I'm a mean mom. Really.
Yesterday, terrible little leprechauns attacked my children first thing in the morning. Making them very naughty and mean. I awoke to full on fighting from the big boys.
What?!
That's right. We don't do that! I kindly let them know, we DO NOT put up with this.
I grounded them from each other at school. "No playing with each other AT ALL today. Don't talk to each other. Don't look at each other. And no playing at recess!"
To this request, Simon started crying, and Sam smiled the biggest smile ever. Hmmm.
As punishment even further, I didn't tell them it was St. Patrick's day until we were in the car on the way to school. Ha! Put that in your pipe and smoke it! No green on and nothing you can do about it! (I told you - I'm REALLY mean) "And you can tell your friends that your mom says to pinch you as much as they like, that way you can remember not to fight with your brother!"
To which Simon replies, "I don't mind, I have green on my shoes."
Now who's smiling? Little punk. Darn shoes!
(Don't worry, as Sam got our of the car I told him to pin a green piece of paper to his shirt. bad mom, i know At the end of the day, he couldn't find any green paper and told me that's why he had to draw a green shamrock on his arm. He also happened to mention that he really liked being "grounded" from Simon at school. Heaven help me.)
ON another St. Patty's note...I went to The Store of Death with my mom and sister yesterday. (That'd be Wal Mart - although Mink's has the newest and nicest Store of Death on the planet!) At any rate...When everyone is wearing green, it's very easy to lose a person. We kept separating and it went like this: "Oh, there's Mindy. Wait no. She's just wearing green too. Oh, there she is! Nope. Another greenie. There she..." You get the point. Sheesh!
That's why I wore all black yesterday. That and the fact that only three things even fit me anymore! Three outfits, four weeks. Not pretty.

Ha ha! We're on spring break but they all wore green. Thank goodness Marie's still afraid of me. She kept saying I wont' pinch you though mom because I don't want to get in trouble. But who walks over and pinches me so hard I turned and yelled, yep the nine year old! Love that they still had green and didn't have to play with their sibling. Why is it that they get us in the end always! Just when we think we've got them! Love ya
I was watching one of my personal favorite secret indulgences...Malcom in the Middle and harris walked in and said, "You and TT are Lois"....Hrumph!!! Wellllllll, I guess a little....then when you told me the story of the boys, I was like....um, yeah, maybe we are!!!!
My kids ran around pinching me all morning cuz I was still in my pajamas and had no green on. Julia used her own money to deck herself out in green glasses, a sparkly bowler hat, fake green braids and a necklace and earrings that light up. It was pretty awesome.
