I just wanted to record these conversations with my children so we could laugh at them later:)

Me: Sophia you need to take a shower this morning before your friends get here.
Sophia: Oh, man. I hate showers.
Me: OK, then take a bath.
Sophia: Oh man, I hate baths.
Me: You know what will happen if you don't take a bath?
Sophia: what?
Me: You will not have friends anymore!

This whining went on for a while until I had to say "1.....2.....3...."
Why doesn't this kid like to bathe??? She really makes me laugh!

Later this afternoon Nate got mad at me for something and before he could say anything I said "I know...I am the meanest mom in the world"....because that is what he has been telling me lately. But he corrected me and said,"No you are the meanest Mom in the WHOLE world".
I guess I will be taking the title from this woman.

Tell Nate that every kid in the world has told their mother that they are the "meanest" mom in the world or the WHOLE world. Tell him to be glad that his mom cares enough to be mean! Tell him some moms don't care for their children at all, and would he like that? I'm making too much of this, aren't I??

You are right about the Nate episode. That's why children are for the young! "Anybodies" is probably right. Blogging makes me more aware of my grammar. I just don't remember all the rules about things I used to know. I got your present today. Dad helped me open the package and noticed that the chocolates were liquid, so they are in the refrigerator. I have trouble remembering how to spell refrigerator. I want to put a "d" in it for some reason!

Well, Mary Kate, you will be glad to know you are in good company! Patrick, that sweet, angelic little boy, goes back and forth telling me how mean I am with how I am the most wonderful mom-mom in the whole world. So, what can I say - just another childhood phase (or phrase) I guess. I guess your dirty kids can be friends with my dirty kids - we argue about baths alot also. I think they are just trying to be assertive too. Today I asked Wesley to pick up some toys and of course he responded by saying, "But I didn't do it". I thought it was time for some logic so I decided to talk to him about some things. Our conversation went like this: Me: Who gets your clothes dirty? Wesley: I do. Me: Who washes them? Wesley: You do. Me: Who eats your food? Wesley: I do. Me Who cooks/pays for your food? Wesley: You do. He didn't say anything else, just when back and starting cleaning up! Score for Mommy!

You can't be the meanest mom in the WHOLE world, because according to Mark, that's me :)

I got your package and LOVED it. I was in need of chocolate yesterday in a bad way! :)
