I missed them so much last week. I felt like I didn't know who I was. I thought about them and looked at their pictures. I wondered if they were thinking about me.
They were not. They were living the High Life. Mimi staged a Golf Cart Scavenger Hunt, complete with 2 golf carts and 11 or 12 clues... there were about 6 or 7 kids involved. They stayed in their PJ's until time to get in their bikini's. They ate what they wanted, they slept when they wanted, they swam when and where they wanted. I'm just a bit jealous, really.
When I dropped LLM off at the Academy of Little Monster's, she whined and almost cried. I felt so sad in the heart. I thought about her all day. When I went and picked her up, she cried for Mimi. We looked at pictures on the computer, and she cried for the golf cart.
Why do we want what they can't have? Why don't they cooperate? If I want them to sit down to eat dinner, I have to give them the 5 minute warning. If I want them to take a bath, I have to mentally prepare them and give them 5 minutes to mentally prepare. Once they get in the tub I have to give them a 5 minute warning to mentally prepare to get out of the tub. Same with bedtime. If I don't give them the mental prep time, all hell breaks loose. When all hell breaks loose- that makes me want to talk in the Momma voice. No one wants to be spoken to in the Momma voice.
It is almost 9:00 and they are still roaming around saying they are board. I'm going to teach them to do laundry. That will fix 'em.

OM!! Its like we are living in the same house.. The Diva does not do well with change.. at all, we are all about prep time and options "do you want Mommy to brush your teeth or DaddY?"
wears my ass out!
I hear ya. It's the same way at this house. I wish someone would mentally prepare me for transitions...
My boys are the same. exact. way. I put my meany face on though... no mommy voices here. I unleash the fro. Just kidding, fro is not appropriate for the little ones, but the meany face works every time.
Same way around here. Mine would totally have no problem moving out and hanging with Grammy & Pa forever.
Nice to know we're loved huh?
