Don’t like banana’s never have, never will. I will eat the occasional banana flavored item (as long as its artificial flavoring) but that is about as far as it goes! My girls like them, I am glad, but I hold back dry heaves every time I open one for them.
I can’t wait to give lines like “you think I have no idea what you are up to…but I do”. and “I was your age once too”, because I know that it will make them want to die on the spot just like I did when my mom said it. Some day we will revel together when their daughters are rolling their eyes and mouth off just like they did, just like I did…the cycle continues.
Right this very minute Ava is in her room laying on her floor (which is currently the entire contents of her bookshelf, toy box, all of her shoes and stuffed animal shelf) screaming her little head off about not picking up her room. “I NOT DO IT, DADDY COME HOME, WHAAHHHHH”…is what I have heard for about the last 15 minutes. I’m not going in there.
Sydney (AKA: ATTITUDE) is in her room, pouting and probably mumbling obscenities about me because she too is grounded to her room until all of the eleventy billion shoes and clothing articles are picked up off the floor and her CD’s and books are not strewn all over her bed, dresser, floor and closet.
I had high hopes for today. I really did. The little “I will” list down there. I might as well delete it. So far nothing on that list has been completed. Accept the one about coming when my children answer. I’ve done that only because every single time we have communicated today has been some sort of cry, yell, howl or whine. I ended up going to the office today AFTER I spent almost the entire morning on the computer rectifying a quickbooks issue. This was preceeded by waking up late and throwing yet another bowl of fruity pebbles at them before we rushed out the door. I’ve snapped at my husband several times…and especially after the 43975 phone calls of “did you fix it yet?”. I haven’t even thought about my camera and the dog groomer is now closed.
Remember number one on that list, how I wasn’t going to get disappointed. Well, fuck it. I’m pissed. This day was a waste in my book. I’m still going to try and turn the evening around. I’m going to fold the clothes that are already clean, start plugging away at the loads that need to be washed. I’m going to make a great dinner (baked potatoes, peppercorn pork tenderloin and corn on the cob) and continue with the laundry. At some point I’m going to pull out my camera and also go for a run whether its outside or on the treadmill at the gym. By the time I hit the pillow tonight, I just might feel better about how the day ended up. However right now, in this very moment I don’t feel so accomplished. I feel defeated..where is my white flag?
~ try not to get discouraged when my whole to do list isn’t completed.
~ break a sweat at the gym….instead of just showing up and going through the motions, I’m going to work hard and push myself.
~ not use the phrase “one sec” or “in a minute”. My kids deserve my attention when they ask for it sometimes 
~ make an appointment for the dog to get groomed
~ Play with my camera settings Want to make sure I don’t disappoint for a certain someones upcoming nuptials!
~ finish the laundry
~ help the girls clean their rooms, they both get so frustrated with clothes in their drawers.
~ talk nicely to my husband even when he calls and then says “hi, crap I can’t remember why I called you!”..
~ make my kids a hot breakfast if they ask for it. Most days its cereal, pop tarts or the like and I say things like “today needs to be quick breakfast day” or “eat something easy”…
~ go to bed now..since its 1230am…and “today” has begun!
As I have talked about before music is a pretty intigral part of my life. I love it, we listen to music more often than we watch TV at this house. My taste in music is pretty much all over the place. So I thought it would be fun to pick some songs that I love each month. This is a hard task for me. I have about 204867575931 songs that I love. So here are the top 50 for the month of May ha, yes, this was painful to narrow it down but I am comforted by the fact that I get to pick 50 more for next month!
