WE TURNED A CORNER ALRIGHT...


straight into the jaws of hell!!


Every 3 hours the kids change from nice to horrible, like Dr. Jeckel and Mr. Hyde!


Remember back to your worst, most irrational PMS melt-down. Do you have the moment?

Funny later, right? So ridiculous during the melt-down you, maybe, could have laughed? It's even funnier when little people do it. My psychiatry training is coming in handy. They are like little delusional patients. You don't tell them they are being irrational, you just reassure them that things will be OK, not to lose hope, etc. Some examples : "I will NEVER get more markers!" "She's eating green beans just to make me look bad!" "Nobody loves me!"



Eventually it passes. Then they are little angels, being so loving and creative and helpful. They are still on the restaurant kick, only this morning it was a fancy restaurant - costumes required.
We are having quiet time now.

OK Now THAT is funny!

Tell Burke he can bring that little chef hat right on over to Aunt Andrea's and cook for her!

And tell Olivia that we are all cool because we are not like every body else.
And that the kids that would come to her birthday party are coming to hang out with her, not eat cake.
They never really eat the cake.

Been looking around, and if you get desperate while out and about..Penn's had grilled catfish and side salads! :)
