Can I just say “AMEN” !?!?!
Love love love this ….. making my Eldest Spawn read it right now. Before he runs off to school. at 6:30 in the morning. stupid bus. I haven’t had enough caffeine to be thankful for said stupid bus….

Yes, yes you may.
6) “I forgot” doesn’t work at daddy’s work with daddy’s wife, mommy. Don’t “forget” anything.
7) I walked uphill both ways in the rain. A light sprinkle outside does not qualify you for a held umbrella or an out of the way ride to school.

Seriously. Why the aversion to rain when they love to swim & shower??
This morning I decided to be VERY PATIENT AND CALM AND NOT YELL at my six-year-old boy who has ADHD and talks so much that he forgets to eat, brush his teeth, or dress himself. I succeeded (BARELY), but we ended up being late.
Evidently I have to choose between being a bitch and being undependable.

Deciding to be calm is the first step. It’s SO HARD, though.
I shall print this and post it for all to see. Now if I can just get these younger kids to read….Absolutely spot on!
You Know it Happens at Your House Too recently posted..Uh oh…People Have Pissed Me Off Again
Just like my House Rules: I make sure at least one kid in the house can read them & spread the word to those who can’t.
I must be slow on the uptake. Don’t understand the instructions
where are the ground rules? Or is this too much for Monday?
You may not be seeing the image? It’s big & blue & full of very important information.
The most valuable lesson we can teach our kids is to be kind to… wait, no– screw that– it’s how to put a waffle in a toaster. Voila! Breakfast! Now if they could just make a decent martini…

YES WAFFLES.
Lose the attitude. You don’t like Mondays? I’ve done YOUR Mondays. MY Mondays suck more, trust me.

Yeah, kids! I wish I could go to school and drink milk from those little boxes and never mop a floor ever.
Monday can suck it.

In summary? Yes. That.
It seems so simple, right? A mom can dream.
Steph at I’m Still Learning recently posted..Teaching kids to be nice
Dream. And print this out to hang on her kids’ walls.
Ugh. Yeah. The little morning “IT’S WAKE UP TIME” Klaxon is so annoying.
Jester Quen recently posted..SITS Day
I get “ITS MORNING TIIIIIMMMME!!!”
6. The more you complain about how tired you are…the earlier I will keep making you go to bed the night before (don’t think I’ll make you go to bed at 4 p.m.?? Try me).
7. Whining at me about how cold you are only makes me want to rip that blanket off you to see how fast you’ll jump out of bed. You get up…I get a laugh. Win win.
Michelle, I idolize you. Where do I get Rules 1-5 and 8-10? and the sequel?
I tell me kids this: You’re cranky? Let’s all go to bed right after dinner today. And dinner will be at 3pm.
I can’t wait until my toddler is old enough to understand the rules.

The only problem is, once they KNOW them and still ignore them, it’s even more annoying.
I’m thinking temporary tattoo. Place on forearm of children every Sunday night.
Bethany @ Bad Parenting Moments recently posted..Long Live the Terrible Twos
Genius! Get that pattened and send me a pack, pronto.
Yes to every word. Except the same goes for ALL the days.
Hollow Tree Ventures recently posted..My Alone-Time Agenda
Very good point…
Is it wrong to really LOVE a high fever on a Monday morning?
Not if the fever means a sleepy, medicated day on the couch.
AMEN! Especially #2
I never get around to their book bags until late Sunday night.
Deb McCormick recently posted..Man’s directions versus women’s directions
I get around to them when I’m gathering them to get in the car on Monday morning. Not my finest habit.
Hah! My son’s bus comes at 6:30 am. I am just dragging my ass out of bed at that hour. Thank goodness for teenagers – sort of.
OUCH that is early!
Spoken like a true mom!
That I am!
