The Kids, hmmm

So last night another night filled with running. Jake and Amelia really wanted a gum ball from the arena when we dropped Hailey off. I told them no we are not going in I will get you something later. So when we went to pick her back up and I said no again, Amelia puts her hand up like in a stop position and says. "Listen mom, a deal is a deal, don't try to get out of it now!".....really your four! So no we did not go into the arena and we did not get gum balls. So I stopped at the liquor store and as I was getting out Amelia says to Hailey and Jake, "Great, another sucker!"
So we all got what we wanted out of the deal and were all happy, I think?

Going to bed last night was a chore too, we started at 8:30pm. It was I am thirsty, I have to go the bathroom, my side hurts, I need to get a book to read to maggie (the dog), I have to tell you what I had for lunch, mom do you think there is such thing as aliens. I am really, really thirsty now, did I eat dinner, what did I have to eat, when is Thanksgiving, where is my favorite stuffed animal (you know the one that of course can not be found out of the 500 they have), at this point it is 9:30 and I am at my breaking point and I say"GO TO BED, NOW. I HAVE HAD IT"

Two minutes later, I hear little foot steps coming down the hallway and I am up off the couch hands on hips, steam coming out of my ears and I say "WHAT?" and here is Amelia, mom I love you...you are the BESTEST mom EVER!

REALLY?!?!?! Now you know why I stopped at the liquor store instead of going in to the arena for gum balls!

That's my story and I am sticking to it!
