Great moments in mothering.
Apr. 7th, 2009 02:50 pmLet's see what I've accomplished today:
Called total strangers "ghetto trash" in front of my children. (In my defense,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
xavi7734 started it.)
Gotten into a ridiculous argument with Anya about which Backyardigans episodes were on the DVR, culminating in me snapping, "Which of us can read, you or me? I'm telling you, Pirate Camp IS NOT ON THERE."
Almost let Gabriel get ponged with a bowling ball.
Shared the last snack cake with Monster after extracting a promise that she won't tell Ez when he wakes up, then let her watch aforementioned Backyardigans episodes while I read dirty fan fiction.

Furthermore, I had the following conversation with Monster after we had to leave the bowling alley instead of playing video games, since our friends were leaving and Ezra was dead tired:
Anya: I wish YOU worked here like Carrie. Why don't you have a job?
Me: Because I stay home with you. Sometimes mommies work and sometimes daddies do, and sometimes both do.
Anya: But you don't do anything.
Me: I don't have a job, no.
Anya: Is all of our money Daddy's?
Me: Well, no...sort of...well, Daddy has a job and earns money--
Anya: And you spend it?
Me: No! Well, yes, on groceries and clothes and--
Anya: And Target.
Me: *sigh* Yes.
Anya: So it's all Daddy's money?
Me: No, it's our money.
Anya: But you don't do anything.
Me: I DO things; I just don't have a job.
Anya: *silent for a long time.* It's okay, Mommy. I don't think Tara does anything either.

The inside has her signature, and is a crime scene representation of the accident that caused the loss of the spare tire on the back of the toy Jeep. You can see it spinning away on the bottom after the impact. In the upper right is evidently a squirrel that didn't get out of the way.
