At least the basement isn’t flooded, and the foundation isn’t cracking, and isn’t in legal dispute with a Contractor, or having serious mold issues that the EPA is investigating… *cough*

You know, I have a basement you could use…but I’d have to move some toys and a big bouncy thing.

I could see four, maybe five engines, but SIX?

The boy’s in trouble now.

I’m glad to see that you’re sticking with the ‘grounding the trains’ punishment. I think it’s definitely a good way to go. Sweetie, please don’t torment yourself anticipating how they’re going to do with the news—first of all, anticipating won’t make it easier on you or anybody; and second, really there’s no predicting how it’s going to go, and it’s very possible that the reality won’t be as bad as your imagination paints it. xoxoxoxoxoxoxox

Is it a freakin’ full moon or something because I SWEAR my kid has baby PMS too! Word is theory - My theory is they are all aliens.

The pyramid of needs is a load of honk because as soon as you become self actualised you need therapy… what’s with that?

Sometimes the only way to win with kids is to go bizarre on them.  (My three yahoos are all home sick, and I’ve got it too, or I would come down there and sort y’all out.)

Just this morning, I have launched a major tickle offensive, sang several songs with the word ‘poop’ in them, done several strange dances, made the kids take two showers and have served lunch under the kitchen table.  In my least shining moment of the day, I used the kitchen faucet to squirt my son when he was tattling.  And THEN, I gave him a squirt bottle and rag and had him clean the kitchen floor, which he was TOTALLY DOWN WITH.

They seem stunned by the weirdness.  It’s low-rent shock therapy, eh?

You know, Mindy, they may be acting up because they sense something is going on and are trying to get your attention on to them instead of what’s bothering you.

No, probably not.  %-P
