Sleepy kitty cuddles. #catsky #cats #blackcat

Very emotional 5yo having a tantrum: I hate you, Mommy!

Me: jokes on you, kid. I’m a millennial. I’ve hated myself since 1994. Toys still need to be cleaned up.

Did I ask my children to put away their laundry or did I start WW3? It’s impossible to tell.

8yo:I’m staring on my reading work. Independently. Don’t bother me.

Me: I thought you were already green for reading and didn’t need to do anymore?

8yo: I’m not doing it because I need to. I’m doing it because I want to.

Me: …nerd.

8yo: That just means I’m smart.

Someone’s not going to like how this pans out. #pets #doglife #catlife

Woken up from a deep sleep at 3:30a to find my 5yo staring at me in the dark.

5:

Me:

5: “In the middle of the night! In my dreams! You should-“

Me: No. Absolutely not.

5: But I want to sing.

Me: it’s still dark time outside.

5: I know. That’s why I sing middle of the night 🤷🏻‍♀️

My oldest figured it out at 14 months. Fast forward 7 years and she’s now a gymnast climbing and flipping off anything she can find 🙈

While driving with my mother

5yo: Nana, when I’m 20, you’ll be an old lady!

My mom: yeah, I’ll be pretty old by then won’t I?

5yo: and Mommy, you’re 40 so you’re kind of already an old lady.

Me: thanks kid. I needed to be humbled today.

Re #2: I can and I will 🤷🏻‍♀️

If you cut them into thin slices they can be “crunchy braclets” for your kid to wear on their wrist and then snack on!

A Shadow Bright and Burning trilogy was one I loved and someone else recommended Shepherd King (One Dark Window) series which is a new fav of mine

Loved the Shepard King books!!! Wish there were more, I wasn’t ready for it to end.

5yo: I went potty last night
Me: oh, you went to the bathroom alone?
5: no.
Me: where did you go potty then?
5: at night.
Me: right, in the bathroom? When it was dark?
5: no.
Me: did you have an accident in your bed?
5: no.
Me: so where did you go potty then?
5: AT NIGHT
Me: ok, good talk.

4yo: how do I become a queen?

Me: You’d need to move to a country with a monarchy, marry a prince in line to the throne and then we he becomes king you’d become queen.

4yo: or I could kill them, move into their castle, and make myself queen?

Me: uh… yes… you could also do that…

Nothing is more thirsty in this world than a 5 year old who’s been told it’s bedtime.

Well, we had a good run all school year, but the stomach bug has now entered our home. Time to burn everything we own and start over 🤷🏻‍♀️ #IDontMakeTheRules #momlife #parenthood #tistheseason

While my child was learning her letters at school;

Teacher: What starts with the letter “A”?

4yo: Snake!

Teacher: That starts with “S”. We want something that starts with the letter “A”.

4yo: Ok, fine. *A* snake 🤨

No, told our oldest I warded our home to keep out all Fae including elves 🤣 2nd kid would have probably tossed him into the fireplace anyway for being a snitch.

So, which of your children is getting coal in their Christmas stocking and why is it your second born? 🤨 #parenting #momlife #kids #thatsecondchild

For real! Thankfully we seemed to have avoided pink eye. This time…

🤣🤣🤣

8yo is asking way too many questions about Santa. The LIES I have told today 😬

Every. single. time.

Thank you🙈 I cannot handle pink eye if it comes into this house 😩

4yo: A wasn’t at school today because her eyes are pink.

Me: You mean she has pink eye.

4yo: Yeah! Her eyes turned pink so she didn’t come to school today.

Me:

4yo: I wish my eyes would turn pink!

Me: I guess we’ll find out in the next 24 hours or so.
