people sometimes. Why do we say such mean things to other women just to hurt them. It's like we'll all be best friends one minute, and then talk crap about each other behind everyone's backs. It's horrible. I almost wish that women lived their lives more like men. They don't gossip, or talk about one another. If they get mad they fight it out, and then they are friends again. It's like a magic code that after you fight it out everything is better. Women drag things on for months, or even years and bicker and talk bad about each other the whole way. I just don't understand why we live like this. It's almost like High School never ends for women. They just gossip about different things than they would in High School, about how bad of a parent someone is, or the latest who is cheating on who, or I can't believe she's wearing that, or married to him. It's horrible. It makes me wonder if people are that bored with their own lives that they need to try and stir up trouble with everyone else. I think all us women should try to start living a life more like men and not worry so much about everyone else. I'm busy enough with my hubby and three kids, and college, and life, I don't have enough time in the day for me, let alone to deal with gossip. It makes everyone stressed out and upset and honestly I think it's pointless. I mean who benefits from it anyways. The gossiper just gets an image of being nosy and someone you can't trust with a secret, and the person gossiped about will probably get a reputation she does not deserve (and even if she does who are you to decide that). So I'm going to start living a life like men without the gossip and rumors. They seem to have more fun anyways.

Irony....

Your 8 1/2 month old finally deciding to sleep through the night.........only to have your other two kids up at all hours through the night. I wonder if they planned this as well. Kids are so crazy sometimes. I can't help but laugh at this because it's finally the chance to get some sleep and I still don't get to. I don't think I'll be getting sleep until they move out of the house, and then even then I'll still probably be so worried about them that I'll be up all night anyways. A parents work is never done. I can only imagine the teenage years that are coming up so fast. Can't wait to have my revenge through grand kids. I'm going to spoil them and send them home and then when they call me complaining about how "horrible" their kids are I'll just have to laugh. But they really are all angels. They drive you crazy, but then as soon as they are fast asleep at night and you see their peaceful faces you can't help but think, "they are pretty great."

It's like a game...

Do you ever wonder if the kids sit up at night deciding who is going to be bad at what part of the day? It's like they have a plan that one minute can't go by during the day without one of them acting up or doing something to irritate adults. It's like, you'll have till lunch, I'll have till dinner and then we'll take turns till bedtime. I know they call it the terrible two's but what about the horrible threes, bossy fours, and since our oldest is only 15 days away from five I'm a little nervous to see what 5 brings. I mean no they aren't terrible every day all day, but man they know when it's the worst possible time to act up and they do. And don't forget, if mom and dad aren't looking all bets are off. Everything we've told them that isn't allowed is fair game. Because it's always the second person doing something that gets caught. I remember that from when I was young. You get hit by your sibling, you tattle, you don't hit back because it's you they'll see hitting and you'll get in trouble. I think the adventures have just begun with these three boys.
