I must have been having a really bad day and my mom didn't answer her phone lol.
A Mother's Misery I'm sitting here quietly thinking about the way I've spent this day, wondering if it was different than what I did yesterday. I've made the beds, bathed the kids changed their dirty butts, washed the clothes, scrubbed the floors and fed the lousy mutt. Only to find an hour later an odor in the air, one of them kids done shit their drawers and another is pulling his brother's hair. I find myself screaming my lungs out like it does me any good, it only makes my throat sore and I swear my kids knew it would. I was watching the news today they were talking about child abuse, they said people who beat their kids ain't got no damn excuse. I'd like to get that son of a bitch to come stay here for a day, let him go back on the show tomorrow and see what he has to say. Kids they're such a blessing now who in the world said that, they sure as heck don't have no kids I know that for a fact! They wait until you're busy planning their strategy, all the sudden all hell breaks loose they're like their own little army out to irritate me. I try my best to bare it grinding my teeth down to the gums, all the while under my breath I'm calling my husband a lousy scum. That S.O.B has it easy goes to work from 9 to 5 leaves me with these little beasts and tells me "You'll survive". Now what the heck does he know he hardly ever babysits, on rare occasions when he does he throws a fricken fit. He's never changed a dirty diaper I don't think he ever would, He always says "That's your job honey" I doubt he even could. When he comes through the door at night plops his ass right on the couch, says "What's for supper babe and why you such a grouch"! Wake up and smell the coffee you don't know what I've been through, now tonight I'm supposed to play porno queen like I got nothing else better to do. I might just have to cut this short cause I just heard a crash, one of them kids is at it again and it's time to bust their ass! Have you ever been on the phone or answering the door, only to turn around to a box of Fruit Loops all over the floor? Then there's my personal favorite I have to quickly mention, the food fights round the table that get my damn attention. That's when I pull out the handcuffs from the local five and dime, chain their asses to the bed finally the last laugh is mine! For those of you who have no kids heed my warning if you will, get yourself some birth control and don't forget to take your pill! Written By Kathy J Parenteau Copyright © 1989 All Rights Reserved

You know what they say, Parenting....The first 40 years are the hardest and, Insanity is hereditary. You get it from your kids.
Hang in there.

LOL!!! Been there too hun!! Yup they are little terrorists. I used to send them to their rooms, and told them to sort out their problems before they come out. That usually works after 10-15 min. both will come out smiling told me they are friends again. Well, at least I had the 15 min. in total serenity to myself to watch the TV.

Sandie :o)
