Proud Mommy Moments--Angry Style

I love participating in Emmy and KMama's Proud Mommy Moments because it is not limited to those moments of glory it is also for those moments of hanging your head in shame.  Today I am talking about those moments of anger when the kids are mad.  Mine are (mostly) beyond throwing themselves on the floor wailing, thrashing, crying and out of control.  Now they use a different method of manipulation.

Eye rolling, feet stomping, heavy sighing....

"I don't like you"

"You're the meanest mom ever!"

"That's it!  I don't want to be around you!"

Silent treatment.

Can you tell me which child offers which bit of flair when they aren't getting their way or having to do housework?

While I get eye rolls from and feet stomping from all three, my biggest eye roller and foot stomper would have to be Emily.  Aww...but she's so sweet and quiet.
Yeah it's those quiet ones you have to watch out for....she is very sweet but she can roll her eyes with the best of them.  I dread teen-dom.

So who has the flair for DRAMA!?  "I don't like you!"  "That's it!"  and "You're the meanest Mom ever"  are just a few things Ryan has shouted at me through his tears of udder torment.

The silent treatment....  that is what Kristin is best at when she is mad.  And really...she comes by it honestly.  That is my stand by.  If I am mad... you will know because it is when I stop talking.
We all have our moments... these are my kids moments.  And I am so proud. I am lucky since these moments are far and few between (knock wood).

I glad to not be alone, though I wish mine were more far and few between. My daughter is quite fond of telling me, "I don't love you anymore!" which my 3-year-old has now picked up. (sigh)

My oldest is my drama king. He's ridiculous! And Buster will just YELL like crazy. I dread the eye rolling.

Thanks for linking up!

I prefer the silent treatment. I can ignore that very well. It's when they screech that it gets on my nerves.

You didn't mention your loving, caring, devoted husband. I suppose that is a blog post, or even an entire blog of its own.

I figured the teenager was the silent treatment one. Teens are awesome with the silent treatment. I used to rule it. :) And honestly, they are adorable.

A Leave of Absence

Image
I just wanted let you all know that I am taking a (short) leave of absence. I was feeling under the weather last Friday, and Saturday I was a lump. By Monday I felt almost normal again. Tuesday even better! By Wednesday night the whole left side of my face felt completely packed. Today(Thursday) I am at death's door. Or maybe it's at mine! All I know is, I haven't felt this crappy in a long time. I spent the day at my mom's and mostly slept. Thanks Mom. Now Rich is home and he is running the show. I shall return...as soon as I stop feeling like this.

Dancing with the Stars---Dead

Image
That is how the show was introduced on Halloween night.  "Dead, from Hollywood, it's Dancing with the Stars!"  with your host, Tom Boooo-geron! Oh and Brooke who didn't get a play on her name.  Tonight, the dances are all spooktacularly themed.  Plus there is also a team dance. David and Kym 1-800-868-3406 David and Kym are dancing The Cha Cha and David wants to add magic to the act, so they bring in a professional magician to help with some basic tricks.  I enjoyed their Cha Cha.  It was fun. Len said it had  lots of tricks and treats and that David turned himself into a dancer! Bruno told him he has got the prestige, and that he was a natural at turning tricks. Carrie Ann said his improvement was phenomenal. She said he was polished and finessed, but that he needed to work on his holds. Scores: Carrie Ann:  8 Len: 8 Bruno: 8 Total: 24  JR and Karina 1-800-868-3410 JR and Karina are dancing the Tango to Ghostbusters...
