Particularly Peckish this Morning

I am decidedly Not SuperMom this morning.

Kid Two has decided that this particular Friday morning is Drama Day... and she's sobbing about *every*thing. I mean everything. Kid One shuts his door, and she cries. We're talking full-out wailing, in that ridiculously high-pitched wail that makes me want to stick chopsticks in my ears.

It's ten minutes after 9 in the morning, and I've just sent her back to bed.

Mean, mean mama.

All I desperately want this morning is to go throw myself headlong back into my bed... my nice, soft, bedecked-with-37-pillows bed. But noooooo. No... that would be irresponsible parenting. Instead, I have to do thinks like drag myself to the grocery store, cause good parenting says I've got to feed these chillens, and since Kid Two's birthday is Wednesday, I need to go locate something that works for birthday presents. How I'm gonna do that with her in tow, I'll never know, but it's got to be done.

And Kid One wants to play dress up... and I've realized that all of our dress-up materials are Princess themed, because you know we're singlehandedly keeping the Disney princess line in business. So... should probably find him a fireman suit, or something. I don't know about these things. Do they even make dress-up stuff for boys? And can I locate this stuff at the Wal-mart? Do I even want to go to the Wal-mart? I think not.

Le sigh. And, even though it's still early, it's HOT. Cause it's Florida and all that.

But, Mom, I don't wanna go out!!
