Do you hear yourself...?

I am doing okay...but definitely not myself. I am tired and achy and less patient than I could be with the kids. I say all this not to complain but rather as a preface to this story I am about to share.

We were out of toilet paper this morning so we ran to Target (what is it with this family, Target and potty issues?!?!). I wanted to get in and get out. But Angelica got tangled in the spider web of the $1.00 section. She wanted to buy a pair of scissors that cut in a pretty pattern, like a children's version of pinking shears. I was so tired and not feeling good and wanted to get back home.

So, in my impatience, I barked at my 3-year old "Just run with your scissors!!"

Oh, how the head's turned. I got completely tickled and couldn't stop laughing. Angelica just looked at me like I had 3 heads.

Headed to bed. Love to you all!

xoxo

That is so funny. The other day, Sam was trying to finish up a game on my phone before lunch. He wouldn't hurry up and I finally said (in a snappy voice), "well, as soon as you kill the other guy, it's time for lunch". I never thought I would hear myself say that :-)

Much love,
Janet
