For the love of all that's holy......

Rough weekend here at our place. Nothing earthshattering, nothing awful.......just rough. I think I just need to chalk it up to our changing routine and try to start this week on a good note. My neighbor told me that she's never seen Erin & Nicholas acting the way they did this weekend--wound up tighter than tight, not listening, being obnoxious. They fought about
every. little. thing. One had more grapes than the other, one touched the other when they walked past, blah, blah, blah. Not sporadic whining, but constant, over-the-top, if this was the Olympics they'd put Michael Phelps to shame whining. I couldn't even escape to the bathroom for peace.

The final straw came Sunday evening when Erin announced that she couldn't "eat this awful meal. It is way too cheesy, Mom, yuck." The food in question: grilled cheese sandwiches (made with one slice of cheese, btw).

Here's hoping (and praying) that this week settles down.......goodness knows there are enough other things to be stressed about than counting grapes :)

It was a rough weekend here too maybe it's in the air?? We went home I got a speeding ticket, pissed off pretty much everyone in my family, argued with my Mother, came home and left the water on outside all night.

Let's hope both of our weeks are better!

I agree with KM - you don't count those grapes? What were YOU thinking?

Really, though, Lisa. Know that you are not alone. My favorite whine is "He's looking out my window". Uh, yeah. And, which window, my dear princess, is your window OF THE MINIVAN?

Hugs to you Lisa. Breathe in. Breathe out. And go get a good bottle of wine (not whine!) ... haha. [C'mon .. laugh at me!]
