Bickering Kids and Vodka Shots!

I know, if I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a million times, I CANNOT wait for the wranglers to head back to school!  With just 13 days to go, I’m chomping at the bit! At the end of the summer break in 2010, DH handed me a trophy titled, “Best Mom, Survivor Summer 2010.” I wonder what this year will bring, perhaps a trophy in the shape of a bottle, “Summer 2011, Most Vodka Consumed.”

Channel Chick is so out of her orbit that she is beginning to look like, act and move like one of Granny’s Stabbity Dolls. And Rocket Boy is catching the brunt of her severe mood swings. Poor kid already knows more about girls and their ability to manipulate than most kids.

“Oh Rocket Boy, you will do what I ask, won’t you?” When she wants help from Rocket Boy while trying to learn a new Wii game or having a computer issue, she doesn’t ask him, she DEMANDS help. She whines,  gripes, and fake-cries, (we all know what that sounds like), until he can’t take it anymore. But first he purposefully ignores her by orbiting in the “not listening zone” and here’s how it turns out.

Working things out the natural way!

 I told them that if they didn’t shut the hell up, that we were all going to hell in a handbasket, that got me about two minutes of silence and some rabid looks.

The moral of my story, be prepared when you have kids, they are a force to be reckoned with, and when it gets tough, and you know it will, just remember this old saying,

Any questions?
