One Cruel Mother.
My kids hate me today.I am one cruel mother.
Why?
Because it is pouring outside. With high wind warnings. Just plain nasty weather.So yesterday, hubby and I decided that we are all staying home today. We just didn't need to go anywhere. And it would force us to tie up some loose ends of things in the house. You know the things that get pushed aside when working on a huge project. So that is our plan.
And, kids - I am speaking to you - that means...
No skateboarding at the indoor skate park today Justin. No Friendly's, no movies. You are staying home. Really, Justin. I realize it is a new concept, staying home. But that is what you are doing.
No going to the Mall, Caci. That $15 in babysitting money and Limited Too 20% off coupon in your pocket will wait until another day. Just because you think you are a superstar and that I should cater to your every whim and need - I am not your assistant, my dear.
Johnny, he will not get to turn in his recycling cans to add to his change collection in which he wanted to cash in and buy some goldfish, or rather beta fish, today. Where he even came up with that idea is totally beyond me, we will be having no more pets!!! No, Johnny - nope. Staying home.
And Joey, my dear Joey. We know you love to run around in the in the leaves and ride your bike through your little piles you are building all over the yard. And really, I know that you don't care that you will be getting drenched in the rain. You are in the house - no fresh air for you!
Kiddos - hear me again - you are all in the for the day.
And I have heard it from each of them at least three times that they don't care, and I am just being mean, and I don't care about them, that it is the weekend... blah. blah. blah.
Spoiled Brats!
They have no clue what a cruel mother really is - so I will take my new little title with a grain of salt.
