Loved the honesty of the post Stacy - it's so true. But glad you
recognise that despite the tantrums, she is definitely worth it; just
goes to show what a good mom you are :)
I had to giggle when you described mimicking PN, because I've often
done that to Madison. Except in our case, it just makes her cry and
scream some more. Ugh. Motherhood.
I go grocery shopping when my older daughter is at school, so I only
have my two-year old along, and oh, boy, it is challenging! She has
already started demanding "stuff!" I can't wait until they are both in
school so I can shop in peace! (and it will be much faster, too!)
I had forgotten about the grocery store meltdowns. In retrospect, I'd
like to relive one. At least you're not listening to her say "Mom, I
forgot to tell you I'm moving to Las Vegas on Wednesday with my
boyfriend!"
Stacey, this Spin is utter brilliance. I LOVE the way you worded it.
"It causes you to hang an 'Out of Order' sign on the Time Machine and
enjoy staying right where you are" I want to frame that saying.
I've had some moments where I wax nostalgic about my pre-Sprite days,
but you're right, these tough moments are so fleeting and replaced so
easily by the better ones. Brava!
You're linked!
I loved this post! It is so true. Life might have been simpler BJ
(that's before Jack at our house) but who would ever really want to
change?
Also thanks for stopping by our blog.
Are you sure you weren't with my daughter?;) It sounds like they are
identical 6 year olds. I have resorted to mocking her during a scream
session but then I have to laugh at the fact that I am acting like a 6
year old. What has she done to me? Her being in school has made for
very peaceful grocery store visits. Yea!
Ah, the grocery shopping. I have to admit, I always linger a little
longer when I'm at the store by myself, walking along with a sly smile
as someone else's child pitches a fit, knowing mine are safely (though
probably not quietly) at home. I am always happy to come home to them
though. It IS all worth it. And the image of you and PN in a parked
car shrieking contest was hilarious. Great spin!
