1) Why is it that kids drive you absolutely batty but when you’re without them for even a small amount of time, you miss them?
2) Why is it that kids always get incredibly thirsty RIGHT before bed?
3) Do kids have some type of sixth sense about when you’re about to sit down and get comfortable? Is that why they choose to ask you for something immediately AFTER you plop your butt on the couch?
4) Do kids think the bathroom is some type of magic portal to another universe and if they leave you alone in there for even a minute, they will never see you again?
5) Why is Daddy never asked to do ANYTHING?
6) How is it that I weigh less than I did pre-pregnancy but my body is nowhere NEAR close to being the same shape?
7) Why is it that no matter how much sleep I got the night before or how much I rested during the day, the hours of 5 p.m.-7 p.m. make me want to punch someone in the face and then take a nap?
Oh if I can figure out why they get so thirsty right before bedtime, I would be in heaven. I just keep cold water near the bed in case she asks for it. It can’t be any water either. It HAS to be cold water.
You forgot this one: Why is it that as soon as I get on the phone, all the kids NEED to talk to me and have me do something?
Yes, yes, yes, especially to #’s 2-6. I can be right next to my daughter, and then as soon as I decide to sit down o watch tv or read, I hear something like, “Mooommmyy! Can you help me dig the tissue out of my butt?”
I also want to know why they always have to catch me when I’m going into my “secret” stash of goodies. Can I just have some chocolate and cookies to myself sometimes? It’s like they listen for the sound of rustling plastic and then suddenly appear behind me. I am ashamed to say that I’ve occasionally reduced myself to eating my personal snacks in the basement, behind the furnace.
The mysteries…sigh. Why are there never enough socks? Why do kids have sixth sense everytime you’re ready to have some “alone time?”
There are never enough socks!! LOL
#5 and #7 FOR SURE lol
