Confessions of a mom...

Last night, Kameron came down stairs for the hundredth third or fourth time and whined that there was a spider in his bed. I said, "Kameron, I'm SURE there is no spider in your bed. PLEASE go to sleep!" BUT just in case, since I'm incredibly afraid of spiders, I sent Frank to check. Nope no spider. (Remember this story for later.)

This morning, I told Kassidy to get dressed and handed her a pair of capris and a shirt. I checked a few minutes later and she STILL wasn't dressed.
Me: "WHAT is the problem, Kass? We need to get going!"
Kass: "I don't know! I can't get them up!"
Me: "What do you mean you can't get them up?!"
Kass: "I don't know, I just can't get them up!"
SO I took them and loosened the adjustable waist and handed them back to her.
Me: "Hurry up, we need to get a move on and you still need to brush your teeth."
A few minutes later...
Kass: "I CAN'T get them on!"
Me: (getting frustrated) "Kassidy, you REALLY need to get dressed!"
Kass: "I REALLY can't!"
Me: (grumbling about how my 9 year old can't seem to dress herself) "Here, give them to me, I'll find you something else."
Kass hands me the capris, I look at them and see the tag: 2T. OH they're Kennedy's pants.
Me: "Oops!"
(Thankfully Kassidy is used to my craziness and just laughed at me!)

After we dropped Kass and Kam at school, I brought Kenn and Keeghan back home for breakfast. I poured Keeghan a bowl of cereal and asked Kennedy if she wanted cereal.
Kenn: "I don't want ceseal (cereal) I want marconi! (macaroni)"
Me: "No, you're not having macaroni and cheese for breakfast, you can have cereal like Keeghan."
Kenn: "NO ceseal like Keeghan! Marconi!"
Me: "No Kennedy, you had macaroni for dinner last night, you're not having it for breakfast. Would you like some cereal? You can have grapes with it."
Kenn: "NO ceseal! NO gwapes! MARCONI!"
Me: "OK Well, I am going to go do laundry so if you don't want cereal, you'll just have to be hungry."
Kenn: "Aww!"
I go down to do laundry and a few minutes later Kennedy comes down holding her empty bowl. Her bottom lip is stuck out.
Kenn: "I so hungwy! Ceseal PLEASE?!"
Poor deprived child.

This afternoon I was putting laundry away and walked into Kameron's room to check for any dirty clothes I may have missed. (Not that my angel would EVER leave dirty clothes in his room! yeah, right!) I see movement out of the corner of my eye and look over to see a SPIDER on his wall! A BIG black spider! UGH! I HATE spiders!!!!! GRRRR I REALLY hope that wasn't the spider in his bed last night! I promise that tonight when Kam is procrastinating with bed time I will believe him if he says there is a spider in his bed.

*sigh* Yep, something tells me I didn't earn any mommy credentials today. LOL
