My girls didn't do anything to anger me where I would leave them on the curb with a "Free to a Good Home" sign. I just didn't want the responsibility today. What type of mother thinks that? I felt pretty guilty while they were being so polite and helpful this morning. All I could think of was how much cash I would in my bank account if I didn't pay for childcare, camp and 529 plans. I would have a normal looking belly button and my car wouldn't smell like old apple juice.
I wanted to go back in time when I didn't have to band-aid boo-boos or put cream on phantom itches. As the girls got dressed, I didn't want to look at the weather and doubt that today is really going to be 70 when yesterday it felt like it was going to snow. I also didn't want to sit at my desk at work worrying that I was going to get a call from Rachel's school saying that she was sick. (Last night she had some intestinal distress and I was hoping this morning it was a one time thing.)
God I am a terrible mother for thinking this. So to make myself feel better, I call my own mother. No joke.
Actually there are two more dirties... First of all, the girls totally forgot about their Easter candy. And I haven't reminded them about it...and I have been eating it all by myself. My second thing was comparing thank you notes sent from other kids to Laurel's thank you notes. How long did they take to get the notes mailed, penmanship, etc. I know that I joke that I judge but these mom's were in the same boat as me...pleading to get them done and then threatening to take away the gifts if they didn't (get done). Yeah, not a good day for JCW---I was a big ol' twat waffle. (Thank you Mrs. Leusner for the questionable label.)
As a post script...Ching woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't get back to sleep therefore he switched beds. I think there needs to be a changing of the guard in the Wang household because I fall right to sleep and sleep like a rock. Perhaps he could work a little harder??
