Roodis Mom


Yesterday we had a busy morning. We needed to go to swimming lessons, be at a birthday party, and host a baby shower all within a 2 1/2 hour time frame. Chris was at work so it was up to me to get everyone where they needed to be. I spent the morning getting Camren to her swimming lesson and then to her Birthday party. Without being too late and trying to help out with the baby shower that I was hosting. Everyone made it to where they were supposed to go and had a great time, but by the time we got home Sadie was exhausted and needed to go to sleep. She does not sleep well when it is noisy so I sent Camren and Hailey down to the playroom. Explaining to them that they could talk and have as much fun as they wanted down there, but if they stayed up stairs they would have to sit quietly and read books. They chose the playroom. So for about five minutes they went down stairs. After that every minute or so one of them would come up to see when they could come out. Each time waking Sadie up. Finally I put a chair in front of the door so that they would stay in. Explaining again that they could play and do whatever they want as along as they stayed in the playroom. Camren didn't like it that I locked them in so she wrote me a note. It says:

"Roodis mom everevrevre. Luve Camren."
Translation "Rudest mom ever ever ever. Love Camren."

So I just spent the morning stressing out to make sure her life is fun and letting them play instead of taking a nap and I get a mean note for it. While this is happening Chris comes home from work. Camren writes him a note too. It Says:

"nisis Dad Evrevrevr. Luve Camren & Hailey"
Translation "Nicest dad ever ever ever. Love Camren & Hailey"

He gets a love letter just because he comes home from work? Don't get me wrong I love it when he comes home to, but sometime you just can't win.

Ugh! It is just the life of mom isn't it! It is easy for dads. Really, they do just have to show up and play a little and there you have it, perfection in parenting! Well, good thing we get to spend the money (oh if only it could be on ourselves!!!)

totally unfair, (and typical) if I got the happy face that Renn gets just for walking in the door for ANYTHING I do all day long... but alas, not gonna happen.

that is hilarious. Kids really have their own opinion. Luckily they forget and forgive so easily!
