Ok, so I have to admit, I am in a slump. I don't know if it's because of the cold weather, or that my kids are two and a half and five, or that I have a red shirt on today, who the hell knows, but it's not a good thing... that being said, I need to vent. Do not read on if you don't want to listen to some bitching and moaning, I don't blame you if you choose not to. I know I don't need to listen to anyone Else's problems, we all have them....
So I desperately tried to find a baby-sitter for my Dr. appt. this morning. No such luck, I did have a few friends that offered, but they have their own slew of kids to deal with, I didn't want to burden them. B had school, so I figured I could lock the girls up in their stroller and bribe them to no end. All went well, did I mention this was for my annual? Yeah, good times, even better with two chatty two year olds. Some excerpts from the exam room:
(Ellie)
"Mom, you get naked? Mom, you take your panties off? Mom, Dr. look at your bum? I see your bum mom. Mommy, you get owies? I am baby A, Dani baby b, like daddy. Uncle baby A like me." I told them we were going to see the Dr. that took care of them while they were in my tummy. (Kent was baby B and Kelly was baby A, they are very proud of this and can relate to it very well).
(Dani) Same as above, but a little bit louder.
"Mommy I see your bum!"I have to say, all went well during the exam, it was just all the chitter-chatter beforehand that was so enjoyable, thankfully they were completely silent when my Dr. was there. Who knows what could have come out of their mouths. :)
I was very proud and relieved as I walked out of the office.
NOW it is nap time and I am at my whits end. I need a break and they won't stop screaming! I can't give up naps yet....can't they just rest quietly? Is that really too much to ask?
My Dr. told me everything gets better when your youngest turns four. ONE and a HALF more years!
Luckily Brayden is playing at a friend's house. He may not have fared too well today. Before he left for school he was in time-out TWICE. Does anyone else have a five year old with an ATTITUDE? He seems to know everything, (isn't this a little young) and has to argue with anything that I say.
Ahh, I feel a little bit better now that everything is out in the open.
I do love my children. :)
