whos the boss?

Okay- I may have to write a couple blogs a day. There is just to much to say. I know what you are thinking.... I NEVER run out of things to say. Well Good-then you will never run out of something to read.

As I was trying to write earlier, my 4 year old wanted to play on the computer. He was right next to me. Not really saying much, but his body launguage was telling me that he was adimit about playing on the computer...right then.

He is home from school sick. This is the 2nd day. I thought he was stir crazy yesterday!!! So- what did I do, I tried to keep writing for just a few more moments, until my 11 month old decided that the printer below my feet looked pretty cool. So as she is screaming that I will not let her near it, and my 4 year old is trying to prevent her from getting any closer to the computer table, I am just laughing. Really? I thought to myself. I am the mom right? Why is nobody listening, or demonstrating any patience? Sooooo, I got off of the computer, let my son have a turn, feed my baby, changed her, bathed her, rocked her, read and sang to her, and then put her to sleep. My son was doing rather well on the computer. That was until momma decided to start to paint. I thought I could get in some time on a painting I have been wanting to do, while my baby was sleeping, and my 4 year old was learning. Oh no-he was DONE_DONE_DONE with that. Okay, I said, as I set him up with some paints of his own. Yet frustrated in the back of my head. Am I the boss I thought? After a few moments of painting, he was ready to be done. So I stopped my painting again, so that I could clean his hands. The phone rang, I did not get it, because I knew that my son was NOT going to cooperate with me trying to have an adult conversation.....AM I the boss? I was really starting to wonder.

He wanted to watch a movie. I set him up in my bed, so he could watch his cartoons and relax. Just as I am about to go to the bathroom for maybe the 2nd time today-I hear from my bed....MOMMA, my son bellows, GET ME A SNACK!! Are you kidding me? I have really lost power here, to a 4 year old, and an 11 month old! "This is out of control" I say to him." Where are your manors" I ask him. Please? He says. Please what I ask. Please get me a snack. Please may I have a snack I say. He repeats me. So I tell him I will be right back with his snack. 1 second later...DON"T FORGET MY DRINK!! I just take a deep breath and think to my self, in a few moments, he will be setteled, and I can catch a break. WRONG!! The phone rings, and so I answer it. I was really thinking that I was going to get to have a conversation with an adult. Well just after a very few minutes, my daughter hollars from her room. She was done with her nap, and no longer happy being in her crib. She is starting to cry louder. I am trying to finish up the conversation as my friend on the other line laughs just laughs. See what I mean I ask...Whos the boss? I chuckeled, and said to her, there it is, another page... and so my second blog of the day was written. Thanks kids!!!!
