I really do, you know.
Love playing house with my children. Snuggling. Smooching. Brushing curls. Playing dress up. Giggling. Fostering their curiosity. Living in the imaginary.
I adore it all!
But by the evening...I am SO ready to spike their little sippy cups with sedatives...and call it a day!
::smile::
Hence...one dusky drive last week I turned up the tunes and told the kids...
NO TALKING until we get home!
Every time they attempted to break the silence...up went the volume a notch.
It was fabulous!
And I couldn't help myself. I was smiling inside & out as I put the car in park.
No sooner had the engine dinned...
when Tobin piped up...
Mom...that was great idea you know. Making us think & not talk...
It gave me a chance to think of 27 ways to better my life!
I've been in stitches ever since...

You're hilarious!! Your kids have such imaginations too. I'm sure all Moms have thought briefly about spiking the sippy cups!!!
That's hilarious! Not to mention a good tip for driving!
Spiking sippycups...hmmm...there's a thought! I have phoned my husband & told him that I need a drink or something, but now I'm moving onto the sippy cup!:)
what a riot! such a smart lil guy!
oh, and i do the volume thing too - the car seems to b the kids fav time to riddle me with 100 questions & to bother the heck outta each other....sometimes i have to tell them to look out their own window, keep their hands in their lap & to lock their lips! then the kids' tunes go up! but spiking sippy cups sounds like a plan too! ~lol~
