Crazy baby has been attached to me for over a week now. He is touching me at all times, interacting with every activity, stating his opinion on how boring these activities are and demanding to be held minutely. I have been reminding him that his umbilical cord was cut at birth and a few foot separation from me wouldn’t be the end of his little world. I know! I know! I know! I will long for these days when he is 16 and averting his gaze when I enter a room, but I just would like to pee unaccompanied.
I got a call last night from a political polling company. They spent 3 minutes explaining how the poll wouldn’t take much of my valuable time. They then asked, “Do you think the country is headed in the right direction or wrong direction?” As soon as I answered, they stated that they were experiencing technical difficulties. It was so obvious that I had answered in an incorrect manner for their poll that I said, “so you didn’t like that answer?” and they hung up on me. I suspect that this is one poll that will come out exactly as they need/want since they are disqualifying any pesky dissension. I wish that system would work for me at home.
I just was asked if I could take the baby away. This was followed by screaming from 2/3 boys…Then I heard “my brothers are bothering me”. This was followed by screaming from 3/3 boys. I am experiencing technical difficulties…
Seems like we are both suffering from pesky phone callers;)
MMM…coffee. Can I have mine without coffeemate? Great, thanks.
Moving on- ALL I hear anymore is “I wanna cuddle mommy. Mommy put the baby down. The baby wants daddy. I want mommy.” It’s beginning to drive me crazy. But you’re right, these days will be over soon and I’ll miss them. ;0(
Now I want to know what your answer was so I can keep my eyes out for the poll. Will I see the results on Fox News Channel or MSNBC?
Good luck with your boys. I had one screaming (Almost!) 3 year old this morning and I was about to rip my hair out after I locked him in a closet. I didn’t do either, but I seriously considered it.
I’m counting the minutes until all this political “stuff” is finished. Lord help the pollster who gets me on the phone!
Oh…and what the heck are Cereal Straws?!?!? We child-free people have a need to know. :~)
Last night I had a Toddler glued to my feet so I asked my husband to lend a hand. He paused in playing Guitar Hero long enough to say, “Alexis, come here.” Big help, that one. I’m totally using the technical difficulties line on him when I drop her in his lap next time I need to be able to walk unobstructed for a minute.
I myself love those Froot Loop cereal straws – and a big fan of Vanilla Caramel coffeemate (and hazelnut). Going to go get me some coffee with that yummy creamer in it – right now! See ya and have a good day. Kellan
I’m amazed at how you cope with 3 boys under the age of ten. 🙂
lmao @ technical difficulties. found you thru sandy. 12g/serving!? yikes! i’m sure i would’ve been hung up on in that survey too if i weren’t in the media. when i’m not in the mood i just cut to the chase and say “i’m in tv.” its ok thanks, click.
Oh those dang cereal straws! They are currently being asked for in my house. I am currently saying “no”. I bought them once to try them out. Exactly ALL of them were broken in the box. They dissolve in milk. And? They’re nasty.
Just thinking about those cereal straws makes my teeth hurt.
I remember those days when my kids somehow velcroed (can’t figure out how to use the past tense of velcro) themselves to me. Now it’s just my dog that follows me everywhere. As that old saying goes…’this too shall pass’
to funny about the poll call.
LM5 is having what I hope is his last mommy stage — although it is much more pleasant at the age of five. it’s actually very sweet….
