I would like to recap my morning for everyone: at 6:45 my oldest son the sweet one the caring one the bigger one comes into my room and tells me that today is going to be a great day gives me kisses and heads off to his room to get dressed I think to myself what did I ever do to have such a loving child he clearly gets it from Christopher Potter I walk down the hall to my littlest sons room and say come on Chase wake up! Ive only yelled it 75 times in the past 20 minutes, there this evil monster rises up from the pit of hell and begins to question my very existence. He tells me that he hates waking up why does he have to go to school why does he always have to do the same things every day why is everyone so mean to him why cant he just sleep why do I even have to talk to him every morning. So in the sweetest mommy voice I try to reassure him that today is going to be a great day and we have to school to learn and blah blah blah. I leave and of course Drew has now washed his face brushed his teeth and is applying cologne. I hear a crash from the monsters room I walk back down there he is now questioning why he has to wear khakis to school (his school has uniforms) I explain to him the reasons why and he then I get a full lecture on why khakis are the worstest pants in the world they make me cold they arent blue I want to wear jeans. I surely should break now seeing how in 10 minutes my precious baby had become my worst nightmare. Okay so now my oldest son the sweet caring child comes into the room and tells Chase that he will wear khakis too if that will make him happy. My heart breaks again for this child but does the monster care...nope he begins to tell Drew how this is the worst day ever and Drew doesnt understand what its like to have to wear the same thing everyday and everyone in the whole world is against him. Drew holds strong and does not let this phase him he tells Chase to get over himself and walks out. I walk away leaving Chase to wallow his self pity. I get dressed head down the hallway and my monster has changed to this loving child who asks if he can watch TV I sigh and tell him no that its too late we have to leave and then the monster is back I walk away counting down the hours till I can drink a glass of wine. We get in the car drop Drew off at school and now Chase says to me how come I cant go to Waddell we had this discussion too I tell him not long Chase you will go there he then tells me how I should have had him first how I should make Drew stop having birthdays so he can catch up. Again I sigh and as I write this I want to know what did I do? I was a good kid I liked school I got up went to school my mom didnt have to tell at me to get up 75 times?? Please tell me who I pissed off to have to have this battle 5 days a week?? I know I recited the Serenity prayer at least a dozen times this morning. So I hope you got a laugh out of this and in the words of Drew today is going to be a great day!
