It's the a.m. Trying to get three kids out for school is it's own kind of insanity. Invariably someone doesn't feel well, doesn't need to go to school that day (we're not doing anything interesting today- really!!), or they couldn't sleep and why can't I go to school late.......? Small children have their own issues, but I'd take small ones over these larger cranky individuals most days. When they were little, all I had to do was invoke some higher power "Dad needs you to get up now- please!!" Now, if I touch upon my rage or frustration with their bed ridden affect- all I get is "Mom, go away!! You are so annoying!!" Such a pleasure- parenthood at 7:45 a.m. on Thursday, January 21st, 2010.
