Son: Can I have a piece of candy? I finished all of my dinner.
Me: Sure.
Son: Skittles?
Me: That’s fine.
Son gets candy…
Son: I have to, ahhhh, go upstairs for something….
I turn around and son has his jacket on with bulging pockets. Hmmmm. Interesting.
Me: You need to take off your jacket before you go upstairs.
Son: I can’t.
Me: You can’t? Here, I can unzip it for you.
Son: NO! I mean. I’m really cold…
Me: Are you sure that your pockets aren’t filled with candy that you are trying to sneak upstairs?
Son: !!!!!
Me: Is there candy in your pockets?
Son: mumble…
Me: What?
Son: yes….
Me: Take it out of your pockets and put the skittles back.
Son puts away candy and is ANGRY…
Son: YOU’RE MEAN!
Me: Yes, I am mean when you don’t follow the rules and try to sneak around.
Son: IT’S NOT FAIR!!!
Me: Actually, it was very fair to give you candy. You chose to get more than you knew you were supposed to have.
Son: YOU’RE MEAN!!!! I’M NEVER TALKING TO YOU AGAIN!!!!
Hmmmm…. This one is going to be hell when he’s a teenager.

Posted in kids, vacation at 8:55 pm by hecticmom
Ugh… The HORROR!!! My vacation is coming to an end. The kids go back to school tomorrow. I actually get two days to myself while the kids are in school. But, Prissy has an ortho appointment tomorrow (keep your fingers crossed that the braces can come off!!!) And she has an eye doctor appointment on Friday afternoon. So, it’s not totally free, but still – I still have several hours all to myself.
While the kids have gotten along really well this vacation – they are back to attacking each other like crazy today. We went bowling this afternoon which was a lot of fun and I even broke 100 (well, I got 100) in one game. We also found a geocache that was right across the street from the bowling alley.
And, on a happy happy joy joy note – we got our new garage doors installed today. Can you hear the angels singing? Hubby can open his garage door from his car now. He is so excited. These things are really really quite and the doors go up and down very quickly. The guy that came and installed them was super professional.
Today, we took down the rest of our Christmas decorations – both inside and out. It’s supposed to start raining tomorrow. The festiveness just seems to be going away while the days start getting a little bit longer. (I’d opt for a longer day any time. Bring on the sun!)
Anyway, that’s our day – not exciting. Not very entertaining. Just the facts, ma’am.

Hope you all are having a very happy and wonderful New Year. I’m getting ready to start making dinner and thought that I’d wish you all a happy one.
I’m getting back on the diet after being off of it for a week and a half. Not so much looking forward to no Big Macs (our hiatus made me realize how much I miss French Fries… Ummmm…. Greasy french fries…
We had a good time with our friends last night. We always do when we are with them. As a bonus, I found a new wine that I really like – it’s Artesa. I need to see if I can find it now.
Happy first day of 2008!

This is another testing post to see how I like this new word press. So far, I like it better than moveable type. But, I can’t get my super cool theme back. But, that’s ok, at least for now.
