DCG4 to UPS guy through playground fence: "Wanna know a secret? Mrs. Cat Herder gave me cat food an' it tastes like oatmeal cookies. That's silly."
UPS guy: "Um, okay. Have a great afternoon!" My inspection will most likely begin in 5....4....3...:lol: FTR, we had cracklin' oat bran, sliced strawberries and vanilla yogurt for morning snack. Not cat food. :lol: |

This morning dcb 2 told me that Santa put a cookie in his eye. I acted like I was so shocked & amazed & said, "A cookie in your eye?" So he uses his little finger to lift his eyelid & in a slow, serious voice says, "Look at this." :lol:

My son did this a couple years ago with one of the dkb Same shorts with weirdbzurf boarding dogs (of all things) and same blue polo shirt. It was so weird.

Yesterday the dc kids were playing a game of zombies, and I had to laugh as I listened to them, because all the zombies were apparently from Canada. Apparently they believe that Canada is where all the zombies live and that Canada is full of zombies. :lol:
But on the bright side, it put me in the mood to watch World War Z with DH again last night. The movie is full of zombies and the family do end up in Canada--where they are safe from zombies. :lol: |
Little Miss was so excited...
That when mom walked in 15 minutes earlier, she ran to the shoe box, opened it to get her shoes & dived in, right in front of mom mind you... she is only 17 months. Head first & couldn't get back up right without help; mom & I were laughing hysterically because this is a first. As Mom said, it's a new story to tell Dad when they get home. Mom said I can imagine what you go thru with all 4 being so young; YEP, never ending antics (my other 3 are younger lol)

Some may remember my difficult dcm ( money order weirdness) that terminated care last June because they were moving yet still live down the street . Well she called yesterday to see if I would like to take her infant .
Um ....... no. :lol::lol::lol: |

She was as serious in her replies as she could be. :D |
I asked them to clean up three times. Their motivation is severely lacking and I am not up to a battle of wills, today.
I placed a pan of HM cinnamon/sugar croissants to cool on top of the tallest bookshelf and helped myself to one piping hot at my desk. They are now wildly motivated. My work here is done. :ouch: |

*moves child off my lap*
DCG3: “why can’t I sit on you?” Me: “it’s super hot in here for some reason, I’m dying” Different DCG3: *fanning self* “yeah I’m dying too” Original DCG3: “me too! Baby (child with same name, always calls her baby for little B) you died too?” Oh how they pick up every little thing hahah |
1. How my DS thinks ignoring someone works:
Me: Just ignore him. DS: IGNORE! IGNORE! IGNORE! IGNORE! IGNORE! 2. Dcb2.5 is a massive Mine-o-saur, and just got upset because another kid "took it from me". As I'm watching trying to figure out what "it" is, dcb walks over takes something invisible from other kid and walks away triumphantly. |

1. She loses at least one job a year for taking too many sick days. 2. My brother is the full-time parent and works full time from his home office. She has never participated in parenting tasks that aren't "cute". 3. She takes at least one nap every day. 4. She was arrested last month for breaking and entering to get narcotics. Yep, we have a winner!!!! |

Just figure it'd be a whole lot easier than getting up and down out of a chair 50+ times. I'm not sure if this child will grow up to be a dentist, ophthalmologist, hair stylist, or just a really great nose-picker because I swear she wouldn't stop touching me for 45 minutes. Took everything not to bust out laughing at her. Lol But 45 minutes later, she's a little sleeping angel.:)

New line in my job description- relationship counselor for DCB11 & DCG10 (who have both came here for 4-5 years). DCG is mad at DCB because he didn't tell her he had an afternoon Dr appointment so wouldn't be on the bus to sit by her. :rolleyes::D:lol::):Sunny::p

Look Into My Eyes
One of my DCB's came in today and I was holding him and talking to him but also looking at another child. He grabs my face and says look into my eyes, I am talking to you! He is 2 years old going on 30!:)

Someone contacted me today asking for a spot for summer care. Gave them my price and they replied “that’s really out of our budget, we have budgeted 183 a month for child care. We could probably up it to 250 a month but that would be pushing it. Let me know if anything changes and you can help out”
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 ok! That won’t grt you full time care ANYWHERE. That barely pays for two weeks of in home and one week of center care in my area. GOOD LUCK! |
Oppositional defiant dcb, age 4, was the first one 'finished' with breakfast. In reality he just wanted to snatch and/or hide the favored toys so nobody else could use them. I made everybody stay at the table until everybody was done.
Dcb's response? "FINE! I'll just sit here and eat my cereal! But NOT because I'm hungry!" ok then :D you do that dcb. |
My son last night refused to eat dinner till his brother was done just so he could sit in daddy's chair cause you can see the TV screen. Sat at atbke while his brother ate them moved chairs and ate his whole dinner. Funny part TV was not on.

Tell x why you are sad." His response was to look at the kid and says "You're a butthead and that makes me sad!" :rolleyes::D Hard to be all "teacher-y" when you can't breathe because you're trying not to bust out laughing. ;):lol:

My 8 years old daughter is very silly, I'm laughing too hard when she told me she's worried she might not have a boyfriend when she gets older.

I had a kindergartner say that I looked really young :lol:

Twin dcgs, almost 4 yo, sitting at the lunch table as they were finishing up
