WTF Friday

[Lakes]

Why does it feel like a Monday?! Dd was up at 3 and 5, I finally brought her into bed a little before 6. She did not go back to sleep. The kids are being so loud and antagonizing each other (how can that start this early?!) and everyone is touching me. By 7, I was done.



Then I put pirate booty in a bowl for ds because he was struggling with the bag. I told him "that a bowl would be easier than a crumply old bag." As I was walking out of the room mh said "your mom is a crumply old bag."



I thought he said it to ds implying that I was the old bag. He meant to direct it to me implying that my mom was the grumpy old bag (accurate). There was a moment when he feared for his life when I slowly leaned my head back into the room. I'm laughing so hard thinking about it now. It was like a scene straight out of a movie 😂

Lakes I'm cracking up! That's the best "your mom" I've heard in a while. Oh but for the rest though, I'm so sorry. The crappy sleep is rough! And yes! My two antagonize each other all day long, I thought I had a few years before that started.

I'm here, Hiding in my bed. I just woke up and I can hear mh and ILs eating breakfast, I don't hear kids yet though so I'm staying put. I'm still feeling under the weather and might just take advantage of the ability to nap today. Get my kids set up with what they need and peace out back to my bedroom.

meeggaannw it felt good to use my teacher face. I'm glad to see I haven't lost my touch! I hope you get to rest up today!

meeggaannw, I hope you H is on his game this weekend and doesn't man-cold it out leaving you to your ILs!

I'm working from home today. I had high hopes of getting lots of chores done, but I'm SWAMPED.

E was up from 2-4. I either have a slight cold or real bad allergies either way it's annoying. I just want to sleep.

[peaseblossom55]

Lakes that was hysterical.

[meeggaannw]

Okay so this just might be cracker eating at this point but why does everything dd does have to be pretty? "Oh those are pretty circles you are drawing" "don't bite that you might hurt your pretty little teeth" ...

[Lakes]

meeggaannw yes! If dd is in a neutral onesie there is no comment from the grandparents but if she's in a dress it's all "you're so pretty and beautiful", etc. And all the "you're my princess" crap! Fil has learned to say "princess warrior" around me at least.

[judyblume14]

I don't mind people complimenting my girls as being "pretty." As long as they also encourage and compliment them for things like being kind, strong, smart, funny, etc.

[judyblume14]

Because, let's be honest. My kids are flipping adorable.

[meeggaannw]

I'm okay with pretty, but it's like the only compliment. It honestly comes from all the olds. I mean are circles really "pretty"?

[thelittleredm]

Omg Lakes 😂 I can just see your face after that comment. Hahahahaha!

Today was SO SLOW at work. It just drug along. I was supposed to take the boys to a cookout at DS1's school but I'm too over today to bother since I'd be single parenting there. But H and I are meeting my coworkers at one of those brewery/movie theater combos to see It tonight
