Last week, I failed to post the link up... I had the very rare opportunity to be kid free and go on a date with my hunnie, so I did.
This week, I have been unreasonable for the following reasons:
1. Lena spent last weekend at my parent's house. When Sunday rolled around and it was time to come home, she really didn't want to. She insisted that she would much rather live with Gramma. I get this, who wouldn't want to live with their Gramma? They are so much more fun than a boring old mommy who makes you do things like eat healthy food for breakfast, shower, and go to bed on time. However, I still feel strongly that she belongs here with me, at least until she's ready to head off to college. I'm so unreasonable!
2. I made her put away her clean laundry before heading to her friend's house. "Again mom? You're just going to have to wash it later anyway!" While this is certainly an inevitable fact of not allowing her to go naked to school, Anne's lower bunk is not meant to be used as a dresser during the week when she's not here. Yes, my dear, it belongs in the closet. I'm so unreasonable!
3. I wanted to take her picture while we decorated the yard for Halloween. I recall a point in time where she would smile very big for me whenever I pulled out the camera... Now she runs away screaming as if I had a hot poker in my hand that I was trying to jab her in the eye with. This was the best I could get of her because she would only allow me to capture the moment if her face was covered. Heaven forbid I wanted an actual picture of my child smiling and hanging bloody spiderweb as we decked out for our favorite holiday . I'm so unreasonable!
4. This is my final day of the crazy eliminate overtime schedule and I don't have to be to work until 9am. In the interest of not sitting in my work parking lot for an hour (like I did on Tuesday) I refused to drive her into school and made her take the bus. I robbed her of extra kitty time, because selfishly I wanted to enjoy my extra hour and not get out of my jammie's until forced. That being said... I took her to the bus stop... Dressed like this <-------. Oh yes folks, I arrived at the bus stop in all my polka dotted, slip on dress shoes, disheveled hair, fleecy hoodie, no-bra yet glory. She may actually have me with this one. I'm so unreasonable!
How unreasonable where you this week? Leave me a comment and let me know!
