Mom-in-training

Did you know I seriously stink sometimes at being a good momma? For instance, did you know that my 8 yr old knows everything there is to know about installing patio paver stones? Neither did I. Can I say freely, without being judged too harshly that... SHE WAS DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!!!! She had a bit of a "know-it-all" thing going on and I actually asked her to please stop talking. Then I said, if you don't have something nice to say, don't say it. I know, I know... I'm not proud... but have you ever been busting your hiney for 3 days, muscles that you didn't know existed are aching and then your precious angel asks why your complaining because she carried more stones then I did. That is why some species eat their young.

I did redeem my tempermental momma state when I took the kids to the mall yesterday... We walked all around, we jumped in the sling shot thing a ma bob. They purchased goodies with the little Easter money they received. And I spotted these items of pure joy...

Am I in a time warp? Is it 1986? If only I still had my box of awesome clothes from then, my kids could be sporting authenic 80's garb.

Don't forget, contest ends at 5pm EST today. If you were considering following, NOW is a good time to link up, if you were working on a friend... light a fire under their hiney.
