Mommy moments

Okay so I LOVE being a mom. I don't think there is a person alive who knows me that can doubt that. However, I am human. I do NOT like whining and arguing of said children. This morning was one of those mornings that went something like this...

Kyle - "Mom I don't want the stuff that has any cheese on it"
Me - "Thats not cheese, its egg"
Kyle - "I don't want egg"
Me - "Its going to be difficult to give you egg skillet without eggs"
Kyle - "I want a toaster waffle"
Me - "fine"
I cook a toaster waffle while cleaning the kitchen and getting lunch together.

Kyle - "I don't want a BURNED waffle"
Me- Too da*n bad. Thats what you get"

Ten minutes later princess wakes up and comes down in a sleeveless dress. Um ya so it is -20 degrees out!
Me - "Elisabeth, you are going to have to wear a shirt under that or something."
Elisabeth - "But then I will be HOT!"
Me - "No, you won't it is below freezing outside"
Elisabeth - "I want a pink shirt"
Me - "okay, lets go look"

I pull out a dark pink, long sleeve shirt with a little decoration around the collar.

Elisabeth - "Not DARK pink mom."
Me - "How about white?"
Elisabeth - "White? but mom, the dress is PINK"
Me - "well then lets wear the shirt and a skirt instead"
Elisabeth "Okay" (in my head - that was easy)

Elisabeth (puts on said skirt) - "Mom this isn't the one with Hello Kitty on it"
Me - "nope"
Elisabeth - "I'm not wearing this one its boyish"
Me - "I promise the SKIRT is not boyish"

Elisabeth is now removing the skirt. I find the Hello Kitty skirt and we move on to tights. Now, let me preface this by saying we went tight shopping together and she picked out 6 new pairs of tights to start school. I pick out 2 pink stripped tights and tell her to pick.

Elisabeth - "No mom, I want the pink tights with white stripes not the white tights with pink stripes."

Seriously. She really did!

Me - "Okay, then white it is - and please, tell me again why we bought all these new tights and you never wear them"
Elisabeth - "Well, I didn't know they would be itchy".

Oh. Alrighty then.

Stay tuned for more fun times!
