A popsicle at 9 a.m.? Seriously? Well, why not. Eat it outside so you don't drip on my floor.
Ok, you can watch Lord of the Rings
upstairs in my room
even though you haven't practiced piano yet
just lock the door
so Rafe and Holland don't come in and get scared.
Don't tell Dad.
Fine, have cereal for a snack. Just put it away when you're done and give the little kids some if they see you eating it. Leave me alone- I'm almost done. I just got to check Facebook.
Conner, it's 10:30 and you're still up? Make sure you turn the lights off. Dad and I are going to bed.
Kind of being a pushover is a nice break from saying NO all the time. On Monday we'll get back to a schedule again, get up for school, eat balanced meals and snacks, do homework, practice piano, do chores, go to bed at a healthy hour.
Until then
we're on Spring Break.

I had to add this picture of a mom I can relate to.

Hi Jenna!
Strange comment here-I am trying to locate your bro. Jeff's address.
We want to ensure he gets his invite to our 15 year class reunion. Can you help a sista out.
Email me: kananihep@yahoo.com
Thanks, Kanani Kaaiakamanu-Hepworth
Wow, you sound like me every day of my life. I get so tired of everything being a battle, I've started picking and choosing my battles more carefully.
No jacket? Whatever.
Shorts in January? Sure.
The basement is trashed? I don't care. As long as the smell doesn't creep up the stairs.
I loved this post. You're an awesome mom.
P.S. Grant calls "How Do Dinosaurs Eat Their Food?" his Jenna book.
HA! You're the best mom EVER!
I just wish you would have learned all the housekeeping tricks I learned from Dad, who taught me to say, "I'll do it later."
hmm sounds strangely familiar. And I need one of those Segways! It would make my life so much easier. I'm sure they've got some sort of wagon attachment that I could throw the kids in. We should start a company and rent them to pregnant women. haha!
laughing so hard...so funny!
you are so my kind of woman. except i am like that more than I should. Seth wanted to go with his friends to timber for $0.29 wings. IT's a bar and grill and i told them to call and make sure they could go without an adult. Okay, no problem I'll drop you off. He's almost 16 and i'm trying to let go. Okay so I checked on them a few times but he felt very grown up. it's hard saying no and always being in charge. I realized they need to be in charge and feel some freedom, my house is a nicer place. Miss ya, you always make me laugh.
