that I am the biggest meanie weenie ever. According to the children in my house.
10. I will not let Micah walk to Grandma's house. He is almost two. It is several blocks away. She is not home. I am a jerk.
9. I do not agree that a long sleeve shirt would make a person feel cooler than a short sleeve shirt. In the summer. I know nothing about fashion. I may be ruining a young life as we speak.
8. I will not let my children carry around a dying baby bird and try to feed it crunched up worms mixed with spit. They already started collecting the spit. And the worms. And the dying baby bird.
7. Breakfast is not cookies. Or ice cream. Or cake. And we have no cookies. Or cake.
6. I will not let Micah eat a play dough pizza. Or play dough cookies. Or play dough cake. Or even play dough lumpy thing.
5. I make the kids read, play, go outside, and get creative before turning on any electronics. Even in the summer. Even on rainy days. Even when they just charged an iPod.
4. I do not want a pet snake. I will not allow my children to have a pet snake. As a matter of fact, I have placed a hold on any new pets until we have quite a few less pets than we do now. Be that by rehoming, death, or escape. And even then, probably no snake. I just don't want to have to feed it like I do with all the other pets my kids (and husband) have.
3. No one is allowed to have soda for breakfast. I have no soda in the house. We have juice. Water. Milk. Tea. Kool aid. Hot chocolate. Those are all gross. I must not have taste buds. At all.
2. I toss broken toys. All of them. Even if Dad can do magic, preform surgery, or has enough super glue. They will break again. Kids will cry again. Like a band aid, the quicker the better, just toss it and get it over with. Especially when it is in five or more pieces, is missing a wheel, and only has one handlebar. And used to be a finger bicycle.
1. I will not let the size five and six kids wear size two costumes to go jump on the trampoline. Even if it is the only ninja costumes they can find. No, black pants and black shirts will not work the same. Even though they would cover more skin because they fit.
And that is all just from today. Before lunch. I should have a much larger list by bedtime.
