My kids are OFF the wall! I know it happens every year, but this is the first year that its happening to both of my kids (last year Audrey was still clueless).... Oh the whining and the not sleeping and the can I open a present?... They are trying to break me --- I will not let them... I don't want rotten kids. I don't want spoiled kids and yet I want to give them the world... Where is the balance? How do you decide what is enough? How do you teach them compassion? How do you teach them that giving to those less fortunate is good for the soul? We go to church, we give our offering, we have done toys for tots (disasterously), goodwill (another disaster -- don't give my toys away!!! screaming unconsolable fit in car seat). We went to see GreatGram in the nursing home and brought cookies to the staff (Can we go now? Abbey repeated OVER AND OVER... All the sudden shy and NOT MY KID!) Rant over. I know they are young, self centered and all that, but ...... RANT OVER.
I told my husband that tomorrow I am getting up, walking the dog and going to the gym. I have at least 84 minutes of running to do... Please be consistant, please don't be painful, please let there be some good music on MTV... I will finish my 7 miles and hot tub and shower alone using as much hot water as the YMCA can supply... Only then will I be ready for CHRISTMAS.
