That Last Post Sucked!

2007-05-15

Is there a happy thought left at this late hour?  I hate staying home all day!  It was just me and my 5-year-old daughter and a mounting list of responsibilities.  I love my daughter.  I LOVE my daughter.  She is the queen of imaginative ways to wreak havoc.  Things I've actually had to say out loud to the girl:

Scissors are for paper, not cat whiskers. 
Scissors are only for the paper Mommy says you can cut. 
Scissors are not toys! 
No, you can't use Mommy's toothbrush on the cat. 
Soap and toothpaste are not the same thing. 
Mommy's toothbrush is not a toy!! 
DVDs are not frisbees. 
Cats don't appreciate Shiatsu massage. 
Cats don't need body lotion.  
Little girls cannot fly.  Yes, they can if they're in an airplane, but you are not in an airplane.  Go potty now!  Do not stop to pet the kitty.  Do not stop to get a drink of water!! 
You do not have an evil twin and nothing you say is going to convince me that she made the mess and went outside to play.
Your hair will grow back if you cut it off, but your fingers won't!
The TV screen is not a drum.
Do not use my phone to take a picture of the cat's butt.

She's only 5!  I didn't hate being with her all day.  I just hated feeling like I didn't accomplish as much as I should've and that what I did get done came at the expense of paying attention to her.  Life is never boring when she's around.  Either of my kids, for that matter.  They're both so full of life.  Intelligent, outgoing, funny, and just a little nuts, like their mother.  There, that's my happy thought for the day.  Tomorrow, I will try to start my day with a happy thought!
