Happy Mommies Day!Follow

My mother cried when I called her yesterday and reminded her that this was the first Mother's Day in the past 27 years where she wouldn't be seeing me. I told her to get knocked up if she didn't like it.

I had my vegan mother and step-grandmother over and made a totaly vegan meal + dessert for them, which they liked.

I of course could not eat that crap, so I made something cheesy on the side and ate it so I wouldn't go hungry for dinner.

They <3'd it, the family watched Night at the Museum, and we called it a day.

Hubby and the kids took me out to dinner at 94th Aero Squadron. I got flowers and jewelry. And my chinchillas, a white one and a black one that are now named Nippers and Nubbins.

Joph Jr. made me a paper flower bouquet, and I got a card and a spa gift certificate from Joph. I realize nothing came out of my hey-nanoo yet, but for all intents and purposes, I'm rocking the mommy cap.

Smiley: frown I didn't think of that. Maybe I'll use them as book covers then.

The best mother's day present was this morning, when Hannah, unprompted for the first time, turned to me while I was making my coffee and said, "Mommy! Mommy, I love you!" hahaha, I nearly cried. I really needed that today.

Of course, then she said, "Pretty shirt mommy!" I was wearing a bath towel, so clearly the child is crazy as a loon and has no idea what she's saying, but I'll take it anyway.

glad to hear you chicas had a good Mothers Day. Sickabilly tried to make it very special by taking me to a surprise brunch at one of my favorite places, which features French and Cambodian cuisine. Unfortunately my terror of a 5 yr old messed it up by using his worst behavior all day. I pretty much came home after a few hours of nonstop tantrums, grabbed myself a margarita and sat on the deck for a little while.

Add my applause to that auspicious list of alarmingly overproductive and cavernous ******* factories who hang out at the Asylum. Happy "check out how fertile I am" Day, you branched chain amino acid protein-mongers, you.

Ha ha, I got tipsy at the track because Jr. was being all emo. Also, I almost lost him and my blood pressure was so elevated because of it I'm amazed I didn't just expire on the spot. Yeah, remember when I said I hadn't lost my temper with him to-date? I totally did. Smiley: frown

Not a turnip, but I almost clobbered him with a croissant and later on a book when we stopped at B&N and he decided to have a full out tantrum on the floor. The kid is freaking 5 yrs old!

Im beyond exasperated with his recent behavior. And Flea, did he slip off or something? I feel for ya.

No turnip, but I'm ashamed to say I gave him a good hard shake. The track was beyond packed, it's HUGE, and he kept refusing to hold my hand and telling me that I didn't know where I was going. I told him to stay close, and when I looked back he wasn't there. I called his name for about 10 panicked seconds, looking for him in the crowd and imagining Joph's reaction when he emered from under a table muttering about how the bathrooms weren't where they should be and I grabbed him, shook him, and told him NEVER to do that to me again, that if I lost him in a crowd this big I'd never find him and I almost walked him right to the urinal. He came out pale and contrite and I hugged him, but I was still shaking.

It sucked.

That's better than what I got last night in the hotel restaurant bathroom.

I'm wiping the seat down for her when she says, "Mommy I'm making already...." Smiley: eek

It really doesn't look like that much pee when it's in the toilet bowl... 50 paper towels or so later she's running out into the lobby proudly yelling to Grandma how she had an accident and made in her panties. Ahh, the joy of potty training..

This is the best time for potty training!!! Just get her naked and keep her outside all day. I did that with Xavier the summer he was two and he got it real fast. Of course, he still tries to get away with peeing in the woods Smiley: dubious
