That makes me tired. I give you props.
We're not the only ones! Except you are doing this single-handed. One day Jooj will build a statue in your honor.
"baby maker" - that made me laugh. Not that she kicked you there - that you called it that.
Lately it's been the 5 am bed sneak.
"HI MAMA! I WANT MAMA'S BED"
"Shhhh"
"NO I WANT TO STAY HERE. I WANT SOME BREAKFAST. CAN I STAY HERE?"
"Shhh. Lay down"
"NO I WANT TO LAY HERE I WANT SOME COCOA AND TOAST AND LAY HERE IN MAMA'S BED."
Even in the stark daylight of this post, my offer to accept a Fedexed Jooj still stands - anytime you want/need to take me up on it. But, you will take her back won't you? ;)
You deserve a medal, my friend .. or at least a massage and a lifetime supply of something gooey and decadent, and yet calorie free (I predict the person who invents such a thing will be the Bill Gates of the future). Alas, all I can offer is sympathy.
BTW, can't you find some Mia Maid in your ward to give you a night off? I mean, really, what good are teenagers unless they're providing a mental health evening for mothers of toddlers? Honestly, I blame Britney Spears for the whole thing ;)
Benadryl.
Reading this made me tired.
I think you need a sabbatical, not a vacation.
Or some virgin daquiries and a hot pool boy named Paco to rub massage oil all over your tired body. Yes, that sounds like the cure.
And holla for bringing back the corner stand as a consequence. That's right I said holla.
2nd of all... send jooj straight to me if she wants to listen to "irreplaceable" on repeat.
I start singing this song to Paul when he annoys me.
to the left, to the left
I was tired by the first Beyonce set.
You do need a vacation!
Come to Provo?
Oh my....I'm exhausted just reading this.
The Beyonce song must have been Dejavu, because that sounded like my day yesterday. But instead of forcing the dreaded diaper change, i was trying to get poo stains out of the carpet.
Children of the Corn middle of the night stare cracked me up.
