" . . . But the truth of it is that this very busy time of year has me pooped.
It's Bella's birthday week. So, besides gearing up for that and the festivities it brings, Eric's been working a few 24+ hour shifts that have us all tired.
So, here's to being more patient tomorrow, since I can always work on that.
A story for you:
While cleaning up the kitchen, a mom (who shall remain nameless) was getting sick of her older daughter tattling on every little thing her YOUNGER sister was doing to her while they were on the couch together watching a show. As in tattling, I mean yelling up the stairs, "Mom . . . she's bugging me." "Mom, she's touching me." "Mom, she's pinching me." "Mom, She won't give me fish." Etc. etc.
The mother gave the usual replies, "S, don't do that." "S, give your sister fish." "S, we share." "S, do you want to go to time out?" etc. Finally, after an excessive amount of this, in the spirit of Monk (as in the TV show), the mother yelled down, "Suck it Up!"
I am in shock. I still have no idea what would possess a mother to say such horrid things to her daughter!?!"
~~don't worry, we are better now. :)

You make me laugh. Those moments can be brutal. You have to have a sense of humor in motherhood, right? Your girls are going to be tough... Hope all is well. Love ya.
I can think of at least 100 worse things you could have said. I was hoping for something really exciting. Obviously you are too good of a mom for that.
i agree with annie...believe me, you didn't ruin her!:)
i think that's a healthy thing to say. i may try it, but I don't think it'd work with a 16 month old.
Yeah, sadly, I don't think it's THAT horrible. I love Monk tho. Tattling is an integral part of a girl's life.
Love it! Thanks for being real. Btw I support the donut eating entry. Nice play by play!
