Attitudinal

Ever have a four year old that pushes every button you have??? I do. Apparently I hate her. I don't think she is funny. I don't like her jokes. I only yell at her. I am mean. I am unfair. I pretty much suck in other words. She feels the same way about her dad so I can't feel that bad. She is like verbal diarrhea with her assault. I have put her in her room to pout, and I have sneaked into the basement to hide from her. Through the floor I can hear 'I want candy' and 'Tomorrow' playing over and over as loud as a Strawberry Shortcake boom box will go. Is this day over yet??? No, only 2:30. Gotta say that just makes me want to crawl under this desk and hide. It is freezing here in the middle of April so I have no place to go and no place to send them. Hmmmmmmm....I do have rope in the garage.......probably duct tape too if I look hard enough.....can I go to jail for this??????? Please hold, she wants to talk to me.......Okay, looks like she will narrowly escape the rope--for today anyway--she apologized. She even said she was sorry for hurting my feelings. It is probably BS, but I will take what I can get. Mason just came down to tell me that if I am down here and he is up there, he will come get me if Madigan starts getting nasty. I may turn in my time card, my name tag and pass the torch to him--he seems to like being a mom a whole lot more that I do some days. Well, it is nice to know that I always have an understudy waiting in the wings just in case I can't fulfill my duties as Mother of the Year.
