Have you ever noticed that the lovely kids you send off to the ex-wife’s return as monsters?!?!?
Well, boy has it been a FUN time here! It all started with Andy’s birthday dinner; now I need to preface this by saying he is the oldest and usually the easy one. He choose to have raviolis for his dinner (god bless him, something super easy on me), but the moment we have all three of them in the house, the fights start. They all become so negative and abusive to one-another and the volume by which they do so increase so that each of them can be heard over the other. Mitch and I spent what seemed like hours constantly reminding them to use “their indoor voices” and the classic “if you cannot say anything nice to each other then do not say anything at all” and “don’t say that about your (brother or sister)” and “apologize now!”
So, once the volume is down to a suitable level or better yet nothing is being said at all, and they are seemingly becoming the well behaved individuals we love and enjoy, then it is back of to the house of no discipline, just so we can spend ALL 2 hours of our commute the next day to their Great Grandfather’s Funeral and Memorial service redoing this whole scene in the car. Thankfully the ride back proved that full tummies do lead to napping, and the drive home was much more enjoyable for Mitch and me. But alas, we will have yet another day of this on Christmas Eve.
The only fact keeping me smiling through all of this is that I have all the supplies necessary to spend my day off tomorrow baking up a MAJOR sugar high for each of them to feast on before leaving our house, and to have for Christmas Day with their Mother’s family. Take that Cathy! You may send them back as monsters; but I will be sending them back as SPAZZES equal only to the Tasmanian Devil! LMAO!!!
Evil? Probably
Do I care? NOT AT ALL!
In fact, I think I will justify that as karma on Cathy, yeah, that works out just perfectly for me.
